### 5/5 — Winter

*2026-01-15, version 1.1*

I pretend to be winter from dolphin tail

### 5/5 — Best dolphin game ever

*2025-11-22*

It’s a little confusing when you first start the game, but you get used to it. You can also find other dolphins to add to your pod and then get babies. You can also change your color and when you jump out of the water, it’s really cool. You should definitely get this game if you love dolphins.

### 3/5 — I like this game, but there’s a few problems

*2025-11-11*

This game is fun, but the dolphin is always flapping it’s tail around Which I don’t like And it said that you could see mermaids, and I’ve been looking around for quite a while, and I haven’t seen a single thing except for things that can hurt me The quality is kind of low evening when you put it to high when you go down with the joystick it goes up and when you go up with the joystick, it goes down

### 3/5 — A fun game, a few complaints tho

*2025-07-28*

When i was younger, i used to play orca simulator all the time. Ive been playing that game for a while, and i just got this one. Doesnt bring back as much nostalgia, but it is a fun game for the most part. There are a few things i am not a fan of tho. The main thing is that your dolphin automatically goes forward. I can see why some people would like this feature, but i would rather just use a joystick to move my dolphin manually. Second, the animals are just too weak. Im level 6 right now, yet i can easily defeat a full grown orca.

### 5/5 — Amazing game but some kind of funny thing…

*2025-03-08*

Well I saw a puffer fish but when I killed it it let me eat it but it went underneath the sand…

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2025-01-26, version 1.1*

Simple this game is good
However there are some things that are weird that need to be fixed
1:orcas and sharks are everywhere and its annoying
2:the other 2 dolphin mates I cannot find so put them in the same area as the 1st one
3:remove mermaids 
4:debuff octopus,anglerfish and blue sharks
5:buff mates
6:add wild dolphins
7:add whales and hammerhead sharks
Finally:add shark color varients

### 5/5 — Dolphins 🐬

*2024-11-28*

My dolphin has other dolphins for the pod!!!!!!! Cool! But, when you battle the megladon and the king crab, can you make the music be less scarier?

### 5/5 — I love dolphins and This game!! GlutenFree games plz! Read!!!!!!

*2024-08-08*

I love dolphins this game looks very interesting well I haven’t played this game when it came out because I was a infant when this game came out, but I have been playing since the year 2023. I got a whole bunch of the ultimate animal simulators and other glutenFree games animal simulators. I defeated the megaleon shark and the big boss crab many times. I would recommend any Gluten Free game simulators for animal lovers, and people who want to experience lives as different animals!!! I heard there is gonna be some more gluten free game simulators coming out soon… I experienced the life of a dolphin and I got to level 100.

Thank you for reading my review!

### 1/5 — No

*2024-04-17, version 1.1*

From the weird, low-quality glitches and graphics to the depressing art of killing orcas, some of my favorite animals, it’s quite safe to say 5 words…

Do not get this app.

### 5/5 — Dolphins 🐬

*2023-11-12*

My 🐬 is loveable. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ just like the one on tasty blue. This is the only 🐬 that can eat a 🦈. But it will be better if you made the 🧜‍♀️s friendlier.
