I watched the release trailer on the I Am Dolphin YouTube channel That sounds good; quick varied fun. How do the controls work?
No no, thanks a lot though. I'll pick this one up, it's on sale after all. But how about those controls? Is it a V-stick or gesture or drag? Or another?
Its hard to explain - but 99% of people organically get connected to it. You swipe - its not a V-stick - and are connected to the animals "intention". The animal is a full biomechanical simulation. Its entirely physics driven. Like you - it has an intention - which you control, in cooperation with it. Its 2D - but the 3rd dimension is calculated with an Ai. So - you sort of swipe towards a fish to align to it, and then boost to kill. But the control gets much deeper. You will be able to anticipate in full 3D. But its limited to battle. You can move to kill any enemy, intercept, etc., but its not meant to just wander around. Again - its really hard to explain - but you will get passed the tutorial, and it will become clear. I can point you to some more vids if you like - and the promo is really no problem. I am very confident you will really like it - because everyone eventually does . A very small percentage struggle just a bit in the beginning but I've eased the levels and tutorial. My 2 year old niece mastered it - so I know you will as well.
Picked it up, enjoying it quite a bit so far! How much of a change to gameplay did the Tail stun ability create? Would be interested to learn how it was before. Controls work really well, the AI responds consistently how I wish it to. Can I unlock the other Dolphins through ulterior methods or do I just have to wait? Great game, and thanks for being so active
Ok this is my new favorite game, I can't recommend it enough! Playing on an iPhone 6+ and it looks absolutely beautiful. I'm around level 10 (the first blacktip battle), and I've failed probably 10 or 15 times ... getting that last Hit on the blacktip is tough, but I'm so loving the challenge! This is such a unique fighting game! A Crazy amount of love has been put into making this something special. The animation is amazing. No in-app purchases. More free updates planned. No reason not to jump onboard everyone.
...And,, I Just beat the blacktip shark and made it all the way to the Lemon shark! This game has some intense action! Just know: The more you play, the more things click and the better you get at it. Just a small side note, someone mentioned an auto screen orientation issue,, you may want to check this on iPhone 6+ as well.. It's not flipping for me at the moment.. But it's not stopping me from enjoying this gem!
I would say the tail bolt made it a bit easier, since before you had to rely only on reflexes and enemy pattern recognition, now you have a slight, very slight edge with thr bolt. But it also made it a bit harder in that the last fish in each stage, changes its pattern and becomes much more smart and aggressive. (Did others notice this?) Overall,just a very slight edge so far. simon and Zoey are time locked, use them once per those hours to finish a really difficult stage. Devs will work on more skins and cosmetic unlocks also!
meditative Meditative ... uhh the jump game (which is embedded in it to gain bolts).. maybe but the feeling after you kill a synthetic shark with a highly sophisticated Ai custom built to learn from you to kick your.... the feeling is more like
Thank you very kindly We will, very shortly, be branching off into new productions, including a part two. My plan is to do 4 titles by April - some are very small variants - like purely a jump game.
i have a great feeling of accomplishment since i managed to beat the 2 blue sharks in the red levels (something i never managed in version 1.0)
THats a very hard level - So that one has a little bit more "Ai" than the other levels. Its very dynamic - Sometimes I can nail it quickly - others they outsmart me. In the red cards - the sharks are very careful not to meet you head on where you have an advantage. They dart in and calculate their trajectories to bite you on the side - which occasionally can almost be unavoidable.
yeap, what i found was that you have to get the timing of tailbolt and turn right, this is what allowed me to beat a lot of stages up to here. Like, swipe to turn, and in a split fraction of a second before the dolphin starts to turn, you press bolt so you stun it for the millisecond it takes for the dolphin to turn and grab. also, it's one of the games where i have to remember to stop and breathe -it gets really intense!
