alright. im no man to study lunar activity and such, but a moon being 50 meters from the sea level sounds like a serious concern

Dear Dolphin,
I am writing to tell you that i am sorry about the mistreatment i have given you, so in return i will have dinner with you. THis wont be in any old restraunt though, this restraunt will be on the edge of the universe. You have 2 minutes to get here
Sincerely, Your owner

sorry
no RSPCA, I am not mistreating my dolphin.
I am teaching it to fly. It is his fault that he bellyflopped into the water from mars and is now dead.

I would come back to this game and keep getting a little better maybe once a year since 2007ish when it was featured, and I finally beat it today - awesome little game. :D

Finally got to the restaurant!! After all these years! It's at exactly 2000m, and I got to 1999.91. Luckily for me, the height checker rounded up. Otherwise, that would have been the saddest thing ever.

hehe... just crashed into the ground so hard i'm stuck and can't get back up, basically crippled my dolphin who is permanently stuck to the sea bed, music is still running.... i'm sorry you couldn't survived the atmospheric re-entry after going to venus.

here is an easier way 2 get 2 the restaraunt
first bulid up some serious speed by exiting the water at a 30 degree angle and entering in likewise. Forget about corkscrews and that crap. then when u have about 20 nice entries or a minute left, exit the water at a 60-70 degree angle.
Then when u reach space, shift into a 20-30 degree angle and START TO CORKSCREW if u pass a group if stars, starslide by corkscrewing into them and pressing up when u slide
once u have starslided 2 or 3 times, dive down into the water. begin to move up and corkscrew underwater at a 20 degree angle. When u reach the water, tailslide and immediatly press up. Then starslide at 20-30 degree angles until u reach saturn or neptune. Then, make one massive final dive to earth. exit 20-30 degree tailslide and press up. u will FRICKING FLY. make sure to starslide if u pass a group of stars. One you reach "new horizons" you are getting closer. Get this message to the top of the list and keep it alive!!!!

That moment when you reach above moon and you're like yes, finally I'm doing good.. and then tailslide and you lose the nice entry and everything else with it. ;-;

I really hate the fact that the water isn't deep enough. I'm sorry for making you jump into space dolphin. Please forgive me...

Hot Tip! Extension seen from a previous game are loaded up in the next one! For your first run, do a leisurely swim until you find a good chain of extensions, then restart, and in the next game you can start with a big speed boost!

Man, getting the impossible badge is mostly about pure reaction time...by the time you get to mars you pretty much have a fraction of a second to turn once you hit the ocean. Get up to jupiter and you have a fraction of a fraction (which would still be just a fraction, but w/e). There's gotta be some trick I'm not understanding, because I can't imagine anyone being able to react fast enough by the time they got to any appreciable height...

Maybe the water isn't actually shallow. Maybe space isn't that low. Maybe this dolphin really is a mile long? Food for thought.

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 :(

Obviously, your not teaching it to fly, it already knows how. You are helping him to escape the planet, before it gets blown up for the interstellar bypass....

I may confirm other comments: getting to the Restaurant is a little random. You can hop off starslides instantly, hit 20 Nice Entries; I had a metric ton of Extensions and then Starslided sideways haphazardly. // Start with a vertical jump + corkscrew. // A forty-five degree jump (diagonal) // tailslide (read manual) // Use a 30 degree (half diagonal) then 20 very shallow horizon jumps, entering in such a way as to make a smooth curve with your nose. // You need a Reversal too. // Rack up combo; you should be looking at about 8 different tricks, about a paragraph's worth. Exit 45 degrees (DIAGONAL), and through Extension (preferably). // One starslide per planet past Mars. Face sideways. Starslide: press down, and then press up immediately, then repeat if you hit the same starslide. // Land, hold a directional key, up and down the second you breach the water. As you tailslide, instantly press Up; face sideways. Hit a starslide on the way up to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

This game is addictive as hell. I have felt every emotion during my playthrough, from despair to ecstasy but there's no better feeling than finally getting to that diner and seeing the impossible badge unlock. I had a great time playing this the first time in 2010 and now, I finally beat it. Much love to the devs.

Five years later I come back and revisit a game of my childhood in attempts of finally getting this bloody impossible achievement.

Yay, got the BOTD at last (travel 100 metres horizontally). This is how I got it. Repeatedly exit the water at around 20-30 degrees to the horizontal, and get a good entry back into the water each time (takes some practice). This allows the build up of a fair horizontal velocity. Then get lucky and travel through a hoop at a good horizontal velocity. Weird planet this dolphin lives on...

"Houston, we've got a problem.."
"Yes???"
"I.. I think I just saw a dolphin.."
"You saw what!?"
"A dolphin just flew by. Oh! Wait! I see it's going back down again. Yup. Def. a dolphin."

I'm playing this yet again 15 years later (<3) and it's feeling like the impossible badge truly is impossible. every guide I see suggests tailsliding out of the water, but they basically kill all my speed no matter what. did part of the game break after 2020 or is there something I'm missing?

Good game. Reaching the restaurant is nearly impossible with the sea really not being deep enough. Even if i curve right / left right after entering the sea, i still can hit the bottom.

Hmmmm? moon is 50 meters from top of ocean. Mars is 150 and I am trying to get to the restraunt orbiting earth all by jumping out of 20 feet of water......
yep logic
