One straw against the entire sea

Every gulp drops the global sea level from sunlit coastal reefs past a barnacled shipwreck and a giant whale skeleton all the way to the abyssal plug on the ocean floor .

Two free browser editions under one name (Solo HTML5 & 1–4P Desktop Co-op)

Players searching for Drink the Ocean look for either the instant HTML5 blocky simulator by Pinidi Studio (playable right above on PC, Android, and iOS) or the 1–4 player desktop browser Co-op game on Mana (mana.gs/drink-the-ocean). Both run free in a browser with zero installer downloads.

Salt Press & Seabed Treasure upgrade loops

In the HTML5 simulator, you drink seawater until your belly fills, step under the PRESS to squeeze water into Salt, and buy Bigger Belly, Extra Straws, a Mouth Vacuum, and a Pocket Whirlpool at the blue SHOP pad. On Mana, receding water exposes seabed treasures you haul and sell to buy stronger whirlpool straws.

Press T to teleport home and slash turnaround waste

Once the waterline retreats down the continental shelf, walking back to the island Press eats more time than actual drinking. Pressing T warps you straight back to the home island so your Salt-per-minute stays high.

Pull the Ocean Plug to start Cola, Lemonade, Slime & Lava oceans

Draining 100% of the starter sea exposes a giant plug at the bottom. Pulling the plug resets the basin with a stronger liquid ocean of your choice: Cola, Lemonade, Slime, or Lava, paired with Sky Duck boons (E key) and tracked achievements.

Ocean Drain & Straw Upgrade ROI Calculator

Pick your edition, current straw tier, belly/tank capacity, and ocean multiplier to find your exact cycle bottleneck (sip-bound vs press-trip-bound) and drain times across all five depth landmarks.

Sip-bound cycle (11.3s drinking vs 6.5s press trip). Your belly takes long enough to fill that stronger suction (Extra Straw Bundle (28 L/s)) directly multiplies drain speed.

Common questions

Where can I play Drink the Ocean for free right now?

You can play two free browser versions immediately with zero downloads. Click Play in Browser (HTML5) in the stage at the top of this page (or open Play Online) to run the solo blocky first-person simulator on desktop, Android, or iOS. If you want 1–4 player multiplayer on a computer, launch the desktop browser edition at mana.gs/drink-the-ocean.

Is Drink the Ocean on Steam or does it require a PC download?

No local installer or Steam client is required. Both active versions of Drink the Ocean are built natively for web browsers: Mana hosts the 1–4 player desktop browser Co-op game at mana.gs/drink-the-ocean, and Playgama hosts the solo WebGL simulator for PC and mobile browsers. Read our full breakdown on Mana vs Playgama vs Steam.

How do you play Drink the Ocean and earn upgrades?

Walk down to the shoreline and hold Left Click (or hold the DRINK button on mobile) to sip seawater through your straw. Once your belly reaches capacity, step under the PRESS (press T to teleport straight home) to squeeze the water into Salt, then stand on the blue SHOP pad to buy a Bigger Belly, Extra Straws, a Mouth Vacuum, or a Pocket Whirlpool. In Mana Co-op, lowering the sea exposes seabed treasures that your party collects and sells for stronger straws.

What is at the bottom of Drink the Ocean?

As the water level drops, four major underwater secrets emerge in sequence: a sunken Shipwreck on the upper shelf, a giant Whale Skeleton in the mid-pelagic basin, a Sunken City in the deep trench, and finally the Ocean Plug at the very bottom. Pulling the plug lets you refill the basin with a stronger new ocean: Cola, Lemonade, Slime, or Lava. See Depths & Treasures for every milestone.

Should I upgrade Bigger Belly or Extra Straws first?

Compare how many seconds it takes to fill your belly against the ~6.5 seconds spent pressing T, running the Press, and returning to the water. When filling takes longer than ~10 seconds, suction tools (Extra Straws, Mouth Vacuum, Pocket Whirlpool) give the highest Salt-per-minute jump. When your belly fills in under 5 seconds, you are trip-bound and Bigger Belly delivers far higher ROI. Test your exact numbers in the Upgrade ROI Calculator above.

Can I play Drink the Ocean Co-op on a phone or tablet?

The 1–4 player Co-op edition on Mana is built specifically for desktop computer browsers using keyboard and mouse; opening Mana on a phone displays a desktop-only prompt. On Android phones, iPhones, and iPads, play the HTML5 solo edition in our Play Online stage using touch controls and the hold-to-drink button.
