Tiny River

Fly a tiny jet up a winding river. Dodge the banks, shoot boats, helicopters and enemy jets, fly over fuel depots to refuel, and blow up the bridge at the end of every level. A classic 8-bit arcade shooter, rebuilt for the wrist and the thumb.

MADE FOR APPLE WATCH

• Steer with the Digital Crown. It’s precise, and it responds the moment you turn back.
• Tap anywhere to fire, or pinch with Double Tap for a three-shot burst.
• Prefer one control? Turn on Auto-fire and just steer. It never shoots your fuel.
• Short sessions: one level is about a minute. Lower your wrist and the game pauses itself.
• A watch-face complication shows your best score and current level.

ALSO ON IPHONE

• Drag anywhere to steer, like a trackpad, and tap to fire. A second finger can fire while the first steers.
• The river sits on top and your thumbs below, so your hand never covers the action.
• Your best score and best level are shared between iPhone and Apple Watch through iCloud.

25 RIVERS, THEN ENDLESS LAPS

• Five biomes: Meadow, Autumn, Canyon, Glacier and Night.
• Forks, islands, narrows, lakes and slaloms. The river grows narrower and wilder as you climb.
• After level 25 the river starts again, faster and with less fuel, and your score keeps growing.
• A program checks that every level can be passed with fuel always within reach. Hard, never unfair.

FUEL, LIVES, SCORE

• Watch the gauge: a low-fuel alarm warns you, and an empty tank costs a life.
• Five lives, extra lives at score milestones, and a bonus for flying a level without a scratch.
• Progress is saved at every bridge. Close the app, come back later and continue where you left off.
• Chase the top score on the Game Center leaderboard.

TINY, AND NOTHING ELSE

• Crisp pixel art and sound effects, all generated by the game itself.
• Haptics for hits, refuelling, low fuel, crashes and cleared levels.
• Works offline. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, no in-app purchases.
• VoiceOver labels and Reduce Motion support.
