Yes. Tactical Military Dolphin Wrecking Insanity indeed.

This is my first Ludum Dare and i’ll be joining the “light” Jam for i have no stomach for the Compo.

Delph Ops is an Arcade Bullet Hell. You control a torpedo-launcher-equiped dolphin. A lone soldier in the fight against countless waves (WAVES CAUSE WE’RE IN THE SEA) of enemy ships and submarines.

The best way to explain the mechanics is: Ecco the Dolphin meets Luftrausers. Needless to say, both games are my main inspirations for this one.

You control the Dolphin hero with WASD/Arrows and shoot your torpedos by pointing and clicking. The Torpedos have a small delay and arc, so targeting must be done with timing.

Just like in Ecco, you can perform a leap to the surface that gets stronger the faster you move. Performing a leap is required in order to take down Ships and, in case there is any time left, blimps!

You die with a single hit. Also, hitting ships straightforward will kill you. Enemies have varying HP.

Now i’m doing the intro menu before i forget and/or get way too desperate.

Hope you folks like it! I’ll be posting it this sunday afternoon @GMT-3 ( Brazil )
