How hard can it be to run a bar?
Now do it on the open ocean.

Choppy Waves is an online co-op party game for up to 4 players.
Mix drinks, serve impatient customers, and try not to slide off the deck when the next wave hits.

// The Pitch

The ocean doesn't care about your shift.

Every shift takes place on a wave-battered deck where the sea is your biggest troublemaker. As the water gets rougher, players, customers, drinks, and plans slide from side to side.

One moment you are carefully carrying the perfect order. The next, a wave sends the entire team drifting across the deck while everyone yells, panics, and tries to recover before the customers lose patience.

Read orders, grab the right ingredients, mix drinks correctly, deliver them fast, and keep service running while the ship refuses to stay still.

"Easy to understand, hard to keep under control."

// Key Features

What you're signing up for.

Built for quick rounds, instant mistakes, last-second saves, and the kind of co-op disaster that makes everyone want one more try.

F.01

Online Co-op for up to 4

Team up with friends and try to survive a shift at sea. Communication helps. Screaming also helps, sometimes.

F.02

Customers on a Moving Deck

Customers do not politely wait for calm weather. They slide, drift, and get in the way while you try to keep the orders moving.

F.03

Mix, Prep, Deliver

Grab ingredients, make the right drinks, and deliver them before time runs out. Simple tasks become messy fast when the waves kick in.

F.04

The Ocean Changes Everything

Rising waves shake the entire deck, pushing players and customers around and turning every delivery into a balancing act.

F.05

Fast, Funny, Replayable Chaos

Quick rounds, instant mistakes, last-second saves, and the kind of co-op disaster that makes everyone want one more try.

F.06

Easy to Learn, Hard to Tame

The goal is simple: serve the customers. The problem is the ship, the sea, your friends, and the drink currently sliding away from you.
