I swam into the middle of this small pond, I noticed more animals around the pond, one extremely tall creature extended its tall neck down down down to where I was, another animal that was stripy with black and white trotted into the water, yet refusing to go to deep, then, finally one spoke it was the vulture I saw first, it said “me oh my what fish is that!?” In a male voice, then the tall creature responded “I’ve seen many fish, but not one with such size.” The spotted cat asked “it seems to be an animal like us, it should speak our language. Can someone ask it what it is?” Then someone with a deep voice said “ little-erm, big fish, what are you? What species?” I looked at its mane, it was wrapped around its neck, it seemed like the largest cat I’ve seen! Then again it said “ ahem, what. Are. You? What. Species. Are you?” Finally I spoke. “ I- I am a d-dolphin, I normally live in the sea.” Then the cat said feel free to make yourself at home! I did, but then.. a helicopter came, with a tank hanging from it, the rest of the creatures ran away, once the tank was underwater it opened up. I went in, curiously then the helicopter 🚁 lifted me into the sky, then after an hour or two, I was back in the sea! ### 4/5 — Can you please make a... *2021-04-06* I love all of your games and I thought you might make a killer whale ### 5/5 — Figured it out! *2020-10-31, version 1.1* So, guys this is so cool! I know that it’s hard to find other dolphins. I found one! So go to the skulls on the map and go inside! ### 5/5 — A sad dolphin story🐬 *2020-10-24, version 1.1* It started of with a dolphin named river who found a mate name Ike. They spent only 2 weeks until a orca game snatched River and pin her to the ground “HELP IKE!!!” River screamed another orca game and pin Ike to the ground holding him from help River. The other orca started bite River’s take in front of Ike he screamed and cried. Then the orca ripped off her tail and bite her head off. Ike never saw River again. THE END (sorry if you cried it was a true story in the game) ### 4/5 — To meny *2020-10-03, version 1.1* To Meny enemy’s it is fun but to scary please take out some enemies please please please ### 5/5 — Brilliant Game *2020-09-25* Dolphins like me and I like Dolphins.

I said, Swim away! I’ve got this. But he didn’t. He swam and swam and soon found a small opening and got in.

One problem with it tho is that sometimes the marine life floats in mid air and attacks you but you can’t get it back. Don’t get me wrong I love this game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — 😡 *2022-02-26, version 1.1* This game is the worst! ### 1/5 — It sucks *2019-12-24, version 1.1* I really hate this why cross body? ### 1/5 — Can I have my money back lol *2018-02-17, version 1.0* Um so it's not the best game I've played. Many of your other simulators are good but I didn't like the controls nor the quality on this simulator. Sorry. Can I have my dollar back please? ### 1/5 — a big PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2016-09-29, version 1.0* YOU HAVE TO ADD A JOYSTICK PEOPLE! I CANT EVEN CONTROL MY DOLPHIN so ADD A JOYSTICK!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡👿👿👿👿👿👿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿😾😾😾😾😾😾😾 ### 2/5 — No joystick *2019-10-25, version 1.1* So I know I love dolphins but there’s no joystick you know like on the other games but it’s really not a game if there’s no joystick I’m not talking about this 🕹 I’m talking about the circle thing with another sir lie in it and you take the circle in it and your animal moves I don’t have a joystick😭so when I went to fight king crab 🦀 I found my mate I bonded and she was stuck in a cage I couldn’t get her out so I back flipped I was in the cage then Im stuck in the cage with her so in the cage many you cold make a opening ### 2/5 — Ok... *2016-09-06, version 1.0* I'm a little disappointed with the movement quality and too many animals to kill you is really frustrating but in all its ok but don't waste your money people I'm saving you 1.40 👍 ### 2/5 — Poor graphics, I want my money back *2016-06-23* I'm disappointed with how basic these graphics look and I wish I hadn't purchased it. Especially compared to great free games like Hungry Sharks. Also, the game play is awful. I think these other reviews were paid for. I want my money back. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Really good game for dolphin lovers! *2023-07-27* Love it all, I’ve had a few real life experiences with dolphins. 💕In this game, game says it all in title…you are a dolphin fighting for survival. You can have a family, discover new locations, eat to survive etc. Get this game without hesitation. ### 5/5 — SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! *2021-11-27, version 1.1* I love this game!! There are sharks and orcas to tease! I love how you can do flips in the air! I really like that you can jump over land forms………. although, when I jump onto land hiding from the orcas, they can just follow me up there and kill me unlike other sea creatures. But other than that it is awesome!! I really recommend getting this app! ### 5/5 — I am sorry but too easy to lvl up? *2021-09-10, version 1.1* PLZ I LOVE THIS GAME CAN YOU MAKE A Ultimate 🐬 SIM PLZZZZ and there’s this thing where you go on land and do filps etc And YIU GTE TO LVL 100 IN SECONDS! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
