I got one plank on the house but that was really just luck. I couldn't reach the planks on the floor as the player height was too high and I couldn't recenter myself lower without it being awkward. I wasn't sure how to the the planks down the river. There was no jump button so I would sink everytime I tried to get on the plank and use the other plank to paddle? The rabbit tutorial was great though, perfect way to let the player know how to play the game without giving me a long winded text box.

Thanks for the feedback!
Very sad the floor level is wrong for you, I tested with my son and it worked for both of us of different height, might be something happened in release version. You did it correctly with paddle, it's correct to stay up on one plank and use another as paddle. Sorry for these unfortunate bugs, seems they appear only on the .apk build, I'm going to remove apk version now.
Gave it another go and was able to complete the house! 5:29 was my score! I have to say the planks leading up to the high platform above the lava was the best part of the game. That could be an interesting game all on it's own. Different planks that have different powers, interesting platform configurations and booby traps. When it said that I had to glide with the wood plank I was like...Uhh... I bet I'm gonna bug out and do it wrong and fall... But nope! I flew! How friggin cool is that? Do you mind me asking how you worked that out in VR? That mechanic worked really really well.
Wow, thank you, I'm very glad you enjoyed it and made it to the end!
The glide motion is based on constant velocity:
* horizontally move in direction of sight, i.e. camera direction, with constant speed
* vertically remove gravity and move downwards with another constant speed
I set horizontal speed 5 times greater than vertical component to create feeling of gliding in the air.
