What is Raft Wars 2?

Raft Wars 2 is a turn-based artillery shooting game developed by Martijn Kunst and TinyDobbins. The story follows Simon and his brother as they discover that a commercial water park has been built right over their buried treasure. Determined to reclaim their gold, the brothers hop onto their inflatable raft with tennis ball launchers to drive out the water park staff. The game runs directly in your web browser with no download or setup required.

Key features

• Trajectory-based artillery combat: Calibrate launch angle and shot power to lob projectiles over slides, barricades, and floating platforms.
• Tactical weapon arsenal: Switch between standard tennis balls and explosive munitions like grenades and rockets to overcome fortified positions.
• Raft reinforcement system: Earn gold coins from successful encounters to purchase protective raft armor and enhance team defense.
• Environmental hazards: Target perches and inflatable floats to knock opposing lifeguards and security guards directly into the water.
• Alternating turns: Take calculated shots while anticipating return attacks from rival water park defenders.
• Cross-device browser compatibility: Built using modern web standards for smooth performance on desktop computers, Chromebooks, and mobile screens.

How to play

1. Observe enemy placement across the water park structures and identify clear firing angles.
2. Click or touch near your launcher, dragging backward to align the trajectory angle and charge shot power.
3. Select alternative munitions from the lower interface if you need explosive splash damage against entrenched targets.
4. Release your click or tap to fire, observing where the projectile lands relative to your target.
5. Knock every opposing guard, mascot, and builder into the water or deplete their health meters.
6. Collect stage rewards upon victory and visit the shop to invest in sturdier raft equipment.

Arsenal and upgrades

Success in water park battles depends on choosing the right tool for each defensive setup. Managing your ammunition and coins between stages ensures your raft stays afloat against tougher opponents.

Equipment	Combat purpose
Tennis balls	Standard infinite ammunition suitable for direct lines and open targets.
Grenades	Bouncing explosives effective for damaging clusters of enemies behind barricades.
Rockets	High-impact munitions designed to dislodge stubborn foes from elevated perches.
Raft armor	Defensive hull upgrades that absorb incoming enemy projectiles during return volleys.

Tips and strategy

• Target platform edges: Blasting enemies off elevated towers into the pool removes them instantly, saving valuable munitions and turns.
• Use ricochet angles: Bounce tennis balls and grenades off water slides and ramps to hit guards sheltered beneath overhangs.
• Eliminate heavy hitters early: Focus your first volleys on guards carrying rockets or grenades to prevent severe return damage to your raft.
• Reinforce raft armor early: Buying raft upgrades in the shop gives your team extra durability to withstand inaccurate shots during tricky encounters.
