SAN FRANCISCO - Feb. 28, 2013
–
Leading global and mobile social
game publisher 6waves, and Big Blue Bubble, the biggest, baddest
buccaneers of game development, today announced the launch
of
Raft Pirates
, an MMO featuring adorable robot
pirates made just for mobile devices. Starting today, sailors can
explore the online seas for resources to build armed rafts, plunder
other pirate ships for loot, and protect themselves against enemy
captains bent on snatching the booty for themselves. Join
the
Raft Pirates
for free on the shores of the App
Store:

Dive into the mean seas in search of weapons, resources,
blueprints, maps, diamonds, and gold. All of those materials are
needed to protect your ship against an onslaught of 25 different
bosses across five zones, and, more perilous still, the wrath of
other players! More weapons mean more dice rolls for a higher
chance to damage enemy ships, and more power to defend the ship
while the captain is offline.
Raft Pirates
features:
- Enter a giant mobile virtual world where real pirates play for
keeps!
- Search for sunken treasure to build the strongest raft with 33
different weapons and nine material types.
- Gather items to upgrade ships or purchase items in the shop
with in-game currencies including diamonds and gold.
- Fight through five zones with five bosses each.
- Engage other pirate ships in battle by rolling the dice: the
player with the higher dice roll delivers a swashbuckling blow!
More weapons provide more dice to roll.
- The high seas never sleep -- a raft is never invincible while a
captain is away.
The tranquil seas are about to get turbulent!
Raft Pirates is now on the App Store:
