More about this game
Your goal is to ride a rolling log down a river without falling off. The log moves forward automatically, but it constantly drifts off balance. You must tap left or right to keep the balance meter in the green zone. If the meter stays in the red zone for too long, you fall and the run ends. As you progress through the three levels, the river gets faster, and you will face rocks, whirlpools, and rapids.
Tips
- Staying in the green zone makes the log move faster, helping you finish the course quicker.
- Whirlpools pull you off balance as you pass them, so be ready to tap against their pull.
- Hitting a rock kicks your balance heavily to one side, so try to stay centered before you reach one.
Questions

What happens if the meter goes into the red?
If the needle stays in the red zone for 0.8 seconds, you lose your balance and fall into the water, ending the run.
How do I get a stability streak?
You earn a stability streak by keeping the balance needle in the green safe zone for 0.85 seconds at a time.
