How to play Upstream
Reach a hand above your shoulder and pull down toward your waist. Alternate arms or paddle together; each stroke helps resist the current.
Choose Upstream from the game selection screen, then follow its camera calibration. You can play in a desktop browser with a webcam or use a phone camera paired to the Android TV app.
Levels and challenges
First Splash, Find Your Rhythm, Power Paddle and Champion Current. The first level is available immediately; completing a level unlocks the next one on that device.
Play tip: Use smooth strokes and keep your shoulders and hands visible to the camera.
