SOAKED

Coco the capybara just wanted a hot spring. Instead his backpack wakes up: H.O.S.E., a deadpan talking water pack, and Isla Chillo is covered in purple goop. Spray the town clean, hover up the lighthouse, and find the secret course where the pack switches itself off.

Full playthrough: the plaza, the lighthouse secret and the Sludge Daddy fight. Real gameplay with the game's own music and sound.

Meet H.O.S.E.

The Hydro-Overdrive Spray Engine talks in blue balloons from the little screen on Coco's back. Coco is unimpressed.

COCOIsla Chillo. No emails. No alarms. Just me... and a hot spring.

H.O.S.E.I am H.O.S.E. You may call me H.O.S.E.

COCOThat's the same thing, bro.

Spray, hover, climb

Hold R to spray: the stream aims itself at goop and blobs. In the air, hold R and the jets hold you up. Wade into the fountain or the sea to refill. Clean all six puddles and a Sun Shard appears on top of the fountain.

Isla Chillo

A port town in the Delfino tradition: pastel townhouses with shutters, flower boxes, balconies and barrel-tile roofs, a stone fountain under strings of bunting, a balustraded waterfront, and a sea that glints in the sun.

The islanders

Walk up to anyone and press B to talk. They watch you as you pass, nod while they talk, and have something new to say as the story moves on.

"Thirty years at sea and I've never seen the water this purple."

Boss: Sludge Daddy

Something big crawled up on the east beach. He spits goop puddles and stomps after you. When he opens wide, hose his mouth until he bloats and topples over, then belly-flop his belly. Three times.

Coco spraying water into the giant purple goop boss's open mouth — Fill him up

The boss on his back with Coco on his belly — Then flatten him

The boss among goop puddles he spat across the beach — Mind the puddles

The secret course

At the top of the lighthouse is a portal. Inside, H.O.S.E. switches itself off "out of tradition" and it's pure platforming: rising blocks, a spinning sweeper bar, sliding platforms, a checkpoint, blocks that drop away, then the shard.

Rounded checker blocks floating in a pink dusk sky — Blocks in the void

Coco, animated with attitude

Coco is a single Blender-built model of about 27,000 triangles on an 18-bone skeleton, with a painted texture (fur grain, a hibiscus-print shirt), real fingers and toes, and the pack modelled on. His animation is driven live from the controls and none of it is stock: he waddles, his head stays level when he runs, he plants a paw on his hip to spray, and if you leave him alone he leans back with his hands behind his head and eventually sits down.

Sunglasses on his head, flip-flops, zero urgency.

How it's made

GameCube look: 640x480 with anti-aliasing, real-time sun and soft shadows, ambient occlusion baked into the vertex colors, 256px painted textures, glossy highlights, bloom and color grading.
The island and Coco are built in Blender from code: a modular townhouse kit, turned stonework, lamps, planters, palms, the lighthouse. About 200,000 triangles in the town.
The sea is its own shader: rolling waves, two panning ripple layers, sky reflection that grows toward the horizon, and sun glints the bloom turns into sparkles.
All the music is synthesized in-game: a calypso steel-drum theme for the town and an a cappella theme for the secret course.
The whole slice is played start to finish by an autopilot test, which also recorded the video above.
