Kenny's Adventure, also known as Scuba in Aruba, Shark Attack, and Subsea Relic (yeah, quite a few names for a game like this), is a Platform Game for computers running Windows and mobile phones developed and published by DivoGames in 2006. Among the items inherited from his grandfather, Kenny finds an artifact that holds great power and has been stolen by pirates who died after trying to take it for themselves. Now its pieces have been scattered underwater in many parts of the world, which Kenny intends to find while collecting all sorts of treasure and avoiding undersea creatures.


This game provides examples of:

  • 1-Up: Icons of Kenny's face are used as extra lives.
  • Bottomless Pits: They start appearing as a threat starting from halfway through the first world, as indicated by skull signs.
  • Every 10,000 Points: You earn a life for every 100,000 points accumulated.
  • Flying Saucer: Aliens in UFOs sometimes show up stuck in walls.
  • The Goomba: Hermit crabs show up starting from level 1, die in one hit, and otherwise pose next to no threat.
  • Goomba Stomp: Jumping on hermit crabs is a reliable way of dealing with them. Not so much with everything else.
  • Idle Animation: Kenny jumps around and moves his arms while idling. A jaunty song even plays as he does so.
  • Interactive Start Up: On the main menu, you can click on the bubbles to pop them or the crabs to make them shake.
  • Jump Physics: Holding up makes Kenny jump higher and even swim to gain maximum height.
  • Knockback: Every time Kenny is hit, he gets pushed back slightly.
  • Level Goal: Each level ends when you enter the bathyscaphe after collecting all artifacts.
  • Meaningless Lives: Considering you pick up so many lives and have a generous health bar, you're likely to have 20 lives by the end of the first world.
  • Mercy Invincibility: Kenny flashes and becomes invincible very shortly upon getting hit.
  • Money Spider: Most enemies drop a few coins or other valuables upon death.
  • Obstructive Foreground: A few secrets are only hidden due to objects in the foreground like pillars.
  • Oxygen Meter: You have a certain amount of oxygen in your tank for each level that depletes as you get hit by enemies/hazards, so it effectively functions as a Life Meter.
  • Rainbow Speak: Some names in tutorials are written in orange.
  • Scoring Points: Your score goes up when you collect coins and treasures.
  • Spikes of Doom: Sharp reef-like objects show up as hazards.
  • Themed Cursor: The cursor is meant to resemble the glove from Kenny's scuba diver suit.
  • Under the Sea: The whole game takes place underwater as Kenny's scuba diving.

Alternative Title(s): Scuba In Aruba, Subsea Relic
