Gently Down the Marsh
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Row, row, row your boat,
gently down the marsh.
Quietly, caref...
Oh hey, I didn't see you there!
Welcome!
This is a game three friends made together during an 8-hour mini-jam.
It is the story of four companions in a canoe, each with their own oar, two to a side. Well, they can switch sides by double tapping their key but they must coordinate and work together to navigate through the twisting bends, the rushing rapids and the hazardous debris.
The goal? The goal is to reach the end! We don't know what's on the other side, but we keep hearing the grass is greener there. I guess there's only one way to find out!
All together:
Row, row, row your boat,
gently down the marsh.
Quietly, carefully, slowly, gently,
failure can be harsh.

Controls
Player controls are displayed in the beginning, but for clarity's sake, the key for each player position is: Q R U & P
- Tap and Hold Q, R, U or P to row each oar respectively
- Double Tap Q, R, U or P to switch sides respectively
NB: The exhibition build uses Q, W, E and R and has double tap disabled. P is full game reset. It also has an idle detection that resets the game, and does not close or crash quit like the normal version.

Seems to me like I'm going up the marsh.
Kind of easy to get stuck and having to restart
Nice game
