Dolfender by PixelPusher27

[raw]
made by PixelPusher27 for LD32 (JAM)
Defend the ocean with the very trash that threatens it!

Eat garbage by moving over it and shoot it back through your blow hole by
pressing spacebar. Be careful! You can only eat one piece of garbage
at at time. Any more will hurt you!

*Be sure to use FULL SCREEN (see full screen toggle)
if playing here or use the WEB link. The
spacebar will make the page jump around otherwise.

[ARROW KEYS]: Movement
[SPACEBAR]: Shoot garbage eaten
[M]: Mute music
[U]: Unmute music
[ENTER]: Exit the game over screens

Stream of consciousness thoughts: So. Much. Garbage. Hard to dodge it all, but that's what makes it challenging. Definitely fits the theme, graphics are pretty good (more could be done with the dolphin, I think, both with the swimming and indicating that your stomach is full. Somewhat short.

Enjoyable, somewhat overly short and simple, but fun.

The design is simple:>
Too many garbage too close with each other, and there is a delay before you can shoot the garbage out, it limits the player's skill.

The idea is good and the gameplay better, the only thing i missed is a little more polished graphics. Good job! Keep working on it to have a good project! :)

I love it! Those boats sure throw out a lot of toasters. Everything is really well put together, graphics, audio, theme. Good job.

Fun game and I like the graphics / animations.

Suggestions:
1) Not very obvious when stomach is empty/full; maybe make that more prominent by showing a larger/different dolphin when its 'full'?

2) Spacing out the garbage a bit more -- the garbage falls on top of each other sometimes to where you take 2 hits rapidly.

3) Hitboxes could be a bit more accurate. Either the dolphin or the garbage's hitboxes seems too large and collides where it clearly shouldn't.

Otherwise great work

Nice, interesting idea and interesting game mechanics. I enjoyed it the whole way through. Would happily have played more levels!
