About

Dippy Sub

Read full description

Hold to dive. Release to rise. That is all it takes to start, but mastering Dippy Sub's momentum is another story. Guide your submarine through chains of underwater mines in a fast, one-touch arcade challenge. Every gate is reachable. The question is whether you can read the gap, commit to the dive, and level out before the ocean floor or surface ends the run. SKIM DANGER, BUILD COMBOS Pass close to mine tips without touching them to earn near-miss bonuses. Chain risky moves together and watch the points multiply. MASTER BALLAST PHYSICS Your submarine carries momentum. Holding fills the ballast and sends you down; releasing purges it and brings you back up. Smooth timing beats frantic tapping. STAY BELOW THE SURFACE Break the surface and enemy missiles lock on. Dive back to safety before the strike lands, and keep clear of the unforgiving sea floor. CHASE YOUR NEXT RECORD Each run becomes faster and tighter. Track clean and assisted scores, review your score history, and return for one more attempt. MAKE THE CAPTAIN YOURS Create multiple player profiles, customize avatars, and keep each captain's records separate. WATCH AUTO-DRIVE Activate auto-drive to see the submarine navigate on its own. Auto-drive scores are not saved, so the real record still belongs to you. FEATURES - Simple hold-and-release controls - Momentum-based buoyancy and ballast physics - Procedurally arranged, reachable mine gates - Near-miss combos and score multipliers - Dynamic difficulty that builds throughout each run - Custom player profiles, avatars, and score history - Optional rewarded continue after eligible runs How deep can you go?
