The "Bad File Length" issue has been solved, moved the build to a more stable web host. Also has Windows, Mac and Linux versions now available.
One comment on the coin/rings. What did they do? As for the score it seemed like only meters mattered. So if coins were to boost speed or just add extra joy that would make them understandable, make you make the surfer do cool tricks. Get applauds. Yay!
Second thing was that it would have been nice to get a warnings about the oxygen level of the diver.
And finally, at least add a personal high-score.
Great game! More dolphins!
You made the pun into a original game.
I liked the graphics (good waves) and the music fitted this type of game I think.
The steering was a bit odd for me. The mouse is somewhere on the screen, which makes the dolphin go in a certain direction, which makes the surf ace move and you have to scan where the surf ace is going and try to score points by jumping the hoops. It all was a bit much for my old eyes :) Wchich is a shame, because that way I miss some of the nice graphics.
So, good game but for me a bit too difficult.
Oh and I found a funny glitch, if you just swim forward and do not leave the left mouse button you will never die haha
Great graphics
I loved it :)
Yes, the coins are completely useless (except for the *pling* sound) as we forgot to display how many you got before end of the competition.
I'm going to write a Postmortem soon for more interesting stuff.. Like, did you know that you can fly? Jump out of the water and press spacebar.. a hidden FlappyDolphin feature, because why not. Uncompleted though :\
@BadgerPriest - That's fixed now! Thanks for letting me know!
@romandtom - Good spot, we'll have to fix that for the "High Tide" Post Compo version of the game :D
