Flip Diving – arcade game that is hard to describe!
Flip Diving, the hot new way to dive the sea, is fast becoming a popular activity among the young divers of today. With many fun and exciting new features, Flip Diving gives the novice diver an excellent opportunity to explore and enjoy the ocean from an exciting new perspective. Does your ten-second video clip look like a professional diver? What’s a bad dive called?
According to one popular review, Flip Diving gives the “next generation” pcmac user “the ultimate in sports diving technology.” From beginning to end, Flip Diving offers the same high-quality, durable product that customers have come to expect with their pcmacs, including everything from the accessory pcmacs to the air tank and accessory pockets. The Flip Diving computerized screen is continually displaying live data and photos taken by the pcmac’s onboard camera. Users can see exactly where their dive went, view detailed charts, watch recorded videos, and listen to voice prompts that advise them if they are diving in the right spot or at the right time.
Another major difference in Flip Diving over other similar systems is that the attraction system allows you to not only learn how to dive with Flip’s guidance, but to ” unlock new tricks” throughout your dives. If you want to try something new, you don’t have to wait for another training session or worry about missing a lesson – Flip Diving will teach you the new trick or technique right then and there, making it easy to perfect during your next dive. With new tricks unlocking as you progress through your Flip Diving experience, you’ll learn how to safely handle your Flip, how to work with its computerized interface, and even how to complete difficult tasks without damaging your Flip. In short, Flip Diving lets you try out new things as you advance in your flips without worrying about damaging or injuring your Flip.
One of the most exciting parts of Flip Diving is the way it teaches you how to handle and use your Flip. Unlike traditional cliff diving and scuba diving where you’re free to move and learn at your own pace, in Flip Diving you’re required to remain static while your instructor presents new instructions and challenges to you. This means that your instructor can easily make small adjustments or changes to your approach on the fly to ensure that you’re learning how to do it properly, rather than struggling to adapt to an instruction that isn’t very intuitive. And with so many training programs to choose from, you can spend as much or as little time practicing your flips on one of the Flip Diving hand held trainers or the high cliffs and rickety platforms found in the game. You can even get a taste of the action by playing one of the two Flip modes – the campaign or the obstacle mode – each with their own challenges and rewards.
Even though the Flip Diving game is similar to that of the majority of its genre, it does have a few extra features that set it apart. For example, the game has two different settings, one called the Campaign mode where you’ll need to complete missions to unlock new tricks, and the other one is the Obstacle mode which is just like doing cliff diving but with much more risk involved. And speaking of risks…there are two types of stunts you can perform while playing the Flip Diving game – standard (blue) jumps, and gravity assisted (yellow) leaps. Each requires different skill levels, and using them together allows you to build up your score much quicker than by simply performing regular flips.
Another neat feature of the game comes in the form of the bonus rooms. These are basically mini versions of the main game in that you’ll need to find items and objects to clear the path for your character through the room and up to the finish line. The rooms also come with a series of obstacles including high cliffs, rotating cages, rotating ladders and more, and again these are accomplished by finding items, placing them on the screen, then striking them against each other and breaking them apart. It’s a fun little bit of game play that helps to build the anticipation of what the actual game will be like, and what high cliffs are like when you actually have to walk down them! Overall, Flip Diving is definitely one of the best arcade games you can download for your computer, and it’s a shame that it doesn’t have more exposure outside of Japan!
