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!

How does your game fit the theme?
Has a dolphin that dives deeper to find treasure to help a parrot make it back to land
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code was written by us, music was produced by hburd and we used one tileset that we found online from open game art, fully open license and is credited on our itch page!

Overall 📓
This was a very well made game! I had lots of fun while playing it! Great work on this title! It is very well polished and is one of my favorite games this jam!
A really satisfying game, i really enjoy the mechanic to deliver the fishes, and the gameplay loop works really well.
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?
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 game was fun. Everything was good, from the story to the gameplay !
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.
Dolphins are always a winning concept, neat graphics and smooth controls very suitable for the game. Good work!
very nice I really liked the echo location system and fish as currency is creative.
Good Job!
Very cute game, I really liked the music and good job being on theme!
