## What is Dinky Diver?

Guide a tiny brass-helmeted diver through winding underwater caves. Collect air, read the changing current, and learn the route with every retry.

STEER THROUGH THE CAVES
Tap or hold the upper half of the water to rise, or the lower half to dive. Release to drift. Choose the upper or lower passage at a branch, stay clear of rock, and avoid jellyfish and lionfish. Air rings refill your supply in the riskier lower lane.

READ THE WATER
The current changes as you travel through each descent. The HUD shows which way it is pulling and warns before it reverses. Watch the water, adjust your swim, and give that next gap another try.

TRY AGAIN, GO DEEPER
Replay the same route to learn its turns, or choose a fresh route. Complete a descent to refill your air and continue deeper. Descents gradually grow longer. Easy, Medium and Hard change the challenge while keeping steering and scroll speed consistent.

MAKE IT YOUR DIVE
Save a separate best distance for each difficulty on this device. Review recent dives and keepsakes in your local dive book, choose from four included diver styles, and adjust individual sounds, haptics and the Overboard arrival animation. Pause whenever you need a break.

LEARN AND SHARE
Try the interactive four-part guide. Share an illustrated scorecard or a route code for someone else to try. Route codes require a compatible game version.

Original pixel art, short retries, and a whole sea below. Play offline, with no ads, in-app purchases or account to create.
