Dont Splash
WHAT IS DONT SPLASH?
Dont Splash is a 3D horror platformer that combines precise jumping, stealth, and survival inside an abandoned swimming pool. Your mission is to cross nine hazardous rooms without falling into the water, where a blind monster hunts anything that makes noise. Thick fog limits visibility, while sinking tiles, rotating bridges, and moving platforms make every jump dangerous. You can throw objects to distract the creature and must photograph a hidden code to unlock the final exit. Play alone or cooperate with a friend in local split-screen mode. Watch your footing, time your movements, and escape without alerting the monster!
HOW TO PLAY
Cross the Pool: Navigate nine rooms by jumping between platforms and avoiding the water.
Watch for Moving Hazards: Time your jumps around sinking tiles, rotating bridges, drifting floors, and crushing walls.
Avoid Making Noise: Stay out of the water because splashes attract the blind creature.
Distract the Monster: Throw pebbles or bottles to draw its attention away from your route.
Unlock the Exit: Find and photograph the hidden code needed to open the final door.

Navigate Nine Rooms of Unstable Platforms
The abandoned pool contains a series of obstacles that test your timing and positioning. Sinking tiles require quick movement before they disappear beneath you, while rotating bridges and drifting floors make it harder to judge safe landing spots.
Crushing walls introduce another threat, forcing you to watch your surroundings as you move forward. Thick fog further limits how far you can see, making careful navigation essential.
Falling into the water is especially dangerous because it can alert the creature waiting below.
Outsmart a Monster That Hunts by Sound
The monster cannot see you, but it reacts to noise in the water. This makes sound management an important part of survival rather than simply avoiding obstacles.
Pebbles and bottles provide a way to manipulate the creature's attention. Throwing these objects can lure it away from the area you need to cross, creating an opportunity to move forward.
Reaching the final door also requires finding a hidden code and photographing it, so successful escape depends on exploration as well as platforming skills.
Escape Together in Local Split-Screen Mode
Local two-player split-screen lets you share the challenge with a friend using one keyboard. Both players must navigate the hazardous pool environment while avoiding the creature.
Cooperative play includes the ability to revive your partner, allowing you to help each other recover during dangerous situations. Coordinating jumps and movement becomes particularly useful when crossing unstable platforms.
You can also complete the escape alone if you prefer tackling the nine rooms without a partner.
