The last gigantic great white one is rumoured to have been vaporized in the late 70s. But you're about to face a reborn of a legendary beast.
Satisfy your hunger for blood and destruction.

The game is a tribute to Jaws. Obviously.

Controls:
WASD - Move
Space - Attack/Bite

Simple steps to better massacre:
1. Eat people to satisfy your blood hunger (you need to keep your blood hunger meter high in order to stay alive, yep kinda weird).
2. Ram simple boats and they'll drop people (military boats do not drop people).
3. Taking bullets increases your blood hunger.

//Update
Just added web builds without any changes in mechanic

Cool game. I love games about Sharks. It was a nice touch that the audio got muffled when you went underwater.

Loved it! I wanted to make a game like this but you guys have shown me how its done. The graphics, music and sfx were top notch.

I liked the audio and the graphics, great job! The only thing that ruined it for me was the controls. It felt a bit jittery controlling the shark.

visual and idea is great but the controls... buaaah. Also when leaving water at low angle the sharks starts flying. 10/10

Hahahahaha! Awesome! One small request: Please release a post-jam version with some better controls. I'm having too much fun with this.

Love it! Very good graphics, excellent throwback music, fun to watch the gory effects. My only complain is that the controls are a little weird. I don't understand why I can't simply rotate the shark by tiny taps of the keyboard rather than having him rotate by set degrees. This made it a lot tougher for me to aim at people to eat, resulting in mindless thrashing back and forth while I tried to get at them. Other than that, great fun!

A nice simple concept that was executed nicely. The shark looks good and the little people look ... good enough to eat. It does make me wonder though - what are all those people doing out in the middle of the ocean?

Fantastic Jam Game, scored 9650 on the web version and wow, the graphics were lovely, the sfx and , it all just matched up really well! Good use of a couple of game mechanics honed down really nicely!

Although the exact controlling is a bit tricky, it's very satisfying to munch people and destroy boats. Great mood too. Well done.

Fun game. Controls were a bit difficult to control though, and I think I found glitch: if you exit the water at slight angle while eating the shark just flies out of the water and you can control him in the air - aaahh! a flying shark (sharknado?)

Great game! The screaming is really realistic! Very cool game! Polished quite well!

Graphics and music is cool but the controls could be better. Anyway, nice entry:)

Fun game. I liked the controls. The little blood on the surface of the water detail was very cool. I would have liked more kinds of boats to chomp though.

Took me a minute to get used to the controls but once I did I was chompin' people left and right!

Pretty fun and gory but it gets kinda repetitive and boring after a while. More enemies / people to eat, something more to do under the water and leveling up / powers would solve this though, if you're planning on a post-jam version of it.

Reminds me of that one game on IOS, I forgot it's name, but it was essentially the same thing. Nice work.
