Drink the Ocean Upgrades: What to Buy First
A bigger belly is a good first upgrade if you fill it quickly and spend most of the cycle walking. Once a full trip has you standing at the shore for a long time, consider putting your next batch of salt toward a better drinking tool.
Buy belly capacity when walking eats up the run
Think of a run as three parts: drinking, carrying water back, and pressing it into salt. Belly capacity helps the carry part. A larger load gives you more water to press each time you make the round trip.
Compare two runs from roughly the same shoreline spot. If the belly meter fills after a brief stop but you spend much longer getting back to the press, capacity addresses the problem you can actually see.
Save for tools when filling up takes longer
Playgama’s version lists extra straws, a mouth vacuum, and a pocket whirlpool. Use the blue SHOP pad to check what you can buy and the tool slots to see what you have unlocked. On desktop, use the 1–3 keys to switch available tools. On a phone, tap a tool slot.
After you buy a tool, try it at the shore before returning to the shop. Watch how quickly the belly meter fills and how far you can stand from the current waterline while the game lets you drink.
Recheck the route as the waterline moves
A route that felt short near the start can feel different once the sea retreats. Find a spot where you can still aim at the water and take a direct route to the press. Make a full run from that spot before deciding whether your next purchase should be capacity or a tool.
