What Divekick is
Divekick is a fighting game developed by Iron Galaxy Studios and released in 2013. It is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on PhyreEngine.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Divekick is the world’s first two-button fighting game. It distills the essence of the fighting game genre into just two buttons with no d-pad directional movement. It is a comedic parody of fighting game motifs and contains many humorous references to games (especially those in the Street Fighter franchise) as well as inside jokes from within the competitive fighting game community. Unlike most fighting games which are played using many buttons for many different kinds of movement and attacks, Divekick is played using only two buttons, Dive and Kick.

It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action and comedy. It supports multiplayer for up to 2 players online. Local play supports 2 players. Available modes: Multiplayer, Single player and Split screen. There are 14 achievements to unlock.
