Raft Wars is the classic turn-based shooting game where baby Simon and his brother defend their buried treasure from waves of enemies by launching projectiles from their raft. Originally created by Martijn Kunst and released as a Flash game, Raft Wars became one of the most popular browser games ever made, and this HTML5 version keeps the fun alive.
The story begins when baby Simon discovers a treasure chest buried at the beach. But word gets out, and soon pirates, Vikings, castle guards, and other treasure hunters come to steal it. Armed with tennis balls and sitting on a makeshift raft, you must aim and fire at enemies to knock them into the water before they do the same to you.
The gameplay is turn-based — you adjust your aim angle and power, then fire. Physics determine where your projectile lands, and hitting enemies knocks them back or off their platforms. Between levels, you earn money to upgrade your raft, buy better weapons, and add crew members. The progression system adds strategic depth to what starts as a simple aiming game.
