It looked fun. I Wish I could play it, but unfortunately my computer only has a keyboard :D

You've got a great title, an awesome aesthetic, and a clear goal. The controls just need to be polished up so they work 100% of the time - it was easy to get stuck dead in the water. Nice work!
@sharpcoder
I put in alternative values in unity's inputmanager, but for some reason they're not working. I'm not sure if that type of bugfixing is allowed, otherwise I will put in a postcompo build.

Yeah getting stuck in the water is a real issue, I didn't have time to fix it sadly.
Funny premise. I liked the variety of fish. I totally want to wrangle and electric eel and get electrically charged for a few seconds and zap all the fish nearby.
Cannonball!!!
Nice work! It's a fun concept that's a little awkward using keyboard controls. Some sound really would've helped, and wish there were reasons to do tricks after your dive is over, besides being beautiful.
This is really cute. The controls were definitely much easier with the gamepad.
Simple, pretty, over all kinda fun for a small concept. I feel manlier already.
Love the graphics. The fish are beautiful too.
The water effect is really nice. Almost sort of like ridiculous fishing
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I actually wanted to make a move where you could hold on to the fish and strangle them haha. You would be able to ride the dolphin that way. Maybe I'll finish the game later.
Haha great premise, really liked the wibbly water! Nothing better than some fish wrestling to make you feel manly :D
Can't play this, Unity webplayer is not available for Linux OS. Feel free to send me a tweet @tinyworlds if you export a Linux executable and I'll play your game.
Great variety in the fish art - and while I kind of like the tricks, they didn't feel to pay of enough. Maybe a bit more score feedback would've been nice there, and audio! The swimming feels super nice until you crash into something though, and jumps felt very satisfying to pull off. Good job all around!
Love the concept! Interesting choice of keys for the controls :P
It's a pretty neat game, though if you lack a controller it's sort of awkward to hit the controls.
Nice game, great art style.
If you make it so the bottom doesn't stop your horizontal motion it would control much smoother - that or just lower the bottom way down and make it kill you if you touch it - also have the ocean get darker as it gets deeper. I like the game mechanics and the art. I hated not having a restart button and just sitting at the bottom. I would also recommend making the player do a generic auto-dive if no special dive move is selected.
Really funny and plays well. Could have used more fish coming from the left side to make it easier to boost between them and jump out of the water for some more manly tricks.
1480 points was my record after three tries. Although somewhat hard to control, the gameplay was pretty interesting. Some of the fish seemed to appear out of thin air though, and I sometimes hit them even before I could see them :P. Loved how the surface turned into a sine-wave after the game was over.
