Great, Classic Atari Fun
Look: 8/10 Like always, I lovvvve the Activision sunset background vibe. And the sprites are functional and make sense. Great, classic Atari colors and look.
Sound: 9/10 The sound is not only good, that good Atari 2600 sound, but also critical to the gameplay. Lower pitch means the opening will be below, higher pitch means the opening will be higher. …

Sound: 9/10 The sound is not only good, that good Atari 2600 sound, but also critical to the gameplay. Lower pitch means the opening will be below, higher pitch means the opening will be higher. Even the sound of running into the wave arrows is great too. Great stuff.
Play: 8/10 Tight controls, simple gameplay, fun and pick-up-and-play-able. Cool idea to have the pitch of the sound tell you where the opening is--luckily I love music and sound, so even the more intricate differences seemed to correspond with where the opening is. Finally! After 2 gameovers, I finally was able to catch one of the seagulls mwahah, was fun killing the squid rather than running from it heh.
Feel: 8/10
This gets a slight boost cuz I love dolphin-themed media heh. Also for managing to make an otherwise simple Atari action game special with that sound aspect. Even tho I knew I could get a higher score, and had lives left, I stopped at this point. I had fun playing it, for sure! I just didn't love it enough to want to keep striving for a higher and higher score. 
Attachment: 8/10 I definitely will be showing this to my brothers, and I wont forget it--an early dolphin-focused game. Who would have thought camels and dolphins would have games this early heh. This is a great pick-up-and-play and try-for-high-score game whenever I'm in the mood for those. This'll likely boost to a 5 star if I ever think to replay it.
