Dive Dave is a frivolous little springboard diving arcade game. Guide Dave off the board, time the jump, tuck and spin through the goal number of flips. Stick a clean vertical entry to please the judges. Build a streak, chase a higher score. Two ways to play: Arcade - endless, ever-changing dives, just for the fun of it. Challenge - climb steadily tougher dives, and aim to achieve a new hight score. Free. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just Dave, a diving board, and the pool. Hand drawn and animated by Drawvid :)
