Salmon Run: Fish Survival

The whole of a salmon's life is one climb home. Ride the Klamath up past bear and eagle and dam, spawn on the gravel, and the run begins again in the next fish.

You are a single salmon answering an ancient call: swim home.

Modeled after the salmon returning up the Klamath River. Ride the current upstream against everything the river throws at you. Slip past bears waiting on the banks, dive under diving eagles, thread the nets, and fight your way up the falls. Snap up drifting insects for a burst of speed — but pace yourself, because your strength runs out, and you can only wrestle free so many times.

Reach the spawning gravel, leave the next generation behind, and the river carries the story onward. Every run is a life. Every life feeds the next.

A calm, beautiful, one-thumb arcade game about the salmon's life cycle — easy to pick up, quietly hard to master.
