Linux version doesn't work.
Error: DolphinMeat-Linux.zip: Can not open file as archive
a little hard to control and image angle looked bad
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.
I decided to do some sunbathing

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
I tried to get the Linux version but I can't seem to extract it:
$ unzip -t DolphinMeat-Linux.zip

End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of DolphinMeat-Linux.zip or
DolphinMeat-Linux.zip.zip, and cannot find DolphinMeat-Linux.zip.ZIP, period.
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!
I played a very simmilar game recently: http://bearmancer.itch.io/pequod
Controls weren't clear from the start, took me a while to figure out how to eat sailors.
"HL3 confirmed" - heh-eh-heh ;)
NOOO, the cute dolphin! you monster, how could you make a little, cute dolphin to a monster?!
:)
