How to Play Drink the Ocean

Start on a blocky beach with a straw and an ocean to drain. Sip at the shoreline, turn your haul into salt, and trade it for better gear. Watch the sea level to see what your next trip might uncover.

  1. Sip the ocean

    Walk to the shore and aim your straw at the water. When the crosshair turns green, left-click to take a sip. On a touchscreen, hold DRINK. The belly meter shows how much water you can still carry.

  2. Turn water into salt

    When your belly fills, follow the game’s arrow to the PRESS and stand beneath it. The press empties your belly and gives you salt to spend at the blue SHOP pad.

  3. Upgrade and dive deeper

    Buy more belly capacity to make fewer trips to the press. Work toward extra straws, the mouth vacuum and the pocket whirlpool. As the sea drops, you can uncover a shipwreck, a whale skeleton and a sunken city.

Frequently asked questions

Is Drink the Ocean free to play online?

Yes. You can start the Playgama version for free in your web browser without downloading a game app. Playgama may show an ad before the game begins.

What is the goal of Drink the Ocean?

The goal is to lower the sea until you can reach the plug on the ocean floor. The Ocean Drunk meter tracks your progress, and the falling waterline exposes new parts of the map.

What should I upgrade first?

Start with belly capacity if you spend more time walking to the press than drinking. It lets you carry more seawater on each trip. Once your trips feel efficient, put salt toward new tools.

What happens when you drain the ocean?

Reach the plug and pull it to begin a new ocean. The Playgama version lists cola, lemonade, slime and lava among the seas you can unlock.

Can I play Drink the Ocean on my phone?

Yes. Use the on-screen joystick, drag to look around and hold DRINK when you aim at the water. Turn your phone sideways for a wider view of the game.

What if the game does not load?

Give the player time to load, and close the opening ad if one appears. If you still cannot start, use Open on Playgama below the player to try the game directly.
