Welcome to Dolphin Life, a browser-based fighting game. Click play, wait a moment for it to load, and you are in. Dolphin Life is a duel. Two fighters, one arena, and a health bar that only goes one way. Spacing, timing and nerve decide who walks away. From the tags you can already tell that there is no final level; the game continues until you fail, and distance or score is the goal.
About Dolphin Life
Embark on an unforgettable aquatic adventure in "Dolphin Life," where you take on the role of a lively dolphin navigating through an ocean filled with debris and pollution. Your mission is simple yet exhilarating: survive as long as you can while dodging various items like banana peels, oil barrels, and aluminum cans that invade your underwater habitat. As you swim through
The genre lives on a clear rhythm of attack and defence, distinct characters or fighters and rounds and rematches. Dolphin Life understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Under the surface it is a test of execution and spacing, dressed up in intense presentation.
How to play Dolphin Life
- Start by clicking the big play button. Dolphin Life loads inside the frame; give it a moment, especially on a slow connection.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. The developer describes the controls like this: Use the Touch or Mouse to move up left side of the screen and down right side of the screen
- Learn to block and move before you try combos. A fighter who cannot be hit is halfway to winning.
- When you are comfortable, set a target: a score to beat, a level to clear or a time to shave. Small goals are what make Dolphin Life stick.
Controls
Here is how Dolphin Life is controlled, based on the developer's instructions and our own testing:

|---|---|
| Mouse | Use the Touch or Mouse to move up left side of the screen and down right side of the screen. |

The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
Tips and tricks
- Pick one character and one simple combo and repeat it until it is automatic. Consistency wins far more than variety.
- Rematch after a loss immediately. Fighting game skill is muscle memory, and it builds fastest while the previous round is still fresh.
- Learn to block before you learn to combo. A player who cannot be hit cannot lose, and everything else follows from that.
- Jumping is a commitment. Do it to escape or to surprise, never as a default movement.
Who will enjoy it
