The sequel picks up after the first fight. The opening comic recaps how three-year-old Simon dug up gold and diamonds on the beach and defended them with his brother. Then the brothers are in a small plane with a sunglasses-wearing pilot, someone shouts that there is an iceberg ahead, and it turns out to be a construction site. A water park is going up exactly where they buried the treasure. That park, Aqualand, is the battleground for the whole game: pools, a hamburger stand, deck chairs, umbrellas and diving towers. Level 1, The Paint Bucket, has a par of two and places a bucket on top of a wooden tower. Between shots Simon keeps himself busy in his float, putting on sunglasses or a swimsuit top and singing to himself. Credits list Martijn Kunst for the game, Mr Furby for music and Mara Junot for voices. The original release was in 2010; this file is the later BigDino build.

How to play Raft Wars 2
- Click PLAY on the title screen. Click through the plane and water park comic, or press SKIP.
- Each level card names the level and its par. Click to begin, and the camera pans over the targets.
- When the camera is back on the brothers, move the mouse to set direction and strength, then click to fire.
- After a miss, the previous trajectory stays on screen as pale dots, so you can adjust the next shot against it.
- Clear the level's objective in as few shots as possible to beat its par and move on to the next part of Aqualand.
Tips
- Move the pointer slowly and watch the dotted line stretch or shrink before clicking. Pulling it further out gives a longer shot.
- The camera pan at the start is the best look you get at the layout, so note how high and how far the target sits.
- Compare each new aim with the pale dots of the last shot. Small changes in angle are easier to judge than starting over.
- Par counts are low here, Level 1 allows just two shots, so it is worth a careful first aim rather than a quick one.
