You and your crew are tiny woodland critters hauling cargo down a river for a living. Your raft has no engine and no brakes, just a small rudder and a lot of current. Rapids, rocks, wildlife, and a wall of water behind you all want what's on your deck. Get it to the dock in one piece. Or close enough. Rapids is a first-person co-op party game for 1–4 players about moving precious cargo down a river that mostly does its own thing. Work the rudder, grab crates with both hands, hold the line through the rough stuff — and hang on when it all goes sideways. Quotas climb every run, and sooner or later the river wins. The question is how far you get first. Hold the Line Two-handed control — each hand works independently (left click / right click). Grab cargo, brace against the raft, or catch a crewmate sliding toward the edge. A raft you barely steer — the current sets your course; the rudder only nudges it. Lash crates to the deck hooks, shift your weight through the bends, and time a Wave in a Can boost when the wave gets close. Real physics — crates tip and slide, critters lose their footing, and a single bad hit can scatter a careful load across the deck. Haul, Deliver, Repeat Escalating quotas — deliver enough cargo to make it to the next run. The targets keep climbing and the river keeps getting harder. Two currencies, two upgrade trees — earn Scrip for raft upgrades and Acorns for personal perks. Bet your Acorns at the lobby card table before you set off. Run-based roguelite — every run starts fresh, with persistent unlocks and personal bests to chase. Better With a Crew 1–4 player online co-op — invite friends through Steam and crew up. No fixed roles — one of you steers, one wrangles cargo, one watches the water. The work sorts itself out on the fly. Rescue your crew — reach over the edge and pull a teammate out of the water before they go under. Solo play — possible, and a real test of nerve. The Creek Awaits Bright, chunky, and full of character — survive rocks, logs, whirlpools, and weather that turns on you. Customize your critter with hats, glasses, and scarves back at the lobby cabin between runs. Grab a crewmate, grab the cargo, and see how far the river lets you go.
