About game
Staring at a blank screen while your coffee gets cold is the worst way to spend a break. Save the Dumplings! They're Sinking! Solves that boredom by turning you into a brave little diver on a mission to rescue submerged snacks. You control a dumpling navigating dangerous waters where every second counts toward your survival. Your suit takes damage from obstacles, and your oxygen levels act as a strict clock for your underwater escapades. Push your luck by swimming deeper to collect more dumplings, but remember that anything you grab vanishes if you fail to return to the surface. Dodging grumpy fish and jagged kelp adds a layer of tension that keeps your heart pumping during every run. Grab your oxygen tanks, upgrade your strategy, and see how many you can save before the abyss swallows you whole. Play Save the Dumplings! They're Sinking! Right here in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
Drag with your finger or mouse to move left and right — your dumpling swims down on its own.
Touch a sinking dumpling to rescue it — its vest inflates and it swims up by itself.
Watch two bars: oxygen is your dive timer, the suit is your durability against hits and pressure. Run out of either, and the run is over.
Press ASCEND whenever you decide it is enough: everyone you rescued this dive gets banked. The deeper you dove before surfacing, the bigger your score multiplier.
Features
- Pressure management: Your diving suit takes damage from deep-sea hazards and needs constant monitoring to survive the trip back up.
- Oxygen economy: You must balance the need to go deeper for high scores against the dwindling air supply left in your tanks.
- Sour cream boosts: Grab these rare power-ups to gain a temporary speed burst that helps you zip past aggressive eels and mines.
- Risk mitigation: Deciding when to hit the ascend button is the difference between banking your score or losing every dumpling you collected.
Who is it for
