To call this game "mediocre" would be fairly accurate. It has numerous flaws, the biggest one being that there's no obvious way out of "free swim" other than to reload the entire page. That, combined with what seems like no actual story and no motivation to even play makes this a very sub-par game.

I got the fish badge 11 years ago. Each time this game comes up for botd I spend some time trying to do it again, and I never can.

Oh, some of the guys are mentioning the Restaurant at the End of the Universe in the comments section. Obviously, it's an allegory of (as the whole game) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Second book from the trilogy is called Restaurant at the end of the universe. Also, in the novel dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on the Earth (much more intelligent than humans, but still lagging behind the rats.
Finally, may I'm misunderstood completely, but I guess it makes sense

Seems nice entries are the way to build up speed at first, having trouble getting double nice entries. At 93/100 for achievement.

Too random, too little "progress", in-game improvements don't seem to make a lot of sense...Interesting concept, though.

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around you
So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish
The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed

How to get the Shark Jumper Badge:
1. Keep doing the "Nice Entry" trick until you reach a high speed.
2. Now just make a jump with a right angle!

@Wolfy291, best way is to start by getting as much fish to follow you and then breach the water. You can still use the same fish if you get to them accurately and quickly enough after breaching. So get like 2-5 and start building your points and momentum by breaching, get more fish and be awarded the "Schools out" score. Once you have a pretty fast momentum, use the rings for speed boosts and go up up up and away.

Every time this game gets BOTD I am reminded of my failings as a gamer. I once jumped high enough to see the restaurant, but not quite high enough to trigger it :(

1/5 what exactly is the point or goal of this game? i clicked on 'free swim' mode; didnt know what i expected, but there is no way to get back to the main menu from there, or at least any method that im aware of. gotta refresh the page and try again... so now i clicked on 'start game' and i see that this is a high score game. this game definitely isnt for me; i like having some form of progression and there isnt much substance to this game. music and graphics are bland and i imagine, without some guide, the impossible badge is just something too obscure to actually find out. 1/5 could not enjoy this game; cant believe that a sequel was made of this type of game.
