Hey dude, really awesome game. Looks like it took a lot of work with all the upgrades and dialogue. My favorite part of this game is how good it feels to control the dolphin with the mouse. Also congrats on getting to 20 Ratings! Also, also, thanks for getting my game to 20 ratings as well!

A really satisfying game, i really enjoy the mechanic to deliver the fishes, and the gameplay loop works really well.

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

Great game :) really fun to move around and swim, especially jumping out of the water with the boost mechanic.

I can appreciate how tricky it is to get the surface of the water working, my game has the same thing!

Did I get all of the treasures?

Developer

Nice work, I respect your persistence! I just opened up the project to check, there are actually 26 treasures so not quite. I'm curious, did you get the puzzle? There's a single treasure hidden behind the water current below the whale, and there's a trick to getting through. The rest are scattered around pretty randomly.

BTW it is possible to win - once you get 15, you can talk to the parrot and you get an ending dialogue (then get kicked back to the main menu). I probably should have made that clearer but I was so sick of working on this by the end hahaha.

Entertaining game! Simple but well-executed mechanics, with some fun optional mechanics such as jumping out the water + speed boost from water jet = yarrr we be flyin'

Well done!

The idea of the dolphin is great. Although the assets for the environment are prabably public assets(seen it from many other people), but you definitely put effort into designing the map. For example the part that you have to upgrade to a certain speed to cross the barrier. 

If you have time, please take a look at my game, thank you.

Developer

Thanks for playing :) I'm happy you made it to the speed upgrade and figured out how to cross the barrier. I've been playing your game, I'll leave a comment!

I loved this game so much! It's fun and feels very well polished. The tutorial is great and I love the dialogue. The art was a bit lacking but still very good for the time frame. Overall nice game (idk why it has so few ratings. hopefully that will change.)
