About Alpha Shark
As the Alpha Shark you must eat to survive and defend your territory from other sharks who may challenge you. This vibrant coral reef is full of mysteries and places to explore. In these nutrient rich waters, fish are boundless, but after a while you may simply wish to swim in the tranquil water and enjoy the scenery.
In screensaver mode the game will be in single player mode, locked in first-person (shark), the HUD will be disabled, and the sharks movement will become more static allowing the player to move around and create beautiful underwater screensavers.
This mode is similar to screensaver mode except the movement controls are now mouse-click driven in order to support the software called "Wallpaper engine" that players have requested / mentioned in the past.

I would ask for some features to be added, i may play this game another day, but its not as good right now, i want it so you can go up to beaches or islands and eat humans that are swiming, because i dont want to always be at the bottom of the ocean, id enjoy knifing on the surface of the water and eating humans3 found this helpful
I didn't expect much here. I love it. It was actually so relaxing to just.. be a shark. Swim around, glide.. eat. I walked away a few times when I was fed well and just let the game go and watched my shark between the chores, listening to the music and ocean. Totally recommend2 found this helpful
Just bought this game for my toddler, who loves sharks. The controls are very easy, and she has already started figuring them out. 10/10 for ease of playability, 10/10 for sharks.

Rather than presenting a traditional story-driven adventure with clear missions or a structured campaign, the game focuses on the fantasy of existing within the ocean as a powerful predator. Players are given the freedom to swim across a large underwater environment, hunt marine life, grow in strength, and compete with other sharks for control of the reef. The design philosophy behind the game leans heavily toward open-ended gameplay, allowing players to decide their own pace and goals while interacting with the ocean world in a way that feels both relaxed and occasionally intense. The central gameplay loop revolves around survival through feeding and territorial dominance. As the shark, players must constantly search for fish and other prey scattered throughout the reef in order to maintain their strength. Consuming marine creatures allows the shark to grow larger, reinforcing the sense that the player is rising to the top of the…
