MeowDiver sends a cat to clean up the sea
Xiuqi Zhang's free incremental game puts a cat in a home-made submarine: crank to dive, tilt to steer, sell the trash and build a better sub.
"A cat in a home-made submarine has decided to clean up the ocean, one haul at a time." In MeowDiver, released free on itch.io on 13 October, you crank to dive and tilt the Playdate to steer (the D-pad works too). Hover over trash and the intake pulls it in, then get back to the jetty before your air runs out.
Selling each haul to the recycling co-op pays for a four-ring workshop of upgrades (air, engine, intake and cargo) and unlocks extras like Chain Zap, Bubble Bomb and a Buddy Turret. Upgrades build rank, and rank opens four seas, "each worth ten times the last", down to The Abyss.
