Pink River

About

Pink River puts you in charge of a raft that's impossible to steer. Your job is to keep it intact as it floats down a chaotic river. The catch is you can only modify the raft while moving, using limited materials to patch it up or change its shape. The gameplay is a mix of quick thinking and trial and error as you dodge hazards and navigate shifting terrain. It's a stripped-down platformer that relies on timing and resourcefulness over complex controls. The game's strength lies in its simple but clever concept. Balancing the need to build and the danger of being carried away creates a constant sense of tension. The lack of steering means every decision feels high-stakes. While it's short and has a rough art style, the core loop is addictive. It’s a test of adaptability that leaves you thinking about how to improve with each run.
