About SHARK! SHARK!
SHARK! SHARK!®
Inspired by the legendary SHARK! SHARK!® game released in its original version for the Intellivision® home console in 1982, this reimagined version for up to four players offers you a modern and addictive gameplay, fantastic graphics, great sounds, lots of levels and many underwater characters. In addition you are also able to play the old original Intellivision® SHARK! SHARK!® from 1982. Please enjoy SHARK! SHARK!® from today and from the past!
You are a very ambitious little fish … surrounded by the gulping underwater crowd! These are nasty, sneaky, big-mouthed aquatic devils that would swallow you up in no time … plus the real-slick, fast-turning sharks and other enemies as well that just love keeping you in their stomachs. But you´re smarter … and sly-mouthed too! … and why let them DEVOUR you?
In SHARK! SHARK!® you control a fish! Your goal is to earn as many points as possible while staying alive. Swimming in the ocean with you are other fish of various sizes, lobsters, crabs, jellyfish, kraken, puffer fish, orca, electric eel, and a very fast shark. You are able to eat any fish that is smaller in size than you are, and any fish that is larger will eat you! The shark can also be defeated if you nibble at its tail several times, but be careful for the shark can turn quickly. And be also aware of the lobster, crab, kraken, puffer fish, orca, and the electric eel. Each time you eat a fish or nibble on the shark´s tail, points are earned. When some shells on the bottom open, you have to be quick and collect the pearls inside. Each time you score, your fish will grow larger in size allowing you to eat even more of the fish on the screen.

Wanted to love this and experience it with my kids but it’s basically unplayable given that any controller at any time can just send you back to the menu system with an errant face button press. You can tell the devs simply threw this over the PC fence with barely a consideration of usability and X input controls13 found this helpful
Way overpriced for what it's worth. There's about 40 mins of content for a $20 game. It's just slow feeding frenzy with way less content. Refunded.4 found this helpful
I have a long history with this game. It could have been amazing, but it falls short. No doubt you will see others notice the lack of the Dash feature. Happily, I have an Intellivision Sprint, so I can play the real deal there. I would only get it if you have no other way to enjoy this game.2 found this helpful
Amazing! Absolutely Amazing! This one has spirit to it, and it has a wholesome peace filled influence. A must have for a true family experience together due to 4 players option. Also for those of us who have grown up with the original.1 found this helpful
Great game to relax and have fun with friends.
I've only played it for a few minutes for now but I can already say that it's almost the perfect remake of "Shark! Shark!". The controls, gameplay, graphics and music are really good! Bravo! The fact that it also includes the 1982 original game makes it a must-have for any "Shark! Shark!" fan! It would be perfect if we could rename from "Player 1" to a different name before starting a game and, since the main attraction to this game and Astrosmash, to me, is the in-game leaderboard, I really wish they update it and have more than the top 6 players showing as it is currently the case. But at least they do have a leaderboard because if I remember correctly, the Amico version was not going to have one at all, so I'm really happy they included one, I just wish it was more extensive.
