Took me a minute to get the spacebar thing but after I figured it out I was really giving it to those sailors!

I've always wanted to be a dolphin with the ability to smash through ships, fly in the air, and then hit my face on the bottom of the ocean due to how high I went.

Funny little game, although the charging mechanic was a bit hard getting used to at first. Also, the game would have benefited greatly from more than 4 direction-sprites of the vicious dolphin. Steel-drum music was minimalist but fitting the theme and the physics worked rather well.

This was fun, I really all the sunken boats at the bottom so I could go down and revel in the destruction.

Fun game. I like how you can fly into the air and elbow drop the ships (or whatever dolphins have instead of elbows). I also like how the steel drums are complimented by the screams of drowning sailors.

This was a fun little game. The atmosphere was enjoyable because the music was spot on, and something about destroying ships and chomping on the dead sailors is just very calming.

I like your interpretation of the theme ^^
Wish there was a timer or something though since you had no reason to rush anything and accidently hit the mines. I would like something that made getting a highscore a challenge =)

Loved the mines sound effects =D

Needed a bit of time to understand you need to use the spacebar to break the boats

It's a lot of fun being a killer dolphin. :-)

I found the controls super fun: position under the boat, move up and charge in to the air destroying the boat, move mid-air to avoid any mines, eat some people. Rinse and repeat. An unusual but very valid take on the theme!

Controls weren't clear from the start, took me a while to figure out how to eat sailors.
