A River Beyond

In this game, you control a ship sailing on the Styx river. You must defend yourself against ghosts (and rocks, alas!) using your canonball or sinking bellow the waterline.

The game is entirely touch based. It works with mouse or touch on the phone.

• Tap your ship to shoot a canonball forward.
• Tap anywhere else to orient/move there.
• Hold your ship for a few miliseconds to sink under water for 2.5 seconds, becoming immune.

It's not much but it's honest work.
