Raft Wars 2
The legendary raft-riding brothers return in Raft Wars 2, the action packed sequel where your hard earned treasure is at stake. After returning from a relaxing holiday, Simon discovers that a bustling water park has been built right on top of their secret gold stash. Leaving them with no choice, the duo loads up their super soakers and tennis ball cannons to shut the water park down for good, slide by slide.
How to Play & Game Mechanics
Raft Wars 2 is a side scrolling, physics based shooting game where precision is everything. You and your brother take turns trading shot with security guard, aggressive lifeguards, and annoyed tourists. The goal is simple: knock your opponents off their platforms and into the pool before they deplete your health bar. Because the game utilizes a realistic physics engine, you have to carefully calculate the trajectory, power, and arc of every single projectile to bypass obstacles and score direct hits.
The Controls
The controls are highly intuitive and completely responsive across both desktop and mobile web browsers:
- Mouse / Touchscreen: Click and drag your cursor (or press and hold on mobile screens) to adjust the angle and power of your shot. Release the click or lift your finger to fire.
- Upgrades Menu: Between levels, click on the shop icons to buy new ammunition types or fortify your boat.
Weapons, Special Ammo, and Raft Upgrades
Standard tennis balls are great for basic target practice, but as security gets tougher, you will need heavier artillery. Landing strategic shots earns you bonus coins that you can spend in the shop:
- Grenades & Rockets: Perfect for causing massive splash damage and knocking multiple enemies into the water at once.
- Raft Reinforcements: Upgrade your tiny raft into a sturdy, armored vessel to absorb heavy incoming fire without sinking.
- Team Expansions: Recruit extra crew member to add more firepower to your turns and increase your total health.
Tips for Victory
Don't just aim directly at the characters. Look for environmental weak points, like loose platform supports or heavy buckets of paint hanging overhead. Shooting these objects can trigger chain reactions that wipe out entire enemy teams in a single turn. Also, keep an eye out for bonus points awarded for clean headshots and quick level completions!
