Gameplay

The gameplay consists of a gondola controlled by the player that shoots various treasures directly upward towards plates that have matching slots on the side of a building in an attempt to match the treasure with its matching slot. Plates come in varied shapes such as bars, circles, half-circles, T-shapes, and X-shapes.

When level is completed, the player receives scoring for accuracy, speed, combos scored.

Game modes

The game includes four game modes:

  • Journey: Basic gameplay
  • Flood: An action mode in which the river level rises at a steady rate. Icons that splash in the water no longer cost the player.
  • Survival: Flood mode, but a single building that never ends.
  • Trick shots: Nothing but trick shots. The player is given a reward of 1,000 points for a successful trick shot, incrementing 1,000 points with each successful trick shot, and resetting to 1,000 after a failure.

There are 72 total buildings in the game among eight neighborhoods.
