I love the graphics, and the gameplay is simple but effective. The jumping and drowing mechanics are well thought out. I like the game :)

This is such a cutie game, I was amazed for that 2nd chance mechanic!

This game feels very well made, with a great intro screen that sucks the player right into the dire situation. Learning how to the river works on your first play through makes you feel the panic of the characters, much like how the second chance mechanic surprises you on your first run. The visuals are just too satisfying, and the leaderboard would hook any competitive player. Even just dethroning the bots felt like a large display of skill. Amazing.

Here is my review : 

👉First, man, these animals! I love the sprites, but that's not the point—I need to be objective and not get distracted by these animals.

👉Secondly, the concept of the longer you stay, the more speed you get is good. It really makes you want to play the game. You can play for hours if you want, so yeah, it works.

Now, the bad points. The score system, dude, it could be really cool if the score was updated for each player, especially at a certain moment in the game. Also, it could be cool if moving your character up and down was faster because at one point in the game, it’s a bit random. You don’t know if you'll land on a rock, and there’s not really a way to dodge except by jumping. And yeah, like IGE said, I can’t really see the link with ‘nothing can go wrong.

Its a weird theme, but I took it sarcastically rather than literally- see my original explanation at the top :)

Ok, I hadn't seen that, yes so it work

It doesn’t really fit into Nothing Can Go Wrong, but is still really fun to play.

  • it’s cute

i also agree. very cute, doesn't fit the theme.

I brainstormed many ideas of activities where you might say "nothing can go wrong"
Thought of cooking, a heist, car repair, but eventually landed on inner tubing.

There are always multiple ways to interpret a theme, hope the explanation helps.

in my opinion, this game doesn't really fit the theme "nothing can go wrong"

Developer

I interpreted it as a sarcastic statement (which is usually how it is meant) rather than literally nothing can go wrong

as someone who goes Inner Tubing with my family on a regular basis I can say that this is 100% accurate

Submitted(+2)

But more seriously great game! the idea of going under water and having to get back on before you drown was fun as hell. Check out my game for something that's also 100% accurate lol.

Cool!

This game is so good, man. The style is really gorgeous, music is really good and the gameplay is really funny. Even so, I think I miss some extra mechanics, like power-ups or something like that.

Submitted(+2)

Cool game, I really like the style. However, I think it would be great if there were more gameplay mechanics.

Submitted(+2)

I like the style, its pretty cute. Overall a pretty fun game
