About Otter Cove

Otter Cove is a cozy idle clicker game starring a very happy sea otter. Tap the otter and shells pop out with a bouncy squish and a soft little sound. Spend your shells on Stronger Paws to make every tap worth more, or invite friends to your cove: otter pups, a shell boat, a kelp forest, pearl clams, a lighthouse, a coral reef, a friendly whale, a treasure ship and finally a whole shell palace. Every friend you add appears in the cove scene and starts collecting shells for you every second.

It is an idle game, so the cove keeps working when you step away. Come back later and a welcome-back note shows how many shells your friends gathered, for up to eight hours. Owning 10, 25, 50, 100 and more of a friend doubles its output each time, so there is always a next goal a few purchases away.

Little surprises keep things lively. A golden bottle sometimes drifts across the water: tap it for a big haul of shells or a short shell frenzy that multiplies everything by five. A daily gift chest rewards you for coming back on consecutive days, and day seven includes a pearl.

When your cove is booming you can start a new cove. You keep your pearls, and each pearl gives +10% shells from taps and friends forever, so the next cove grows much faster. The game saves automatically on your device, works with one thumb on a phone, and has gentle ocean waves in the background that you can switch off with one tap.

How to play Otter Cove

1. Tap the otter (or anywhere in the cove) to collect shells.
2. Buy Stronger Paws to make each tap worth more.
3. Invite cove friends such as otter pups and shell boats. They collect shells every second, even while you are away.
4. Owning 10, 25, 50, 100 and more of a friend doubles its output.
5. Tap the golden bottle when it drifts by, and open the daily gift once a day.
6. When you have enough pearls waiting, start a new cove to keep them as a permanent bonus.

Tips and tricks

• Early on, alternate between Stronger Paws and Otter Pups – both pay back quickly.
• Look at the green bar under each friend: finishing a milestone doubles its output.
• Use ×10 or Max when you come back to a big pile of shells.
• A shell frenzy multiplies taps too, so tap fast while it lasts.
• Do not move to a new cove too early: the pearl count grows the longer a cove runs.
