Hungry Dolphin

Great dolphin simulator :) I really liked this. Lots of fun, the tutorial works well and the levelling up is a really nice idea.

I'm really impressed that you included a tutorial. I'm guessing most people would skip it due to the time constraint =)

Cool I would add scoring based on more fish eaten in one dive

It's pretty fun swimming around eating fish, wish there was more to do though.

Haha I liked doing air flips as a dolphin. The big fish deep under the sea were pretty funny too.

I like te controls and the air concept was really fun

Good level of polish! I just wish it was harder

I like Dolphin jumping games, this was fun.

I like the way you tutorialized it. After reaching level 2, I sent my dolphin on an exploratory mission to the bottom of the ocean. He did not return.

I really like how simple and easy this is to play. Good gradual progression through levels too. Thanks for making it!

very simple graphics and gameplay, and quite a bit of fun. great work!

Nice little game. Tutorial is really good addition.

I can't explain but I liked it!

Fun times. :) Simple, easy. Good job.

I too liked the tutorial, but didn't explore until I was higher level. I like the levels and the behaviour of the fish.

Very addictive. The fish behaviour was cool, I liked how they moved like real fish.

Nice. Similar controls to the game I made. But a different idea. There wasn't much graphical variation but the gamepay was solid. Overall very fun and that death message got a chuckle. Well done.

Wow, I didn't expect my game being rated this much! Was it posted somewhere?
Thanks for all the great comments!

My game is about a dolphin too!! x)
Good job, it was fun swimming around for fishes but it gets boring after a while because there is nothing else to do, like enemies to avoid.. I like how the fish get bigger the deeper you swim!

Fluid movement - core mechanics work well.
Need to add some sound, trying to enjoy the game while keeping an eye on the o2 levels is annoying... sound or flashing color somewhere would work well.

I really liked this game a lot, some ambient beach audio/music would have made it amazing. I think you could have had a couple options for an ending.

(Spoilers? for people who haven't played enough): Either at level 9 you win, or once you get to 8/9 you have just enough oxygen to reach the ocean floor which has like treasure or something or just triggers a little single "you win!" image with the dolphin smiling or something...

Just a thought, this is a very very solid Compo entry though, quite impressive.

It was a cute game.

nice little game, would do well on a touch device as well :-) quite easy though.

love playing it, very easy to play and understand. smooth controls, only thing missing is some sort of enemy or obstacle that you have to avoid, its too easy to stay alive! love the game all around!

The game is lacking sounds (or is it just me?) be the controls and the presence of an ingame tutorial make the game really enjoyable to play.

Good job

Great work with the tutorial! Really doesn't get in the way of the gameplay and lets the player get straight in. Important when we've got hundreds of games to play! Movement felt good too. Could have done with being more obvious when I was running low on air :)

Awesome tutorial! Great graphics!

GOTY

Nice dolphin movement. Good sea gradient. Scary fast moving fish. The blocking UI notifications could probably be integrated into the gameplay to make it a bit smoother, like arcade style centre of the screen messages. Well done!

This was really fun to control, nice work. :)
