Nice gameplay. Had a bit of trouble in the beginning but it turned out really good to play. Liked the character too xD
Managed to beat it after dedicating my right hand to just pressing Space. Very fun idea, good job.
An unlucky place for a dolphin to live! Funny stuff, good job man.
I think the controls need to be rethought. Otherwise it played well enough. It's a shame we can't see more of the dolphin swimming around underwater, the model looks pretty good.
Funny game! But trying to stay "Beneath the Surface" is really counterproductive :D
@Zazibar: The hint with always pressing space helped me finish this game.
I almost reached the ned but could not finish it. The water effect and stone/mine colors are nice. The screaming sfx of the dolphin is epic.
Hah for some reason I really liked the game. It made me feel bad for a second after that LOUD explosion and that dolphin sound. Good graphics for such a short amount of time. I've had fun.
Cool games, quite hard, but can be beaten! Just the right amount of challenge involved...
Fun -- but the difficulty curve went from OMFG impossible to very easy in like 1 turn.
Surprisingly fun, and with cool graphics too. Super good water effects!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Poor dolphin...
