Raft Wars Unblocked — Play Free Online

Raft Wars is a physics-based artillery game with a cartoon pirate setting. Simon and his brother are out on a makeshift raft guarding their treasure, and a crowd of pirates, surfers and sailors on rival rafts keeps floating in to take it. Your job is to lob shots across the water and knock every attacker off before they reach you.

A session is built from short, self-contained rounds. You get one throw at a time, watch where it lands, and adjust. There is no timer pressure from a scoreboard, only the pressure of enemies closing in, which makes it a calm game compared with most of the ragdoll and smash-the-room titles on this site.

If you came here for Kick The Teddy Bear, the appeal is similar: you are launching things at silly targets and enjoying how they react. The difference is that Raft Wars asks you to aim rather than just mash, so every hit feels earned. It runs in the browser with nothing to install.

How to play

Everything is done with the mouse. Click and hold to set the power of the throw, aim with the mouse, then release to fire. The longer you hold, the harder and farther the shot goes, so the power and the aim are two separate decisions you make on every throw.

A round ends when the enemies on the water are dealt with. If they reach your raft first, you lose the round and start it again, so there is little cost to experimenting.

Tips

• Use the first shot of a round as a range finder. Note where it lands relative to the target, then correct instead of guessing again from scratch.
• Change power and angle one at a time. Adjusting both together makes it hard to tell which one caused a miss.
• Deal with the enemies that are closest to your raft first. A distant target can wait, a near one cannot.
• Throw a little later than feels natural when targets are bobbing on the waves, since they keep moving while the shot is in the air.

Similar games on Kick the Buddy

If you like aiming and launching, Human Bullet Gun is another game about firing at targets, with a more chaotic feel. Smash It and Smash Room swap precision for destruction, letting you wreck whatever is on screen with a pile of tools. Interactive Buddy, the Flash game that started the genre, is the one to try when you want pure sandbox play with no goal.

Raft Wars suits short breaks on a desktop or laptop, since the click-and-hold control feels best with a real mouse.
