Divekick finds a publisher, kills Kickstarter fundraiser
The Kickstarter page for Divekick, a fighting game billed as a parody of the genre, has been updated to reflect the campaign's closing, despite reaching its goal of $30,000. Divekick has found itself an unnamed publisher, and the money pledged will no longer be collected.Those who decided to back the Kickstarter campaign won't miss out on the perks, though said perks are being tweaked a bit. Since t-shirts can't be sent out without some money being sent in first, a special pre-order page will be set up for direct purchases.Higher reward tier backers will be able to unlock custom color schemes for character outfits, appear in the background of a stage, suggest their own characters, or contribute tips for display on the game's loading screens.
Divekick, a fighting game parody of fighting games, hits Kickstarter
Divekick started out as a joke. It was meant to be a commentary on fighting games and the community surrounding it, but has escalated into much more since people discovered it was ... actually fun.Now creator Adam "Keits" Heart is holding a Kickstarter campaign to finance a PC release. Divekick only uses two buttons: jump and kick. The first hit scored wins the round, and the first to win five rounds takes the match. A Kick-Meter fills during the match and activates Kick-Factor, speeding up your diving and kicks.Divekick has 28 days to go at the time of publishing, and has earned $9000 toward its $30,000 goal.
