Tiny Rowers

What is it?

Tiny Rowers is a one-thumb arcade game seen from above. Your boat drifts down an endless river; you row on the left or the right to steer around rocks, whirlpools, waves and hungry crocodiles. Hit something and the run is over. There are no lives, no energy and no timers: every run starts in a second and ends the moment you stop paying attention.

Along the way you pick up pebbles. Pebbles buy boats and looks in the boathouse, and every so often the gift machine hands you a new rower: a frog, a duck, a cat, a capybara and eight more, each with its own little personality (and its own way of falling in the water).

Tiny Rowers is made by Kencha Games, an independent studio, in Godot. Art, effects and faces are drawn by code; the sounds were produced for the game. It runs in the browser on phones and computers, and it is coming to Android as an app.
