How to play River Rush
An endless vertical scrolling shooter — fly up the river as far as you can.
🎯 Goal
Pilot your jet up a never-ending, twisting river. It gets narrower and busier the longer you survive. Rack up points by destroying enemies and covering distance — there's no finish line, just your high score.
🎮 Controls
- ◀ / ▶ steer left and right to avoid the banks
- ▲ / ▼ speed up or slow down
- FIRE shoot enemies (Space on desktop)
- BOMB clear everything on screen (B on desktop)
- Desktop players can also use the Arrow keys or WASD
⚙️ How it works
- Crashing into the riverbank costs a life
- Watch your fuel gauge — fly over the purple F depots to refuel
- Running out of fuel makes you crash, just like hitting a bank
- You can shoot a fuel depot for points, but it won't refill you — choose wisely
- You start with 3 lives and 2 screen-clearing bombs
💡 Tips
- Slow down before tight, narrow stretches to thread the gap
- Save bombs for when the screen is swarming or you're boxed in
- Don't get greedy shooting fuel depots — keep an eye on the gauge
