The “The "it looks more like a worm to me" for not actually being a Sandworm of Arrakis” Award


Presented by ntoll to:

Riverborn (Back to the drawing board)

A game about canoeing on a tropical river.

You have 5 minutes to get photos of 3 river animals. Some Aussie guy is very insistent about this.

Where is the river? Are all these creatures authentic river fauna? Is this a canoe or a kayak?

Launching

The easiest way to run the game is to install uv and uv run riverborn.

Controls

At the title screen, press Space to play.

  • Left Arrow - paddle on the left side
  • Right Arrow - paddle on the right side

That's it! Go spot some fauna! Quick, because your mate said so.

When you're done

There are some editor controls you can play with. They are all invoked using the mouse.

Press Tab to cycle tools (the CLI says which tool is selected). Click/drag to use the tool. Mousewheel to cycle animals.

The terrain and animals are persisted when you quit the game. Don't mess up your copy of the game data and blame me.
