SHARK! SHARK! - FREE GAME
HIDE THE MERMAID EGGS FROM THE SHARKS
HIDE THE MERMAID EGGS FROM THE SHARKS
A mixture of a strategy / puzzle game.
Start out with 12 eggs and 2 sharks. For each level there’s one more shark. The sharks are going to swim across the screen and your job is to place the eggs out of their way so that they don’t eat them. The objective is to see how many of the 12 eggs you still have left by the end of level 12. Lose all the eggs and it’s game over. The objects are randomly placed and the sharks swim for an object. So each time you play you’re going to see a different route and the objects on different places. Because it’s random you could get an easy level where all the sharks converge on the same spot or a difficult level where there’s really no place they aren’t going to swim and you’ll need the shop items to protect an egg. It’s easy to have just one egg left, but if you challenge yourself to have 12 eggs left, you’ll find this game engaging.
Type of Game: Strategy / Puzzle
Levels: 12
Difficulty Settings: 3, it determines how much time you have to place your eggs before the sharks arrive and how fast they swim. With a GO button so that you don’t have to wait for the timer to run out. Level 1 is relaxed easy play lots of time, level 3 you have to be quick.
Time per level: A few minutes, depending on the level you play and how quick you are. Approximately 2 to 6 minutes per level.
Price: Completely free, no limits
Music: 2 different tracks can be toggled on and off direct from the game. Music doesn’t play on shop screens or menu screens so that you could leave the game at that point (pause) and you won’t have non-stop game music playing in the background.
Sound Effects: Sound when shark encounters egg and level end and using shop items. Cannot be turned off. If you want this feature, ask, I’ll code it in.
Game Saves: No, it’s rather short there’d be no point in game saves.
Game is packaged with an installer that will create a desktop icon for you. It comes with an uninstaller as well. The game does not write any registry entries, the installer only writes install and uninstall information nothing else.
Tested and working on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Warning: Game created for screen resolution 1024 x 768. If your screen resolution is set lower you would have to manually set it to this resolution before running the game. There is a toggle between window & full screen but since it’s created almost full screen there’s not much difference in size when pressed. It’s recommended to play it in full screen if your resolution is set to 1024 x 768. It’s a nice window size if your screen resolution is set to 1280 x 1024 and I wouldn’t recommend full screen for this resolution (not necessary anyway). Game will open in full screen mode with an immediate option to switch to window mode.

SHARKS
The arrows are pointing out some of the objects that the sharks are swimming towards. Each shark has his own object. Arrows are NOT in the game. You have to spot the objects yourself.
