Raft Wars is a short, physics-flavored shooting game where you stand on an inflatable raft and fire projectiles at rival rafts. It’s easy to start and satisfying to improve at. If you searched for an “unblocked” version, this guide explains what the game really is, how aiming works and how to get through levels more efficiently, with a few safety notes about where you play.
Raft Wars is a level-based game by Martijn Kunst and TinyDobbins, a Dutch studio. You control Simon and his brother, who are protecting a stash of treasure from waves of enemies such as pirates, vikings and gangs.
It isn’t a raft-building game and it isn’t a team shooter. You start with simple projectiles and earn coins that unlock stronger ammunition and raft upgrades.
The names get mixed up constantly, so here’s a quick sort:
| Title | What it is |
|---|---|
| Raft Wars | The original single-player, level-based game. |
| Raft Wars 2 | The sequel. The story moves the action to a water park built over the treasure, with new enemies and settings. |
| Raft Wars Multiplayer | A separate game where your opponents are real players online instead of the computer. |
If a page lists deathmatch modes or raft-building in a Raft Wars game, treat it with suspicion. That doesn’t match how the original games are described.
You control the game with the mouse. Click and drag to set up a shot, then release to fire. Two things decide where the projectile lands:
Both matter. A good angle with too little power falls short, and too much power overshoots. That combination is the real skill in the game.
Two ideas show up in descriptions of the game:
Practicing bounce shots on easy levels is the quickest way to learn how projectiles behave. In later levels, they give you options when a direct line is blocked.
You earn coins by making good shots, and you spend them on stronger ammunition (such as grenades and rockets) and raft upgrades. A few sensible habits:
I haven’t verified current upgrade costs or exact item lists, so check your own version’s shop for specifics.
Two of the competing pages are hosted on GitHub and GitLab. Those are typically unofficial copies of game files. They can break, vanish when a repository is removed or carry cluttered ads. Where you can, prefer the studio’s official or portal-hosted versions.
Quick checks before you play on any unfamiliar page:
If a school or workplace blocks games, that’s normally a deliberate policy, and playing may break acceptable-use rules. Play on your own time and your own network instead.
A level-based shooting game where you and your brother Simon defend your treasure from enemy rafts by aiming and launching projectiles.

No. Raft Wars 2 is a sequel to the original, set around a water park. A separate game, Raft Wars Multiplayer, is the online version.
It depends on the site. Official or well-known portals are safer than unfamiliar mirrors. Avoid pages that ask for downloads or personal information.
The game was rebuilt from Flash into HTML5, and its listing describes play on desktop or mobile. Check the specific page you use.
