Wee Boats
A downloadable game
A collaboration between James Poole, Laura Ryder and Brendan Hewson
A small game about taking it slow and honking a lot.
Wee Boats is a short online game. It is a moment to catch your breath and go boating on a miniature scale!
This is a Demo of the full game that is still in development. It would mean a lot if you Wishlist the game on Steam. It helps a lot for the visibility of the game to appease the Valve masters.
- What does the demo include?
- Online play with open servers!
- Offline play for when you want alone time!
- An ocean with select regions from the full game.
- You can be a boat! (A selection from the main game)
- You can kick a ball and kick it with friends!
- You can honk!
- You can put on a hat!
- You can make music!
- Optional boat chat (This can be turned off via settings).
- Leave messages in bottles for future sailors!
- About 15 - 30 mins of a pleasant time!
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!
Want a quiet moment at sea alone? We have you covered there 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
