Hello Super Raft Boat Together players! It's time for another update! This one focuses more on quality of life, base improvements to the game, and points brought up by the community!

Boss Squads

On Loop 1 some bosses (Dolphin, Otter, and Giant Fish) will appear as a duo. On Loop 2 they'll become a trio, and on Loop 3 and beyond, they'll become a squad of 4. Dolphin, Otter, and Cooler also got buffs to make them tougher.

Lobby Ghosts

There's a new way to find people to raft boat together! Lobby Ghosts will now appear in Raftport. They represent players that are hosting public lobbies or queuing. You can see who they're playing and how many are in their party. The public lobby list has also been updated to show this information.

Beta Power Slide

Beta can now "Power Slide" when starting a slide on a Buddy Raft. The power slide is more powerful and has more knockback, and instantly recharges his active ability. Beta can also cancel out of it with a regular slide. Beta will not hi-five Buddy Rafts when power sliding, only regular slide.

Magnet Raft

The magnet raft will draw in money, pickups, chests, bottles, and helpers that have fallen in the water. They're pretty handy to retain money from enemies, and can be used to make saves for drowning helpers!

New Trinkets

Haunted Lantern

Increases fire rate of self and allies when closeby to them, but your view becomes more limited.

Chrysalis

Reduced bullet size, but bullet size increases over time. Damage now scales with bullet size.

Dead Man's Switch

When an ally or buddy dies, burst into bullets. (Only in multiplayer)
