Effective paddling is the core of River Survival. All four players must paddle in sync to gain speed. To steer, players on one side of the raft must paddle more vigorously than those on the other. Communicate clearly: 'Left side paddle!' or 'Right side hard!' to navigate tight turns and avoid obstacles like rocks and whirlpools. Hitting obstacles slows you down and costs valuable time, so precision is key. Aim for balloons to trigger minigames and earn extra time.
