I'm oddly nostalgic about this little guy.
This is Dontrel the dolphin, a piece of art brought to you by jujai a one-man studio.
You won't find many games if you're looking for them becourse he was harassed by trolls year after year for a whole decade due to the less than favorable graphics and sound design when it was discovered for the first time on SomethingAwful and then later played on Gaming Garbage, a youtube channel dedicated to awful games and operated by the owner of the site.
It's truly amazing how a terribly-looking game can get such attention. It reminds me of how Chris Chan's comic became legendary, but it seems theres no good ending in sight for Dontrel, nobody likes the games while a couple folks like the sonichu comic I reckon.

Some work has been put into archiving some versions of the game....
but there were so many versions that not all of them are avalable on the wayback machine.
I'm hoping by making this post I get to help recover the lost pieces of this historical surreal series.
