Wee Boats
A downloadable game
Still in Development! Aiming for a mid 2025 release!
A collaboration between James Poole, Laura Ryder and Brendan Hewson
A small game about taking it slow.
Wee Boats is a short and gentle online game — a moment to catch your breath and go boating on a miniature scale.
Explore a flooded landscape with friends in online multiplayer. Cruise together, honk at your discoveries, and log them all in your very own Ship’s Logbook. There are plenty of surprises and secrets out there for you to stumble across on your journey!
Sailing solo? That’s grand too — the full experience can be enjoyed offline, on your own and at your own pace.
Keep an eye out for messages in bottles. Other players can leave notes behind for future voyagers — and if you're feeling thoughtful, you might drop one into the ocean yourself!
This is a short experience, about 20–30 minutes long. It’s been a proper little passion project, bubbling away through 2023 and 2024, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Got to play this at MCM London yesterday and it was such a good concept. it's nice to see games that just focus on being laid back and just about exploring maps
Played this at A Maze 2025 and cannot wait to play it fully with the custom boat controller I build 🛞🛥️
Steering Wheel Game Jam incoming! :D
