Gameplay

Sea Sweeper is a game where you pilot a small boat to help clean up the nearby polluted waters. Use your boat's crane to reach down and grab all of the large pieces of trash and make the oceans pristine again! The game also has passive multiplayer where you can see other players in the world with their own boats attempting to clean up the ocean. Make sure if you see another player that you say Ahoy!

The game was created for Code for a Cause with the theme "Keep Moving Forward!". The emphasis on cleaning up the ocean and driving your boat around were designed to meet this theme and charity focused cause of the game jam.

Multiplayer

Sea Sweeper uses a persistent backend server (hosted by Playroom) so all players can connect to a common game world and explore together. There is nothing special you need to do to play online, just simply play the web version of the game and you will automatically be playing in a multiplayer environment. The purpose of multiplayer is more to have fun in a common shared environment and goof around on boats together.
