A nice and fun game to play! I really enjoyed the mechanics and controls, they were very well done and smooth. Great work!

Submitted

Excellent game, the mouse controls are really simple to understand. I wasn't that fussed about doing loops underwater and spent most of my time doing flips in the air instead. At one point I did jump my whale onto the scenery and got it beached.

It reminds me of old browser games, for example you had to go with an Orca, or obviously a dolphin because there was a similar game. If nostalgia was the goal, then it worked

Cute and fun game! The bad jumps felt a bit random, also ran into an issue with level 2 where I won and died at the same time which caused some text overlays. But besides those two things I had no issues at all.

You have to dive with your nose to do the good jumps, though the game doesn’t really explain it.

I found the secret item and I have questions

Really cool idea! I like getting the tricks and landing right!

So fun to jump around! I also like the little sad story about the dolphin

image.png Wow! First of all - I don’t know if I’m just bad at gaming, but only 1 fish, every race? :( But wow… The music is well chosen, the controls are awesome, it’s very creative, and the last level made me question my life. You have a very good submission, very good job! I’ll make sure to come back and rate, when the rating period begins.
