In the theme of the moment — what with all that Olympic jazz going down — it only seemed fitting to play a nice athletic game.
High Dive Hero is, as the name suggests, a game about diving from high places. It's simple as sin. Control the tumbles and grabs of your diver whilst trying to make the best re-entry.
The joy is in the game's brevity, and your gosh darned competetive nature.
One round takes mere minutes, but beating your friend's high score could take an hour.
There are a surprising number of nuances and little tricks to master, from controlling the power of your jumps to managing your flips. Each component helps secure those extra few points.
While definitely not astounding in any way, High Dive Hero is an excellent distraction from any work you might have to do.
