Click inside the game first
Keyboard input needs to reach the embedded game. If movement keys seem unresponsive, click inside the game area and follow any start or focus prompt. Use the game's mouse-release shortcut when you want to return to a guide or another browser control.
A control reference helps with input; the how-to-play guide explains what to do with the water and salt you collect.
Phone and tablet controls
Use the touch controls shown inside the game. Hold DRINK for drinking. The provider lists landscape orientation, so rotating your device can give the controls and scenery more room. The full-screen button below the homepage game is available where your browser supports it.
After buying a new tool
Switch to the relevant tool and read its in-game instructions. A newly purchased item may have a different input or effect. Our upgrade guide explains how to decide what to buy; the new oceans guide covers progression beyond the first sea.
If the game does not respond
Check that the game has finished loading and that your browser is supported. If the embed fails, the homepage includes a direct Playgama link. Avoid clearing browser data as your first troubleshooting step because the game may use local storage for progress.
