Background

Raft Wars, created by developer Martijn Kunst, became one of the most fondly remembered flash-era artillery games, built around turn-based projectile battles between rival raft crews armed with everything from simple sand to increasingly absurd weaponry. It follows the classic artillery-game format popularized by titles like Worms and Scorched Earth — calculating trajectory and power to land hits on opponents across a variable battlefield.

Its charming, family-friendly presentation and steady weapon-upgrade progression helped it stand out among artillery games of its era, giving players a clear sense of growing power across a series of escalating battles against different raft crews.

How to Play

• Mouse — aim your shot's angle and power.
• Launch projectiles at opposing raft crew members, accounting for distance and trajectory.
• Earn money from victories to spend on stronger weapons and upgrades.
• Defeat each rival raft crew to progress through the game's battles.

Goal & Purpose

The objective in each battle is to defeat the opposing raft crew by landing accurate projectile hits, using earned currency to upgrade your arsenal for increasingly tough encounters.

Why Play Raft Wars

It's a beloved flash-era artillery classic with genuinely satisfying weapon progression. GBK Games also has Gunblood for another classic precision-aiming game.
