I found it way too hard though, never made it past 60%. Still enjoyed playing it for quite a while though just because the mechanics of controlling the dolphin felt really nice. Maybe if the dash made you invincible as well it would be a bit easier. Still had fun with it, good work!

But its just too difficult as it is now. You dont have enough time to adjust to incoming rocks and bubble vents. It took me many tries to even break 50% and I felt there was a lot of luck involved.

\nSome of the obstacles were super tricky like a geyser appearing right before a mine, making it hard to jump.
\nThe SPACE didn’t always dash, sometimes it just put a white border around the dolphin but didn’t make it any faster

The swinging movement feels very smooth and natural, but it requires quite a lot of practice to get right. Because of the bubble which surrounds the dolphin while dashing, I first thought it would make me temporarily immortal—consequently I died a lot :)
\nThe story is abstract in the best possible meaning of the word. Cool dolphins count to 20? Sure, why not! There’s a see without 13? Of course!
\nNice work transforming “13” into a sad face. I also liked how you avoided having a separate tutorial or how-to-play level, and instead incorporated it into the main game.

\nthe idea is innovative, the cutscene is showing effort spent on it , the randomness of the mines and towers are not too friendly tried dozzen times but mostly got impossible situations right away it kind of like fly dragon fly without the swoosh aint no realy controlling it as u wish.
\nthe js13k cloud in main scene is kind of cool, drawing of main dolphin is very graphical idk if its a spritesheet or code generated but i liked it.
\ni checked the code, interesting idea yet I see your overall size is less than 7k witout any roadrolling or gc consider making things interesting more you have the space for it its not js7k

\nA bit hard in my opinion, I didn’t really manage to master the jumps. Maybe a little tutorial or slow motion start would have helped to completely grasp the controls.\nIt goes really fast and I wasn’t sure what to do in the game :) (apart from dying lol)
\nPretty cool submission though, the mechanics are somewhat addictive and you want to try again

\nThe colors between obstacles and the sea are too close. Controls are very responsive though, and the music is nice.

You should call .preventDefault() on all keyboard events to prevent this.
A very cute infinite-runner style dolphin game. I found it to be tweaked too hard, and the constant up/down swim of the dolphin was difficult to deal with. I also wish the theme were integrated into the gameplay. But overall a lovely looking game with clear goals that even has music! Great job.

Finally a “flappy bird” that tries something different :)The game is quite hard but fun. I couldn’t reach the end after playing for quite some time, so I’m curious what the end looks like.
