Press release:
5 JULY 2024.
The Netherlands-based indie games developer Lente (solo dev) are today very happy and proud to announce that they have just released a graphics update and a brand-new demo for their upcoming cozy clean-up game “Spilled!” (the said demo and graphics update is available right now for PC via Steam).

“Spilled!” is a short, relaxing and satisfying cozy game in which you clean up oil spills with a boat. Recycle, earn coins, upgrade your boat, repeat! Explore and clean up new areas with more waste and new challenges!

Lente began developing “Spilled!” at the end of 2022, after leaving school to pursue her dream of living on a small boat, and continuing the maritime lifestyle she grew up with. Although progress was slow initially, the game began to gain traction. In early 2024, Lente’s Kickstarter campaign was a huge success, raising 31,600 euros—316% of her original 10,000 euro goal.

With the funds, Lente hired a talented Tech Artist who helped her give Spilled! a significant graphics upgrade. Together, they also created a new free demo for everyone to enjoy.

Recently, Spilled! was featured in the Wholesome Direct, in the midst of Summer Game Fest. This is where Lente announced the new look and demo of Spilled! The game has since amassed over 39,000 Steam wishlists, marking its growing popularity among gamers.

About Spilled!
Spilled! is a short, relaxing and satisfying cozy game in which you clean up oil spills with a boat. Recycle, earn coins, upgrade your boat, repeat! Explore and clean up new areas with more waste and new challenges!

Key Features:
Short but satisfying – Move through 8 areas, each bigger in size and with more waste. No rush, take as long as you want. Spilled! is a short yet cozy game that you can finish in 1 hour, but you can use the level select to go back to any area if you just want to relax!

Recycle & earn coins – Clean up a whole area to move on to the next! The water gets clearer the more you recycle, revealing underwater life that is different for each area!

Upgrade your boat – Prepare for the next area: tackle bigger oil spills with a bigger collector, hold more oil with an upgraded tank and cover larger distances with upgraded speed!

Find & rescue animals – Each area has 2 different animals to find and rescue, for a total of 16! See which ones you’ve already saved in the options menu. Or which ones you’ve missed!

Face new challenges – Each area has a new challenge to overcome! Push plastic to the recycling centre, wash oil off of the land, help retrieve lost items to other boats, put out wildfires, go magnet fishing and more currently in development!

Explore new biomes – While cleaning up the environment, you move through 4 biomes: grass, rock, sand and snow!
