Had a little problem because of not having the necessary libraries, but just in case anyone else gets an error asking for MSVCR110.dll, here you can find it: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 === Now, about the game. One thing for sure, first time I ever see not just a sand shark, but a shark that swims in reverse! The perspective, controls and the way the scenario rotates reminds me of an specific arcade game named Metal Hawk. But this one includes the natural badassery of a shark!
This is a really neat idea. I like the base mechanic but the skeletons kept spawning right on top of me most of the time, so I'd get instantly killed. The sharks "NOM" noise is great and I think you did a nice job with the theme.
Hey great game here ! The gameplay is very cool and Itried several time to beat my score.
The fact that we need the mouse at the titlescreen and the game over screen is also a little bit annoying... Maybe there is no need for a game over screen and the game could automatically restart (think Super Meat Boy). And I think that less rocks should be better, to make player movements easier.
However, it is a great entry, with great fun potential.

Have you seen this (or were inspired by this)?
