Dolphin Swim

EDIT: The dev has started adding back the previous events and achievements. At the time of this edit you can play three modes, including the 1 Year Anniversary event. ------------------------------------------------- If you're a player looking for a simple, challenging and frustrating game to spend a few minutes on, this might be a fun game for you. If you're an achievement hunter looking for a simple, challenging and frustrating game to spend a few minutes on, this game is [b]NOT[/b] for you. This game will [i]never[/i] let players gain 100 % achievements because the developer keeps adding new achievements during special events each year (like summer, Halloween, Christmas etc). S/he also keeps removing the triggers for the old achievements, without a possibility to gain them during the next event. Each new Christmas for example, simply get a new event with matching achievement to try for. The reason? Having old events just makes the gamesize too big. Also, the "time limited" achievements and items showing up during the "time limited" events will someday show up in real life as "time limited" items. This is just an awful trap for achievement hunters. Stay away from it.

Dolphin Swim is a 2D retro pixel endless runner that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. You guide a crappy retro pixel dolphin and make it swim up and down to avoid incoming underwater cave crap that doesn't exist in nature, etc etc. This is so bad it makes Flappy Bird look like the Mona Lisa. The game features obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked, so there's no way to improve the very poor visual quality or the control scheme. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash gr…

Игра "Dolphin Swim" – это удивительно расслабляющий и приятный опыт. Плавать в роли дельфина, исследовать подводный мир и выполнять акробатические трюки – это действительно весело. Графика достаточно простая, но красочная и хорошо передает атмосферу океана. Управление интуитивно понятное, быстро осваиваешься и начинаешь наслаждаться свободой движения под водой. Особенно понравилось взаимодействие с другими морскими обитателями. Можно играть с рыбами, проплывать сквозь косяки, и даже взаимодействовать с другими дельфинами. Задания не сложные, но разнообразные и мотивируют изучать новые области игрового мира. Единственное, чего немного не хватает, это более глубокого сюжета или дополнительных челленджей. Но в целом, "Dolphin Swim" – отличный способ расслабиться и отвлечься от повседневной суеты. Рекомендую всем, кто любит игры про животных и подводные приключения!

fire game but i hate dolphins

This is an odd one,as it can either be fairly relaxing,or maddeningly infuriating. You play as a dolphin that constantly swims forward,to change direction you just click the mouse,you can only change your diagonal angle though. The whole point of the game is to swim as far as you can without crashing into walls for a highscore. There are three difficulties: 1:Slow and easy,good for chillin'. 2:Moderately difficult,may make some people flip their lids,but is manageable with focus. 3:NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM [Don't know if it's even possible,great for rage gaming.] So the difficulty can significantly change your experience. I'll say here that the interface could be a bit better,it took me a while to figure out that the tiny roman numerals at the top-left was the difficulty. The game has a dorky,but cute artstyle,and there are occasional events that will change the look up a bit. My only complaint here is that while you and the foreground are always moving,the background grid does not, depending on how you have your eyes focused this could lead to some mild momentary dizziness. [at least for me] There's no real music,but everytime you turn,some sounds play...which ends up soundin…
