Stupid smartness! Giving me spelling mistake for that![/QUOTE]
By 2 points! I still beat it first!:excited:
I beat both of you! [img]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j236/guilty00118/dive.jpg[/img]
And it doesn't have the # of flips added on!
It's not about the points, it's about who finishes first!

I got rid of the flips when calculating score. It was too confusing. Now it's just the sum of you dive score.
Who will be the first to a perfect 300 pts?? lol!
I need Silverlight? Pssssh.

what is wrong with that takes 5 min to install and it's not like it eats your memory

Because
1.) I don't need it.
and
2.) I don't feel like downloading it just to play something.
The fact that they decide to go with something that is less popular just hurts their visitor numbers.

Dude.. It's worth it. This game ROCKS!
"Let's learn how to jump off cliff's!".
there's no skill to this once you reach diving boards, it's just plain luck and that's where the game falls down. Needs more lift when jumping and more responsive mouse control.

Of course you got to have some skills. You have to land correctly on the board and you still have to dive straight into the water. You can also choose how far you want to go by landing close to the edge and moving your mouse left or right.
The controls are absolutely fucking horrid, did they not notice this while making the game?
I have to say that even though it is bastard hard I'm still enjoying the game, no matter how damn annoying those springboards are. I think one of the downfalls of this game is the fact that it can't go fullscreen. The number of dives I've cocked up by moving my mouse out of the game area is staggering.
Okay, one thing that would make this game 10 times less frustrating right off the bat would be to have DIFFERENT dive score requirements for each dive, or to remove them entirely for some of them. It's like they wanted to make 2 different games, one where you time your landing just right and another where you jump off the diving board and try to match the arc. Why the hell should I have to get the jump perfectly right and THEN have to re-do it 5 more times because I didn't land while perfectly straight?
This game would be cool..
IF YOU COULD JUMP MORE THAN A MM OFF THE FUCKING GROUND.
This flash game is awesome
Everyone who is complaining about it just sucks.
This game actually does require skill. If you just jump all willy-nilly then of course it's not going to work right.
It IS a hard game, and it's not just up to luck if you know what you're doing.
Lol I got a 0.0 score :D

Playing a game that requires skill, you should be able to get good enough to play through the game without missing more than once or twice, go try that with this game and I'm sure you won't be so pleased. Your character is a physics object, and not a very well controlled one either. There's only so much you can do to hit the diving boards at precisely the right angle to propel yourself forward, that's basically THE only skill required, the rest is all up to chance.
Out of 29 dives, I've passed about 15-20 of them on a pure fluke. This game is just about grinding, the best way to pass pretty much all the levels is to keep trying over, and over, and over, until you get a lucky stroke and eventually pass. Or hit a wall at top speed and watch your ragdoll randomly land in between the buoys giving you a good enough score to make it to the next level.
And by the way, games that involve grinding are a blight to the gaming world. Just look at WoW. (And the people who play WoW.)
This needs some skill but 2/3 is luck.
Fuck, I was at the last one AND IT CRASHED!! :argh:

Actually, it does take skill. You have to learn how to jump just right to get the distance, when to stand up on the board so you go farther, and when to come ot of rolling just right so you get that dive. There are also tips you can learn which will make life TREMENDOUSLY more easy.
fuck the 2nd diving one!
I can't even do the first!

Hey a203xi.
I created Diver. The control scheme was/is somewhat experimental. It's the same control scheme used by Ski Stunt Simulator (an old java based game about skiing.)
Diver is more difficult because you don't have the skis for balance. I didn't intentionally develop the game to be a "grind" game.
I agree there is some luck involved, but skill does indeed play a large part. I compare the skill somewhat to golf. There is a whole lot of luck in me landing the ball on the green on a par-3, but at least part of it is due to skill.
Anyway, I'm open to all opinions of my game. You're not the only one that things the controls stink. :-)

Hey Jeff! Don't change the controls please, I think that they are perfect the way they are now. Something I would like could be a online score board, new maps and probably a map editor.
Thanks for the great game. :D
1-19 is fucking hard. Can't do it.
It's a great game, on level 13 now :4chan:
