About

Side-scrolling action game where you control a dolphin navigating ocean environments. After a waterspout abducts your pod, you swim through increasingly hostile waters—dodging jellyfish, outmaneuvering sharks, solving sonar-based puzzles to open passages. The core loop: explore labyrinthine levels, maintain your air supply by surfacing or finding air pockets, and use echolocation to map routes and communicate with marine life. The story escalates from coastal waters to Arctic depths, then into Atlantean ruins and eventually a confrontation with an alien race harvesting Earth's oceans. Death comes fast—hostile creatures, drowning, dead-end mazes. No hand-holding: you'll backtrack, get lost, and retry difficult sections. Suits players who want unforgiving exploration with a bizarre sci-fi premise underneath its marine setting.
