Lazy River Rally
It's time for the annual lazy river rally. Compete to set the fastest time on our three lap course, but watch out for the other bathers!
For those looking for a challenge - sub one minute times are perfectly possible, think about your line and momentum and you'll get there :)
HOW TO PLAY
- Arrow Keys or WASD to move
- Press space when a slingshot post is highlighted to lock on
- Press space when locked on the boost away!

The movement is super satisfying and I love the art! Really like how you've done the leaderboard names too, nice work!
Thank you!
You've got something very special here, with lots of possibilities if you want to build on it after the jam. I can't believe you did it in ~four days!
Thank you! Honestly I was a little worried about this one, the prototype was really quite dull to play right up until the last 24 hours where it finally started to come together
I did wonder but somehow it all works. I don't usually enjoy physics games but, for some reason here, even when it goes all wrong and you end up in the wrong place and totally mess up your time it doesn't feel frustrating. I don't know why. Might be because the rounds are very quick plus the sense of whimsy.
(And, as @BVSSIC said, tight controls so you don't feel as if you're fighting the game, you know you just need to perfect your technique and that is possible with practice.)
Adorable little game, incredibly straight to the point (in a good way!) Fun tight controls and of course it wouldn't be a NotJam project without awesome fonts! :)
Thank you! :)
How fun! Getting a feel for the range of the grapple took some time, but once I got that nailed down the momentum from swinging felt great.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! Always love grapple mechanics, this one was fun to implement :)
