You'll dive through a variety of deadly and exotic planets, fighting off the flora and fauna of each locale, while collecting valuable star stuff to further fund your adventures. Use your hard earned rewards to fly to more distant planets, as well as to acquire new outfits and special ability modifiers! Along the way you can compete online for the best dive or try to unlock rewards by completing tough challenges. Careful how deep you dive though... Who knows what slumbers within the planet's core? - PLANET DIVER FEATURES - - An extensive campaign made out of 3 planets, 9 biomes and 75 unique missions with a quirky story and challenges. - Carefully crafted, randomly generated chasms that make each dive unique! - An endless arcade mode for each planet that pushes the challenge to the limit. - All planets have their own special biomes, obstacles, enemies and bosses! - Fast paced gameplay where you need to avoid, brake and speed up like a pro! - Unique obstacles and enemies like bats that follow your every move, lava that slowly cuts off your escape or a... giant whale?! - A lot of terrifying boss fights that require fast reflexes and a sharp mind. - A vibrant setting with a fun, quirky story to explore in the depth of space! - A cool astro shop full of unlockables like diving suits, modifiers and music! - Competitive leaderboards for the score junkies out there! - Plenty of hidden easter eggs that can be found throughout the extensive planet surfaces you explore! - NEW: A customizable dive mode, where you adjust the generation of the chasm! - HOW DO I PLAY PLANET DIVER? - The goal's simple, dive down while collecting all the star stuff along the way! Along the way you'll need to take the offensive or defensive to survive... This game might be easy to learn, but it is hard to master! The faster you go, the higher the star stuff multiplier. There are 75 missions to explore, and each level pushes you to new limits with specific goals you need to accomplish. In your dives you collect star stuff, which is essential to your progress! You can spend it on outfits or modifiers that adjust your abilities! You can also spend them on star maps unlocking distant planets with new missions, obstacles, biomes and enemies!

But the controls are too unresponsive, on an iPad. I'm pretty sure they work better on an iPhone, because if you swipe your finger has less distance to travel.

Does the "grind" for coins and upgrades seem balanced? touchy85 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2015 1,616 1 38 #7 touchy85, Dec 1, 2015 It's a bit early to tell, but the prices for upgrades seem to be pretty high. jsrco Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Oct 15, 2009 2,134 1 38 Coordinator Seattle https://www.Fatthunder.com #8 jsrco, Dec 1, 2015 This game does not seem as polished as it looks in the screens. There is a lot to unlock and the currency seems pretty generous. No IAP currency either. But man the controls and gameplay and clashing graphics just make me hit my head into the wall. Literally in game and reality. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 704 113 #9 anthony78, Dec 1, 2015 Last edited: Dec 1, 2015 Thanks. It does look like fun and I'll probably bite. I keep an open mind with IAPs. But there seems to be a nasty trend lately of developing games as F2P but charging a price up front for a few weeks before going full freemium. That's a practice that I don't like to support. Hopefully, that's not the case here. H4nd0fg0d Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2010 1,905 0 36 #10 H4nd0fg0d, Dec 1, 2015 Think I'll steer clear of this one. Looks ominously weak. Reminder to all, jmo. Hope I'm wrong but don't care for primo-freemo. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #11 NOEN, Dec 1, 2015 I dunno. I might have to bite on this one. It looks like my kind of game. I'll give it a shot and leave some quick imps a little later. (Playing Aralon 2 right now.)

Played a few levels and deleted it. Not gonna say more than what's already been said in the thread. esty8nine Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2013 1,044 0 0 #15 esty8nine, Dec 1, 2015 Ok so it seems fun so far but I need to ask for a few easy things. A way to skip the story in the beginning of level you already completed And the tap controls aren't reliable, I wish they were more responsive or sensitive and can't seem to move back and forth fast and reliably especially since control in a game like this is everything! But I will be playing more tonight! Based Xatu Well-Known Member Aug 27, 2013 1,937 0 0 #16 Based Xatu, Dec 1, 2015 Why would you tease us like that? H4nd0fg0d Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2010 1,905 0 36 #17 H4nd0fg0d, Dec 2, 2015 I'll trust that. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #18 NOEN, Dec 2, 2015 I'm still on the fence on this one right now. I love the music, love the pixel art, love the theme/setting of the game, it's got plenty of upgrades and unlockables (which is my favorite thing in games), it's just the controls. They work fine for me (iPhone 6), but it just makes the game feel so.....I dunno, mechanical? It would be SO much better if it controlled like a shmup game where you could hold your finger on the screen at all times to move your character or even a control pad. I mean, there's times where you have to move all the way across the cave and instead of moving your finger or doing one long swipe, it's a really quick swipe swipe swipe swipe. (If that makes sense) Think of it as like an endless runner where you have to swipe across the 3 lanes, except there are like 6-8 lanes. It's a lot of swiping. That's my only issue right now and it's a BIG issue. Everything else so far is great, so I can't really recommend it right now in this state. I'll keep at it and see if I get used to the swipe controls or if I figure something else out. I'll update my impressions if anything changes and if the swiping stuff I mentioned doesn't bother you, then by all means, buy the game. The rest is pretty good so far. FYI, I'm not sure if I said the word "swipe" enough in my impressions so, swipe swipe swipedy swipe. esty8nine Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2013 1,044 0 0 #19 esty8nine, Dec 2, 2015 Lmao ^ completely agree that's my only issue with the game, the controls ! Please please fix. Anyone know if computer controls are any better ? evanac Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2011 49 0 0 Senior Producer http://www.laughingjackal.co.uk #20 evanac, Dec 2, 2015 I think the controls work well. You're effectively moving between tracks which enables a good deal of precision IMHO. You can make quite tiny taps without issue, so I'm certainly not struggling. I'm also enjoying the presentation and upbeat atmosphere of the game. About an hour in and enjoying myself so far. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
