Defend your moonbase from the alien armada in Rocket Assault, a retro-remake of the Atari classic missile command. I’ve been working on this game on and off for a few months and have finally finished it off. Enjoy!
I have received a lot of emails from people saying that Dolphin Olympics 2 is no longer working for them. If you are in the same boat, here are a few things to try:
Also, it has been brought to my attention that the game does not work in Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista. If you are using Windows Vista, try playing the game in Firefox.
Skilled flipper Hempick has posted a video of a 233 point run in DO2. SPOILER WARNING: This run hits some of the furthest reaches of space. If you haven’t made it up there yet and don’t want to know what’s up there, don’t watch the video.
Update: The video is now also viewable in-game, under ‘How to Play’, on the 4th page.
I’ve recorded and posted 38 million point run in Dolphin Olympics 2. This is the first time I’ve done a video on youtube so the quality is a little low, but hopefully the maneuvers are clear enough. I was lucky on this run in that I started right on an extension, but I don’t think that had a massive impact on the final score. You can see the big boost to the points comes from getting to the really high planets, and mixing up a lot of tricks to get your multiplier as high as possible.
This wasn’t a perfect run either, so there’s lots of room for improvement (which is reflected on the high score chart; I didn’t come close to placing top 10). There’s more stuff to get to in space, and I didn’t finish with a big tailslide or starslide, which can help a lot.

There have been a lot of bug fixes in Dolphin Olympics 2 over the past few days, including some changes to how the game controls and how points are scored. To keep an even playing field, I’m going to reboot the scoreboard soon, probably later on today or tomorrow. Apologies to anyone who has worked hard to get onto the top ten, but I’m sure you can do it again, right?
Dolphin Olympics 2 is ready for consumption. The game is still tentatively under development, and no doubt the high score chart will need to be rebooted before long, but otherwise it’s pretty much good to go.
Jayisgames.com have posted their top casual games of 2006, and nominated Dolphin Olympics in the action/arcade category! It’s a big honour to see it in there alongside those other games, all of them are extremely cool. A big congratulations to all of the winners.
Personal high scores should be saving properly now in Dolphin Olympics.
It turns out the problems with the scoreboard and page access in Dolphin Olympics were/are due to issues with my hosting provider. I hope to have them resolved soon.
Update: All fixed. The high scores should be working again.
Somehow the game was taken offline again by someone or something other than myself. The high score chart access is also malfunctioning. I am looking into the cause; in the meantime I have uploaded a backup copy of the game. You should be able to play but unable to submit scores to the high score database.
