demo · v0.1 · spring 2026

row. balance.
deliver. repeat.
ship happens.

a clumsy, physics-driven co-op party game about penguins shipping cargo across a very angry ocean. miscommunication encouraged.

play the demo learn how to lose with friends

free. takes two minutes. requires three friends you trust.

what's in the box

four ways to ruin a friendship.

the demo has the rowing, the balancing, and the deliveries. the rest is on the way.

in the demo

row like you mean it

no rudder, no steering wheel. just penguins, oars, and a lot of shouting about port vs starboard.

in the demo

physics is the antagonist

real buoyancy. real waves. real consequences. the boat tilts, the crates slide, the friendship strains.

planned

the crate is bigger than you

pick up large cargo and your screen goes dark. your friends become your eyes. arguments are a feature.

planned

punch a crocodile

yank your oar out of the water and swing. the croc gets airborne. you feel powerful for 0.4 seconds.
