Going Overboard is a Happy Tree Friends Flash game published on the Mondo website. This game involves balancing Petunia on a lifesaver in the middle of the sea for as long as possible.
Description
Avast, Mateys! The Happy Tree Friends have been forced to abandon ship over dangerous waters while sailing the high seas.[3]
Gameplay
The game is played with a mouse. Petunia is balancing on a lifesaver, and she gradually tilts to either side. By moving the mouse, the player can move Petunia left or right to reorient herself. If Petunia tilts to either side too much, she will end up eaten by a shark.
The objective of the game is to keep Petunia balanced for as long as possible.

Trivia
- Going Overboard is one of the Happy Tree Friends Arcade games remade from Christian Gull's Flash games. In this case, this game was remade from Petunia Balance, which shares the same gameplay, setting, and characters. Petunia's death is even reused from Petunia Balance, complete with the same "tailless" animation error.
- Compared to Petunia Balance, aside from the more stable game engine and different background and UI:
- There are no timer and "Best" record in Going Overboard.
- Petunia balances on a lifesaver in Going Overboard instead of an upscaled rubber ducky (to represent swimming tube). She is also given animation in Going Overboard instead of remaining static.
- Russell is seen balancing on a piece of wood in Going Overboard instead of floating dead in the water. The graphical error where part of his pants is the same color as his fur in Petunia Balance is absent in Going Overboard.
- Cro-Marmot faces left in Going Overboard instead of right.
- The seawater is blue in Going Overboard instead of red from blood.
- Going Overboard has background music.
- The death sound clip in Going Overboard sounds clearer compared to the compressed audio used in Petunia Balance.
- Petunia's death animation is a sped-up version of her death in the "Swim" option in Petunia's Summer Smoochie. The accompanying audio is also sped-up as well as modified to follow the animation, though Petunia's whimpering sound before the shark snaps her body is cut off compared to Petunia Balance.
