Dolphin Olympics: Ecco, meet Tony Hawk
A Flash game by Alan Rawkins, Dolphin Olympics will make you think of Ecco the Dolphin meshed with simplified stunts akin to the Tony Hawk series (or even the old SNES game, Uniracers). You have two minutes to build as much speed as you can to jump higher out of the water. Each time you leap, use the arrow keys to flip forward, backward, or spin. The more tricks you pull off in mid-air, the more points you get when you hit the water. Your re-entry into the sea is extremely important, as one false move and you'll lose your momentum. Gulping fish, earning fireworks, watching the sun set when you play in the evening, and leaping into the stars are all bonuses that make the game even more irresistible. It's relaxing until you get hooked, then you'll obsessively play until you jump over Jupiter. Play Dolphin Olympics.

You guys really need to bring back In the Flash.

best way to rack up points is low angle entries and tailslides to make huge combos.

lhasapso: I'm working on it. :-) Flash developers have been tough to get ahold of and interview in a timely fashion. In the Flash hasn't vanished.

I saw this game a while ago, and couldn't figure out how to combo things. But this guy sure did:
