About

Take a submarine down where the mines are. Mine Dive is a one-thumb arcade diver. Put your thumb anywhere on the screen and slide — the boat goes where you point it and holds that depth until you move. That is the whole control scheme. Everything else is nerve. THREAD THE FIELD Moored mines drift on the current. Rock and wreckage break the seabed. Gaps arrive off the beat, never on it, so you cannot settle into a rhythm and coast. THE SURFACE IS NOT SAFE EITHER Destroyers hunt overhead and roll depth charges set for your exact depth. You hear the splash before you see the drum. Torpedoes come in flat and fast, and the deeper you get, the better they steer. FLANK SPEED Hold the throttle and the world runs at double time — twice the distance, twice the score, half the time to react. It costs nothing but the seconds you no longer have. SIX WAYS DOWN Endless. Daily Challenge on a shared seed. Sonar Blackout, where the field is dark and a ping is all you get. Salvage Run. Time Trial. Hardcore. FAIR, AND MEASURED Every gate is generated inside a reachability envelope, and the hazard mix is checked by a simulator that flies hundreds of thousands of runs looking for moments with no way out. Hard is the point. Unfair is a bug.
