THE DEMO RETURNS
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1955340/Super_Raft_Boat_Together/
The Super Raft Boat Together demo is back! It's been super polished and will allow people try out the game before deciding to buy it. There's many things that are not available in the demo, the biggest being that there's only 3 areas (Clear Skies, Rough Waters, and Sea of the Damned), and after that is an endless kraken swarm. This gameplay loop makes it similar to Super Raft Boat Classic, but without the ability to loop.
FROGGY SWAMP
Sea of the Damned now has an alternate biome, players can now travel to the Froggy Swamp! Here there are frogs, flies, turtles, and even a new boss, the Crocodile! This area now brings the total biome count to 9!
FREEZER
The Freezer has arrived and is now the main boss of Arctic Ocean! He also has another form, Electric Freezer, who appears in Electric Flow. Freezer can shoot regular bullets, and ice cube bullets that slows players and freezes rafts. His electric form also shoots electricity bullets that stun players. Are you tough enough to face this frozen menace??
