Select your character! Select your gem! Select your duds!
Divekick is a downloadable 2D indie fighting game developed and published by Iron Galaxy for the PlayStation 3 (Platform) (via PlayStation Network), PlayStation Vita (Platform) (also via PlayStation Network), and PC (Platform) (via Steam (Concept)) on August 20, 2013. Divekick: Addition Edition is set for the PlayStation 4 (Platform) and Xbox One (Platform) and released as a free downloadable update for existing PC, PS3 and Vita users on April 4, 2014.
Billed both as "the first two-button fighting game" and a parody of competitive fighting game culture (featuring various inside jokes from the community), the game requires players to use Mind Games, special abilities, and a restricted control scheme (with no joystick or d-pad movement whatsoever) to knock out their opponents using one simple diving kick attack.

The game features parodies of fighting game characters infamous for their divekick abilities (such as Yun (Character), Yang, Rufus (Character), Kung Lao (Character), Wolverine (Character) and Doctor Doom (Character)), and parodies of notable people in American fighting game culture (such as professional gamer "Marn", tournament organizer Alex Jebailey, and former Capcom community manager Seth Killian).
The prototype for Divekick was originally developed in early 2012 by a group of fighting game fans (collectively dubbed One True Game Studios). After a successful debut at fighting game tournament events throughout the United States, a Kickstarter campaign to fund a PC release was announced (with a ,000 goal within a 30 day deadline), which was later redacted after the original creator (and former editor-in-chief of [http:/shoryuken.com Shoryuken.com]), Adam 'Keits' Heart, had successfully made a deal with Iron Galaxy Studios for the game's further development and release (hyped up by friend-of-the-site and Iron Galaxy CEO Dave Lang (Person)).
