Fun! I was a bit confused on my first run, especially with the pollution tapes, but I did much better on my second try and then it all made sense. Making rainbows and the dolphin's movements were really interesting to play with.  I'm not so sure about the timer, but why not I suppose. The general aesthetic is chef kiss!

Excellent! The controls were weird but felt intuitive, there seemed to be lots of ways to tackle the problems. I never felt like I was fighting the controls, it was just a skill issue.

One minor things it that you forgot to add WASD controls in the menu, it should be redundant with the arrow key controls.

Great game and the vibe was excellent!

Thank you! To be honest, I'm not totally satisfied with the controls at the moment. I'm actually testing some changes to the controls that give the game a slightly less restrictive feel (specifically, letting players pop blocks up by pushing horizontal against the wall). Also good catch about the WASD controls in the menu. I'm planning to do a polish update so I will fix that. I really appreciate the feedback!

This was a lot of fun!! I still haven't quite gotten the hang of it, but once you get movin' and groovin you can really begin to savor the fun dolphin vibes. i really appreciate how much you were able to get out of so little; like the economy of design and art here is incredible, good work!!

idk what to think of the graphics LOL but both the music and the gameplay are kinda awesome. there's just an inherent satisfaction to just building up the rainbows, especially in the pool mode. kinda reminds me of solitaire if that even makes sense lol

I really appreciate the feedback! There's a particular quirky vibe I was going for with the visuals, but I also kind of ran out of time lol, so I understand your reaction. I totally get the solitaire comparison. I want the gameplay to have the feeling of doing a simple, satisfying task with incentive for skill expression, so that's definitely the type of gameplay I'm after.
