Be a Shark!

Dive into the deep blue ocean where survival is all about being the biggest and meanest shark in the water. You start off as a modest-sized predator, but every fish you snap up helps you pack on the pounds, letting you take on more dangerous prey and carve your way through the food chain. The current is always changing, and the ocean is filled with creatures that see you as a meal rather than a friend. Your journey takes you through a series of increasingly tricky stages, each one packed with more obstacles and fiercer rivals. Killer whales lurk in the shadows, and other sharks may challenge your dominance. The action is relentless, and each bite you take brings you closer to becoming the undisputed ruler of the deep. With simple controls and a growing sense of power, this game offers a satisfying loop of hunt, grow, and survive.

What is Be a Shark!

You're not just any fish in the sea—you're a shark with an appetite. Hunt down your prey, grow bigger, and own the ocean.

How to Play

Use the mouse or touch controls to steer your shark through the water. Swim into fish that are smaller than you to eat them, but avoid anything that is larger if you want to keep on hunting.

Tips for Playing

Stay in shallow waters early on to find smaller fish and grow quickly.
Watch the patterns of larger predators and time your movements to slip past them.
Don't go after prey that's too big—know your limits and pick fights you can win.
When a killer whale appears, don't panic; find a clear line and swim away smoothly.
Eating fish in a steady rhythm increases your size faster than rushing into danger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the goal in Be a Shark!?

The goal is to eat fish and grow from a small shark into the largest predator in the ocean, all while avoiding creatures that are bigger than you.

How do I control the shark?

You control the shark by moving your mouse or dragging on a touch screen to steer it through the water.

What happens if I touch a bigger predator?

Touching a larger predator, like a killer whale, ends your run, so you need to avoid them or grow enough to outmatch them.

Can I eat any fish I see?

No, you can only eat fish that are smaller than you. If a fish is bigger, you'll need to grow first or avoid it completely.

Is there an end to the game?

The game continues with progressively harder levels, challenging you to survive longer and grow bigger. There’s no final boss; the challenge is to keep going.

Does the game have any upgrades?

The game focuses on growth through eating rather than upgrades. Your shark naturally becomes more powerful as you get bigger.
