Planet Diver is about an adventurous daredevil tackling her newest obsession: Wing suit diving. With her close robotic companion Buddy she'll travel across space to seek out the most dangerous planets and their respective chasms to dive in. 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?

Reviews
Lots of problems bury the potential.
Bernardo Espanol
So many problems here. Mostly the game just not fun because of poor game design. The writing is its saving grace, but the gameplay feels like the devs never bothered to playTest this at all. The dodge mechanic feels broken at times. At times tapping to move left or right activates a dash that will get you hurt. Enemies seem to randomly hang around at random distances from you making trying to kill them next to impossible sometimes before they land a cheap hit. At high speeds enemies can become invisible thanks to the horrible color pallet choices. Lava sometimes comes in so fast it's unavoidable. The first boss fight for me is so poorly done that it's a game breaker for me. Trying to learn the bosses timing for its attacks, when to doge and when to attack seem impossible since its position on screen after dashing seems randomized. Sometimes it's at the far bottom of the screen, others it is close enough for a sprawl attack. It sometimes cheap shots you with a web laser combo that feels cheap and broken. Having many additional enemies on screen spitting spider webs at you while doing the boss fight breaks the mechanics and the encounter. Finally I figured out that I had to go through its legs and I killed it, but at that point I was burnt out of the game. Later worlds have promise, but are still marred by bad design choices. Finally the in app purchases and pace of earning gold in game give me the game is going Freemium soon.
Really cool game!

I have to say that this game is amazing! Both visual and game play is fantastic! It needs a little bit of learning curve, over all a really challenging but fun game to play!!
Sound isn't working for me.

UPDATE: I went into Arcade mode, and somehow that fixed the music. Now I have music (but only while diving, not sure if there's supposed to be any in the menus). Unfortunately, I still don't have sound effects for some reason. [Before Update] I can't seem to get sound fx, music, any audio at all from this app. Any help would be appreciated. It'd be a real shame if I had to play without sound, which so far makes all the music unlockables pretty pointless.
