Improved UI
War of Rafts is a fun, chaotic take on the '.io' genre. You start as a lone survivor on a small wooden plank in the middle of the ocean. By steering your raft into other planks and survivors, you grow your craft and your crew. It’s a very simple 'bigger is better' loop, but the addition of naval combat—where your crew automatically shoots at other players—makes it much more dynamic than a standard 'snake' clone.
The game is visually bright and has a great sense of momentum. I particularly enjoyed the environmental hazards and the 'drops' like treasure chests that give you defensive turrets or engine boosts. It’s a bit ad-heavy, which is common for these types of games, but the actual gameplay is a great way to kill ten minutes. There's a genuine thrill in seeing your tiny plank turn into a massive floating fortress with dozens of archers and soldiers.
Dynamic raft-building mechanics
Automatic, fast-paced combat
Colorful 3D ocean environments
Competitive global leaderboards
Prioritize picking up lifebuoys early on. Each lifebuoy adds a soldier to your raft. Having a larger crew is more important than having a large raft, as they are the ones who actually deal damage to enemies.
Don't just head-on clash with larger rafts. Circle around them and try to pick off their outer sections to reduce their crew before moving in for the kill.
The goal is to be the last raft standing or have the largest raft when the timer runs out.
This game has some real potential, but there are a few ways you could improve it. (P.S. I am only a few stages in; so if there’s anything you have done, but I haven’t found yet and wrote about here, don’t worry about adding it.) Here are some ideas for features that could make your game even better: Firstly, it would be awesome if there was more progression to keep the player interested in the game. Maybe start introducing obstacles like walls that the player can’t go through or involve things that could be used for strategies. It would also be a great thing if you could add more strategic elements to balance out the power-based ones. Secondly, power-ups for the levels would be great! Say there’s a level that the player is really struggling to get past; maybe for a set amount of coins or a commercial, they could get a buff that allows them to increase their stars/points more during the level. Each raft expansion or crewmate gained would cause their points to go up by, say, 6 instead of 5. Or maybe there could be upgrades that are expensive but permanent (somewhere between 1000 and 10,000 coins) like increasing the speed of your rafts. Thirdly (and this is by far the suggestion I’d like to see most), maybe you could add an online arena-type feature in the game. A hundred or so players would get grouped into a map, and they’d all be floating around trying to increase their scores. Maybe the player could get an opponent’s rafts and crewmates once they’ve been defeated, and a new player could come into the arena. Of course, there would have to be some strategic element to this, or some form of power compensation given to the new players in the arena. That way, power imbalances couldn’t become uncontrollable (the new players have to stand a chance). Most of these are just random ideas about how you could expand the game and make it really stand out, but I hope you enjoyed looking at them and take some of them into account. This has the potential to be a really great game, so I hope it goes well for you all! Thanks for the experience!
This game had potential. Ended up uninstalling after endless ad loops and 3 soft crashes. Installed this on a newer iPad so it was not a software version issue. While the number of ads are a problem, it’s the quality of the ads and their development that makes this game impossible to play. If you watch the ad until the end, you would normally see an “x” or >> that would allow you to move past the ad. But in this game you are either caught in a loop where you are forced to toggle between “Done” and “x” to get out of the ad OR you see a countdown clock that takes 15-20 seconds while showing it is only counting down 5. 5……4……3….2……………….1. And, if you are really “lucky”, the ads will get caught in a loop, crash your game and make you start all over. This game is nothing more than a vehicle to advertise for other poorly developed games. Ads are part of most games- that’s a given. But even when you try to get rid of the ads in this game, they do not disappear. The 20 seconds of game play is not worth the 5+ minutes of ads and soft crashes. This is clearly a poorly designed, ad bloated, cash grab game. I’ve reviewed hundreds of games in my time. I cannot think of another “game” that was so poorly disguised as this app spam is. And there have been some truly terrible games over the years. You will also find that the majority of the positive reviews were written by, who I suspect to be, the developer themselves. The gentle way they dance around the ad complaints, is laughable. Many of the reviews use the same wording, bring up the same problem Then, the developer explains that the ads are necessary but they have done their best to make them as short as possible. Miraculously they still manage to pull 4/5 stars for a game many say that THEY CAN’T PLAY. This game should be pulled from Apple App Store. It is nothing but an app for ads.
the ads i would say arent for kids. it was inappropriate because, you should not let kids get apps were you have to make people naked. i also don’t like that after every level, you get an AD. i think the game is amazing, just not the ads. i would recommend the 0 ads. it takes away all of the ads! now some ads way pop up, but only if you need to watch an ad to get it. i recommend this, just not the fact that it has horrible ads.
I love the game. The controls are smooth and the animation, while simple, is clean and good quality. My one problem is with the “no ads” button not working. I fully understand that for a new game like this, ad revenue is important and im happy that you guys are doing so well. I just wanted to make you aware of the “no ads” button. If it helps, you could try charging for it like a minor subscription. Idk about anyone else but I’d be willing to pay about $2.00 for it. Hope this helps!
So when I got this game I died but then I figured out how to play it was so much fun I couldn’t stop playing for the next like four hours until my mom took it out of my hands you should definitely get this game totally appropriate if Dre ads that video and I want to stay in all the games that I see of this war games do you like on the seat they are they’re not that thing this is the first everyone I found that it is after you see war game
The game has some not so great aspects: There are only 5 levels. If you beat 4, the last one is simple, unless the game glitches, which it does. I’m currently hovered over the entire shielded city, with its 2 islands inside my ship, but I can’t attack anything, and no one can attack me, no matter where I move. The dynamite chests don’t cause any damage to anyone. Even as your raft gets bigger, the ocean doesn’t. If you don’t grab a lifelong magnet, you’re limited to how many people you can pick up from the water, which is fine until level 3 when the Boss has 400. There’s no variety in the play area; no islands to navigate around, no edies or whirlpools, no land based enemies. It’s just a big rectangle. Once you figure out to attack as many ships as possible and avoid the boss until you’ve collected every person and raft and treasure chest in the rectangle, you hit the boss and you’re done. It’s almost impossible to lose.
Overall the game is super fun but there is one bug that will make the level impossible which is that when u are fighting a enemy but then the health would not go down but when you fix it it will make the game better the ads are okay I understand that it gives you money to improve your and you can make a no ads button that would make the game more easier to play and I can have more fun and be relaxed
Let’s get this straight the game is awesome it correctly advertises itself and I respect it for that and I also realize ads are for money but I don’t get putting ads every single level like I get three in a row after each level and each level takes one to two minutes I may play the game again if I show interest in the sea battle gameplay but know I don’t play games that use ads every moment they get. respect to you for making a legit game aside from those fake ads
