The Raft

Hiro, a boat with no motor, and Reason · after Stephenson's Snow Crash · part of Snow Crash

The Raft

  • The boat has no motor. Reason does: hold fire and the recoil shoves you the opposite way from where you aim.
  • Aim with the mouse or a finger (hold to fire), or turn the gun with left and right and fire with Space or Up.
  • Hold too long and Reason overheats and you drift until it cools. Short bursts nudge; long ones skid.
  • Pass the gates in order to the Enterprise. The arrow by the boat points the way. Currents help and hinder; crates can be shot apart.
  • Pirates board you or shoot at you. Shooting them pushes you off your line. A time trial: gold, silver and bronze times to beat.
  • Through the Raft is the handmade course. Today's Raft is built fresh each UTC day, the same for everyone.

Arrow keys or WASD move. Space, J or Z: fire. Shift, K or X: fine aim. P pauses.
