Play 1–4 Player Co-op on Mana (Desktop Browser)
The Mana edition runs a shared 1–4 player first-person ocean session in desktop browsers (keyboard and mouse). Every teammate’s straw lowers the same global waterline while players sell uncovered seabed treasures for stronger whirlpool gear.
- Platform: Desktop computer browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Firefox with WebGL/WebGPU acceleration; keyboard & mouse required).
- Party size: 1 to 4 players lowering the sea together in real time.
- Fastest split: Keep 2–3 players sipping continuously at the waterline while 1 runner hauls exposed shipwreck treasures to the shop.
Desktop keyboard, mouse & mobile touch controls
Mastering two shortcuts immediately doubles your early Salt rate: hold Left Click (or the mobile DRINK button) continuously at the shoreline, and hit T the instant your belly hits 100% capacity instead of walking uphill back to the island Press.

Common questions
Why does the mouse cursor disappear when I click inside Drink the Ocean?
First-person WebGL games use browser Pointer Lock so moving your mouse rotates the 3D camera continuously without hitting the edge of your monitor. Press Tab (or Esc) at any time to free the mouse cursor.
Does the browser game work on school or work Chromebooks and mobile phones?
Yes. The HTML5 build streams standard WebGL assets over HTTPS with landscape touch controls for Android and iOS phones plus keyboard-and-mouse support on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.
How do I fix lag or low FPS in fullscreen mode?
Enable Hardware Acceleration in Chrome or Edge settings (chrome://settings/system), close background video tabs, and press P inside the game to lower visual effects if you are running on integrated graphics.
How do I switch from solo HTML5 play to 4-player Co-op?
Select the Mana 1–4P Co-op Launch tab at the top of the game stage or open mana.gs/drink-the-ocean on a desktop computer browser with keyboard and mouse.
