We're having a barbecue down here. Why don't you come join us?


Our teams' entry into this round of Ludum Dare's game jam is called Dumb Ways To Dive. We've tried to make a more humorous approach to the competition this time, especially since we had trouble coping with the theme. Your goal is to rescue your friend with a peculiar name, who has dived to the bottom of a lake with no chance of getting back up. However, be aware of what is lurking in the depths!

We've tried to add as many details and gimmicks to graphics, dialogue, characters and sound as we could possibly fit in - resulting in the last few hours being extremely stressful because we were still encountering game-breaking bugs, especially with our WebGL version.

We hope you enjoy our game as much as we enjoyed making it - even though we may not have picked the most original idea for the given theme.

Thank you for playing!
