A simple and poignant concept. A retro and detailed design. Rich and exciting gameplay. Dave the Diver condenses many of the ingredients of success into a single game. And the success is immediate. Released on June 28, the game developed by Mintorocket has already exceeded one million copies sold. To the point of appearing in the top 10 of the best sellers of the moment on the online sales platform for Steam video games. Only available on PC, the game also obtains the excellent score of 10/10 on Steam.
The independent video game, which is strewn with international licenses to attract as many people as possible, enjoys great popularity on the Twitch streaming platform. Driven by major French content creators like Kamet0 or Locklear, and international ones like MixiGaming or Call Me Kevin, Dave the Diver quickly established itself as an essential summer reference.
In Dave the Diver, or Dave le Plongeur in French, players embody Dave, a diver who explores submarines in search of fish that will be served as sushi to the customer of his restaurant. A gameplay that invites farming, that is to say the intensive harvesting of resources. Featuring a retro design with its pixel art aesthetic, the game oscillates between underwater exploration and restaurant management. A complete experience that combines wacky characters, memorable fishing with more than 200 species of fish available and fun mini-games. Warmly acclaimed by critics, the game costs 19.99 euros on Steam. The developers are currently working on a Nintendo Switch version.
