Flappy Diver
Read full descriptionHide full description
DIVE INTO AN OCEAN ADVENTURE! Flappy Diver is a retro pixel-art diving game from OceanEarth Travels. Tap to swim, watch your air, clean up the ocean, and explore real dive sites from Bali. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER One-tap controls: tap to swim up, let go to sink. Every stroke costs air and every bump costs more, so finding the rhythm is everything. When your air runs low, follow the line up and hold your safety stop, just like a real diver. DIVE FROM REEF TO ABYSS One continuous dive takes you from a bright coral reef into open water, past a sunken shipwreck and down into the dark abyss, where only your torch lights the way. Ride the currents, dodge stinging jellyfish and hunting sharks, and swim alongside turtles and manta rays. EXPLORE REAL BALI DIVE SITES Dive five famous Bali sites, each with its own challenge: the USAT Liberty wreck, Temple Point, Manta Point, the Tulamben Drop Off and Crystal Bay, home of the mola-mola. Complete objectives to earn up to three stars per site, and climb each site's own leaderboard. CLEAN THE OCEAN, BUILD YOUR KIT Plastic bottles and bags you collect are recycled into materials. Use them to upgrade real dive gear: tank, regulator, wetsuit, fins, torch and dive computer. Every upgrade shows exactly what it changes, and some sites need the right gear before you can dive them. THREE WAYS TO DIVE ⢠Ranked Dive: take your own gear and climb the global leaderboard ⢠Today's Dive: one new twist every day, the same for every player in the world ⢠Dive Sites: real places, objectives, stars and site leaderboards FEATURES: ⢠Simple one-tap controls ⢠Four underwater zones with their own creatures and dangers ⢠5 real Bali dive sites with objectives and stars ⢠6 gear slots to upgrade with recycled materials ⢠7 power-ups to discover ⢠Global, daily and dive site leaderboards ⢠Sign in with Apple or Google to keep your progress across devices ⢠Retro pixel-art graphics ⢠No ads, no in-app purchases, ever OCEAN CONSERVATION AT HEART Every piece of plastic you pick up counts toward your next piece of gear. Made by divers at OceanEarth Travels, with gear drawn the way it really looks and sites based on real dive spots. PERFECT FOR: ⢠Quick dives during a break, or longer sessions chasing stars ⢠Divers and anyone who loves the ocean ⢠Fans of one-tap arcade and endless runner games ⢠Players who like simple controls with real depth
Dippy Sub

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?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flappy Diver at none against Dippy Sub's shown. Dippy Sub's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
