First look / Humpback encounter
2D at heartSide-view adventure. A world with depth.
Better togetherFind your pod. Follow the current.
Taking shapeA new adventure, still in development.
An old feeling. A new ocean.
Some adventures stay with you.
Others call you back.
The rush of a perfect dive. Sunlight above, something unknown below. A whole world opening up beyond the edge of the screen.
Pod Protector carries that spirit into a new, mostly 2D ocean adventure: fluid movement, luminous depths, and the pull of a pod you don’t want to leave behind.
From the development reef
Fresh from the deep.
Three early looks at the adventure taking shape. These are development tests; visuals and mechanics are still evolving.

You’re part of something bigger.
Slip through the water alongside humpbacks. A movement and swarm test with a very different sense of scale.
Development footage
Lead. Break away. Reunite.
An early look at the pod drop mechanic: dolphins following your lead, separating, and finding their way back together.
Real footage from three work-in-progress builds. Use each player’s controls for audio and full screen.
In-game capture / Humpback swarm testLook beyond your own fins
An ocean that makes you feel small.
There’s the world right in front of you. Then there’s everything moving in the blue beyond it.
Swim alongside giants, thread between rocky shelves, and follow the light toward the surface. This is an ocean made to move through.
Watch the humpbacksMeet Dumu
A smaller fin.
The same big ocean.
Every dolphin brings a different presence to the water. The playable Dumu test is an early look at that idea: a new character, a familiar current, and more of the adventure ahead.
Playable character in development
Dumu / Character artA little instinct. A little wonder.
Find your flow.
Built around the feeling of being a dolphin: the turn, the dive, the leap, and the company you keep.
Chase the surface.
That moment when water gives way to sky. Early movement tests explore dives, turns, and leaps into the light.
Find your pod again.
A dolphin can cut through the water alone. The moment the others return is a different kind of magic.
There’s another story
beneath the surface.
Pod Protector is still finding its fins.
Take a first look now. There’s more ocean ahead.
