We finally did it: we're making a multiplayer raft boat game! This week Super Raft Boat Together will be a part of the Steam Next Fest, so you can play the demo for free for a limited time!
The original Super Raft Boat will now be known as Super Raft Boat Classic! It's not going anywhere, so feel free to keep playing it everywhere it exists.
We've been working on it for a while now, so it's great to finally be able to talk about it. This game would not have been possible without everyone who played Classic and VR, so thank you all for playing, and we hope you enjoy Together!

The terrain here is brutal, the fish are relentless, and the icebergs never stop coming. If you choose to go the route of The Arctic Ocean, you skip Rough Waters and The Sea of the Damned, and end up in the middle of The Blood Sea. This also yields a Trinket in a bottle whether you've looped or not. Do know that you will get less kills overall if you choose The Arctic Ocean over passing through Rough Waters.
How do I get there?
On the second wave of Clear Skies, a penguin egg will come from the top of the screen. If you successfully catch the egg and protect it throughout the wave, the egg will hatch. If the penguin is on your raft when you pick a Trinket, you will be brought to The Arctic Ocean. Once you've reached The Arctic Ocean, the penguin will remain on your raft for the rest of your journey for as long as you can protect it :)
Trinkets
Sheet Metal
Turns your center raft into a Metal Raft. This raft can not be destroyed.

Stats Screen
You can now view your stats on the Character Select menu. These stats have been saved since the previous update, so you can jump right in and view your kills, playtime, loops, wins, deaths, and best run for each character!
New Achievements
