A milestone for Dave the diver
Developer Mintrocket is pleased to announce that its beloved game Dave the Diver has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The announcement came from the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account. The post features a cute little image of Dave and Head Chef Bancho, marking a great moment for the game. Since its launch in June 2023, it has constantly expanded. Starting on Windows and Mac, it came to Switch in October 2023. And finally it came to PlayStation in April 2024.

Dave the Diver generated quite a bit of debate about whether it should be considered a standalone game. While its style and charm fit the indie label, many questioned this classification because its developer, Mintrocket, is part of Nexon, a major gaming company. The game's nomination for Best Indie Game at the Game Awards 2023 intensified the discussion and sparked more conversations about what truly defines an indie title in the gaming industry.
However, it is a fantastic game that everyone should try at least once. Here at COGconnected, we give it a rating of 90 out of 100 for its innovative approach to the genre. As well as its variety of mini-games, tasks and side missions, visually entertaining interactions and soundtrack and sound design.
