Game Introduction

A pneumatic system can jolt the raft seat whenever the player(s) collide into rocks and/or crash into big swells. An enormous 50-inch screen immerses the player(s) in the action as they float downstream. Two players can play at the same time. The raft seat accomadates up to two players. Two players as a team can combine their strength to paddle away from hungry dinosaurs, deadly whirlpools and so on. Several branches in the river allow players to choose their own course down the river. If players successfully reach one of three different endings in time, they are given a special bonus stage.
