Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })NATICA STAR SPLASH is an Action Game developed by Fox Eye, a Doujin Soft developer known for its various Under the Sea fantasy games such as Holdover, Sacrifice Girl, Hades Vanquish, and BLUE GUARDIAN: Margaret.You play as the titular Natica, one the mascots of the Fox Eye ABYSS section of the circle who previously appeared as one of the main characters of previous event games Slide Loop Puzzle and Natica and Sandy: Underwater Rescue. This game tasks you with using Natica to grab all of the stars you can find in different submerged areas, and then safely return to the surface with all of them in hand without letting Natica drown in the process. Combos are made by grabbing these stars in a consistent rate to get more points. The medals you can win from beating each level can be used to get more skills, which can then help you complete additional quotas in each level in order to get even more medals.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Clearing every level of each area’s basic mission of gathering the stars rewards you with artwork of Natica in different situations and scenarios that’s usually portrayed as Fanservice. Collecting enough medals in that that area unlocks a more Fanservicey variation of the same artwork.This game was originally released as a Christmas Eve 2018 event game, but in 2019, it made a comeback as the last of the five games included in the Fox Eye Limited Game Collection. New material from there includes a zoom-in camera option, updated artwork, an English version, and most significantly, the very first time Natica was given a voice. | |

Hotter and Sexier | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Some of Natica’s 2019 artwork in the Updated Re-release of this game comes off as this compared to the original 2018 versions. For example, while the 2018 version of the first unlockable artwork has Natica confidently posing underwater with a Blade on a Stick, the 2019 version instead has her hugging the rock behind her. Her rear, along with a serene look on her face, both face the camera. This is further emphasized in an unlockable variation of the same artwork, where Natica maintains this same pose, but is now completely naked while also smiling with a heavy teasing Luminescent Blush on her face, making it now seem like she’s inviting the viewer for underwater intercourse. Considering that she’s one of the mascots of the more-mature Fox Eye ABYSS section of the circle, this trope was likely intentional. | |

| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_13f5b1b | comment |
Instant-Win Condition: After collecting all of the stars in a level, you must then have Natica swim to the surface in order to complete the level. This means that you can still get a Game Over if Natica drowns before then. | |

| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: This is the second game after Natica and Sandy: Underwater Rescue to star Natica as the playable protagonist. While Underwater Rescue is a Tower Defense game that features the duo together, STAR SPLASH is an Action Game with Natica as its only character and Sandy nowhere in sight. | |

| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_262861e1 | comment |
Blade on a Stick: As a Call-Back to her previous game, Natica poses with a harpoon in the first 2018 artwork. The alternate version of this makes her completely naked, but she's quick to cover her nipples with the harpoon while sporting an annoyed look on her face. | |

Pool Scene | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_2d97c18b | comment |
Pool Scene: The Midnight Pool level is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. It runs completely different rules from the rest of the game in that you have Natica catch stars and bells that fall from the sky before any of them touch the bottom of the pool. Building a combo in this level creates a vacuum effect that draws stars and bells towards Natica. This vacuum effect gets stronger the bigger the combo is. Natica can also briefly draw the pickups towards her by leaping out of, and diving back into the pool. This is also the only level with 5 medals instead of the usual 3, and each medal is won from every 1,000 points you have in your high score. | |

Gratuitous English: In the Fox Eye Limited Game Collection Updated Re-release, Natica gains a voice that is provided by the Japanese Yuumi Nakai. However, all of Natica's spoken lines are short cheers in English that change depending on how many medals were earned after completing a level. She says "Okay!" for one medal, "Yeah!" for two medals, and "Grrrr-eat!" for getting all three. | |

| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_33029735 | comment |
Dies Wide Open: Whenever Natica drowns in this game, her eyes freeze up in utter despair. She also seems to drown this way in the alternate version of the third 2018 artwork when her feet get stuck in a clam's shell. | |

Under the Sea: Many of the levels take place in one of four different underwater areas, such as an ocean's seabed, an industrial waterway, an undersea cave, or a deep swimming pool. | |

Follow the Money | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_42048ac5 | comment |
Follow the Money: Several levels in the game set up their stars for you to follow and grab in a path line. Some even last the entire level, going from the first star all the way to the last one, making them essential for point Combos and capitalizing on your unlockable skills in order to achieve those combos. | |

Downplayed Trope | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_42c9f1ec | comment |
A downplayed example: the game doesn't register a loss until after Natica's drowning animation finishes. Most of the time, this is moot since the player loses control of Natica once the animation starts. However, if the player is fortunate enough to have Natica close to the surface when she starts drowning, there's a chance that her head will break the surface; causing her to immediately stop drowning and giving control back to the player. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: You aren’t expected to achieve the high score of 5,000 points in the Midnight Pool level until you have unlocked almost every single skill in the game beforehand. Even after you do, how, when, and where the stars and bells fall into the pool is entirely randomized. | |

Combos | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_991912ca | comment |
Combos: Gather stars in a quick, consecutive order to keep raising how many points you get from the next star. Grabbing bells isn't necessary to complete a level, but they do extend the combo time longer than the stars do. There are separate unlockable skills that boosts the combo time for bells even further, and does so for stars, themselves. In the Midnight Pool level, starting a combo draws stars and bells towards Natica. The higher the combo becomes, the strong the attraction is. | |

Oxygen Meter | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_b543bac4 | comment |
Oxygen Meter: Subverted, this time. While it cannot be seen, as a Fox Eye game, it's still definitely there. You must watch for Natica's body language and behavior when she's on the verge of drowning, and the meter drops faster if she takes damage underwater. There are different skills you can unlock that improve how long she can hold her breath. It takes about 5 seconds for her to fully recover her oxygen from a full dive. In the Updated Re-release, by way of Author Appeal, you will also hear her straining her voice when she's almost out of air, and this occurs before she starts verbally struggling for a breath. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| NATICA STAR SPLASH (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Some of the skills simply make it easier to maneuver Natica during her diving sessions, and help sustain her Combos, such as instantly charging her Dolphin Kick skill by tapping the Z Key rather than holding it, or maintaining your control of her even when she starts struggling to hold her breath. A downplayed example: the game doesn't register a loss until after Natica's drowning animation finishes. Most of the time, this is moot since the player loses control of Natica once the animation starts. However, if the player is fortunate enough to have Natica close to the surface when she starts drowning, there's a chance that her head will break the surface; causing her to immediately stop drowning and giving control back to the player. | |

Art Evolution: All of this game's unlockable artwork was redone in the game's Updated Re-release in the Fox Eye Limited Game Collection. However, the improvement isn't as significant as other games in that collection, as the length between the original and new releases of NATICA STAR SPLASH is only a few months. Most of the 2019 art instead puts Natica through a new scenario compared to her 2018 artwork. | |

No-Damage Run: Invoked. Some of the levels have medal quotas that require you beat them without getting hit by the spiked mines and moving clams. The game in general encourages avoiding damage to get medals, as damage flinches and immobilizes Natica long enough for the player to lose their point combo. | |

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Natica is a young Dark-Skinned Blonde girl with a passion for swimming and diving. As mentioned in the Natica and Sandy: Underwater Rescue page, not only is she specifically one of Fox Eye's many blonde heroines (which outnumber every other hair color in the circle), but she also strongly resembles (or is even an Expy of) Marie from Holdover. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the two◊ provided by Fox, himself (along with Rico of Blue Port. Fox Eye's original blonde heroine). | |
