Fat Shark is a cute but challenging survival arcade title that incorporates humor into its gameplay. Players take control of a perpetually famished shark that scales in size — and slowness — as it devours more fish, leading to a hilarious risk-reward mechanic. The one-tap controls are easy to learn but become more demanding as your shark fills your fill, and they are super satisfying to master. Complete with jovial visuals and ridiculous shark animation, the game is a light-hearted romp that slowly ramps up the challenge as players have to manage their growth against their survival.

How To Play Fat Shark:

Use in-game taps and clicks to guide your shark toward fish clusters while dodging circled bombs. In the beginning, your shark’s primary activity is eating as much food as possible to grow quickly, but once you know you’re too big, you have to play it safe—strategizing how you can swim around bombs now that you’re slower. Good positioning is the secret to high scores — if you can guess bomb drift patterns and create safe feeding zones, then and even let those smaller fish escape every so often, which provides the mobility you need for critical escapes in the late game, where your gigantic shark is suddenly very easy prey!
