How does your game fit the theme?
It's a surfing simulator, but rather than being a surfer trying to do cool tricks, you are a dolphin trying to swim peacefully around until you see the surfers and end up going after them. This isn't a standard role to play in a surfing simulator, henceforth the theme.

Idea is really cool and fits the theme perfectly, controls are simple and easy to understand, art, music and overall presentation are perfect.
The idea of knocking off surfers from above and hijacking the board unfolds with jumping-off-water mechanic and 2d-aiming controls. But it seems like the dolfin turns way too slow for the pace. Same for controlling the board - I barely could do anything when on it. Also, I would add animation for knocked people just to show that they're still alive (otherwise it seems too dark for the atmosphere)
Nice game for the jam!
Nice arts and concept! I would really like to see this polished and expanded!
Hilarious game, loved the bright visuals and fun concept
A neat and fun idea that seem slightly hampered by the controls. I think for as fast paced as the music is, and the chaotic and ridiculous nature of what's happening on screen, the dolphin turns way too slowly. And it seems like while you're surfing, there isn't much control over what direction you're rotating it. It almost felt like the dolphin was top heavy, and was making the surfboard spin downwards.
Those are my only two hang ups in an otherwise fun premise. Its fun to knock over surfers, and once you got some speed going on the surfboard it was really enjoyable. Nice work!
Great idea! Being able to surf yourself was a nice inclusion. Well done!
Very cool presentation. A bit hard to understand what was happening once I got on the board, but I knew I wanted more!
A fantastic and creative game! The controls may be a bit challenging at first (the dolphin moves quite slowly), but once you get the hang of it, it's an absolute blast riding the waves! Excellent job :)
Really funny idea, I cracked up when I ended up riding a couple surfer's heads for a bit!
Graphics are really cute. I really enjoyed playing!
THIS IS SO CUTE AND SILLY !!! the artstyle is extremely charming and i never thought it was possible to feel so whimsical as a frightened dolphin :]
