A simulation of diving.

Goal: Break the ice to get beneath the surface.

In my testing, the game may have issues with objects that have shader effects on them in Chrome, but this only happens to me AFAIK. Everything should work as intended!

To open the source, you will need Construct 2. It should open in Free Edition AFAIK. Enjoy seeing my awful code :P

Genres: simulation

Tools: Construct

This is awesome! well done!

lucienpro27 Apr 2014, 09:56

Nicely done but I don't see how it relates to the theme...

Keehan1227 Apr 2014, 10:19

Agreed, I don't see how it related to the theme. But It's different.... ..and I like it! The gameplay was nice :)

Hinds27 Apr 2014, 14:33

Doesn't relate to the theme much, but otherwise well done. Good stuff

mrexcessive27 Apr 2014, 19:57

Haha, that's amazing... I like the control scheme... always a surprise. Nice splat and scored 29million on second attempt

pattb01127 Apr 2014, 20:21

I found this hilarious! I laughed out loud when i splatted. I'm not great at it. But it's funny, quirky, original and has a nice simplistic and retro theme to it. Although it would be nice if it was more linked to the theme. I still love it though!

ninjabit27 Apr 2014, 20:26

Oof! The audio and mini game aspect is great!

wilpel123427 Apr 2014, 21:12

I like IT!

bensimms27 Apr 2014, 21:31

HAHAHA Brilliant! Fantastic graphics, crazy concept and good fun!

Zolkren27 Apr 2014, 21:39

Good game, man.

sfdnetwork27 Apr 2014, 21:41

I never got beneath the surface, but the game has a nice concept. Good use of sound effects as-well, really adds to the experience.

liqwidice27 Apr 2014, 22:05

Pretty fun actually :)

DrMelon28 Apr 2014, 01:23

I love this entry! Managed to break the ice with the help of a burger-clicking friend!

mihaivdev28 Apr 2014, 08:42

Love it! Favourite submission so far. Absolutely Hilarious!

oatsbarley28 Apr 2014, 11:17

I'd say it fits with the theme quite well, being that the goal is to get beneath the surface of the ice.

This is hilarious, and quite fun!

Zolkren28 Apr 2014, 11:32

Fun and a good game.

recursor29 Apr 2014, 15:04

This little guy has a death wish I guess. I liked the presentation and humor of it. The first time I didn't mash the spacebar enough and just exploded. That amused me quite a bit. Anyway, nice job for the 12 hours you spent on it.

Reinkout30 Apr 2014, 08:15

Had to show my love for your freaky diving game! :)

philip_sinclair30 Apr 2014, 08:46

Great game. really fresh key pressing panic. and nicely polished graphics and animation!

lukepilgrim30 Apr 2014, 08:52

that was really funny xD didn't expect this coming

GarethIW30 Apr 2014, 09:10

A thoroughly accurate simulation of diving, very nice!

fullmontis30 Apr 2014, 09:15

That was Hysterical! I loved it!

spotco30 Apr 2014, 09:39

cageinabird30 Apr 2014, 09:56

I laughed from start to finish. :D

Diptoman30 Apr 2014, 11:15

I had no idea what was going on and never broke the surface, but it was awesome xD
Frantic and hysterical.

tomvert30 Apr 2014, 11:38

Haha love the jury

bebopbraunbaer30 Apr 2014, 11:59

hahaha! awesome!

Catman30 Apr 2014, 20:48

The first time, I exploded on the trampuline, and it was already fun!

I then found myself in the air and... then it got REALLY fun. :D

Great job!

aaronjbaptiste30 Apr 2014, 21:01

Well polished, good sound effects, fun!

Dreii1 May 2014, 05:01

LMAO this is the funniest game ive played 5 stars humor. nice graphical effects as well!

flavio1 May 2014, 11:21

LOL :)

PapyGaragos1 May 2014, 17:05

Haha nice game, I like that one a lot.

I couldn't break the ice yet, but i am still trying

Detective Pixel1 May 2014, 18:18

Not bad. It made me smile.

SecondDimension1 May 2014, 18:38

Another awesome C2 entry, this made me smile. Great fun!

MSaul1 May 2014, 18:40

splash !

anbreizh1 May 2014, 19:51

Very fun, but soooo hard. Is it supposed to be two a player game ?

BoaHeck_ArtGent1 May 2014, 21:01

I'm seeing stars, Loads in the rating section :P

Jools641 May 2014, 22:31

Great game, very funny. I couldn't break through the ice though, much to my disappointment. I came close but not quite there. I'm gonna blame it on being on a rubbish laptop track pad and sitting in a bad position. I refuse to believe it's because I suck. ;)

SonnyBone1 May 2014, 23:51

HAMBURGERS? I slammed my comet-speed corpse into the frozen tundra far too many times to count. I have lost. You have defeated me. THERE BETTER BE A YEARLY INSTALLMENT AND DLC!!!!

ohsqueezy2 May 2014, 02:57

Effectively conveys the sensation of your body exploding

Kerdelos2 May 2014, 14:02

Cool game but it seems the sound are not synced.

tripleVisionGames2 May 2014, 22:01

AWESOME. At first it sounded like the wizards dieing in Chaos and then I laughed out loud at my landing.

ArcturusDeluxe2 May 2014, 23:17

I love the ridiculously epic dive. Surprisingly tricky game, my head can't get around pressing keys and clicking on the things at the same time, but its fun!
