Raft Survivor!

Raft Survivor! drops you onto a modest wooden platform adrift in an endless blue expanse. Your immediate goal is simple: stay alive by hooking floating barrels, planks, and crates that drift past. These materials let you patch up your raft, create fresh water, and cook food, turning a fragile starting point into a seaworthy haven. The ocean is not just a source of resources, though; it hides a persistent shark that circles nearby, ready to chew through your fragile foundation if you let your guard down. As you grow more confident, you can set course for distant islands, where new resources and opportunities await. Managing your hunger, thirst, and the integrity of your raft becomes a delicate balancing act. Each play session offers a fresh test of your resourcefulness and quick reflexes, making it easy to jump in for a few minutes or settle in for a longer expedition. The weather and the shark keep things unpredictable, ensuring that no two voyages feel quite the same.

What is Raft Survivor!

Cast away with nothing but a few planks under your feet. Raft Survivor! challenges you to turn a humble starting point into a floating fortress while the ocean throws everything it has at you.

How to Play

Use your cursor or touch to aim and cast a hook at floating debris, then drag it to your raft to collect supplies. Tap or click to craft items and build new sections, and keep an eye on your health, hunger, and thirst meters to survive.

Tips for Playing

Prioritize building a water purifier early to stave off dehydration.
Always have a spare spear or weapon ready when the shark gets aggressive.
Expand your raft strategically—making a square perimeter is more effective than just adding random planks.
Keep your inventory organized; you don't want to run out of space for crucial materials.
When exploring islands, stay near your raft so you can retreat quickly if the shark appears.
