The game itself play alright, but it's just really... boring and not that fun. There isn't any real motivation to keep playing multiple levels. After winning about the first five I really got bored and couldn't keep going.

The background and art work is nice, but there were some things that need to be improved on. The green sides of the background were really out of place. I don't recommend that their there and it would have been much better if you just kept the water background across the entirety of the back screen.

Also, some of the fish just swim to the end of the screen and just disappear. They should swim off of the screen to make things more fluid. At the end of the day, other than the fish theme this really really has nothing to do with dolphins and/or fish and it's a huge stretch. I would have worked out a better theme for this game.

Like your other game, there is no restart button. Not that I needed one because of the simplicity and ease of the game, but I let this play while writing a review and realized that if someone does lose they have to refresh the entire screen to play again.

The audio was alright, but needs to be toned down and their needs to be some ambient background music to go along with everything.

powerful and moving

The narrative following this game is shocking but gripping - this heartfelt call to arms against the horrific situation Echo's people and other aquatic neighbors face against the cruel ignorance of the human race and their destructive and selfish habits really struck a chord with me - it was so sad to see Echo's young daughter suffocated by discarded fishing twine, and Echo's rape at the hands of criminal Orcas in the dangerous water she was forced to migrate through; I've been truly moved to tears from the stark and gritty way that the terrible plight of Echo and her kind has been presented. Not since Watership Down has there been a more eye-opening presentation on the state of animal cruelty and habitat destruction in the world today.
Echo's eventual arrival in the idyllic Sunshine Reef is a major relief for me - but what wil become of the corrupt cost-cutting governor and hasty plans for an off-shore oil-rig? Somehow I imagine that Echo's story is far from over.

This game has inspired me to do my part to prevent global warming - after I post this review I will recycle my computer and monitor, then shoot myself in the head to prevent further damage to nature.

Ahh

An age old concept with a new background and balls. I did enjoy it, it just needed a pauze button.
