Skybox is the same blue as the water, so it’s difficult to tell where you are going, not accurate to the preview picture with an actual skybox not just a blank color. 2. Janky controls. Super difficult to move the shark around without starting to do a flip in the water, and even worse trying to attack things. 3. Once the shark hits land, it’s pretty much stuck. Starts rolling, and is trapped in the sand of the island. Near impossible to not do this while trying to attack beach-goers, which is why I bought this game. Overall I really want to play and enjoy this game, but it needs bug fixes! ### 2/5 — I don’t hate this, buuut I don’t love it. *2022-04-27* Ok, I only like this because the world is pretty and big and I like terrorizing people, (im autistic so don’t blame me). And it’s bad because, controls, eating, home finding, mates, and MANY more. If you like the GFG sims that have two controls, than enjoy. If you like the number2 type games like wolfsim 2, than you probably will hate this. ### 4/5 — Love sharks but..... *2016-05-02, version 1.0* My fav. Animal is the wolf and shark thx for making both of those simulators but the shark one is very difficult to control maybe can you fix the controls to be a little easier thx! Pls make an ultimate shark simulator thx! 🤗😀 ### 3/5 — Controls stink *2016-03-13, version 1.0* The controls ruin the game a can barely control my shark and I can't find the mate If you put the mate on the map and make the controls better it would be your best game yet ### 4/5 — Shark Simulator *2016-02-02* O jogo é meio difícil de jogar... O mapa poderia ser maior, sem aquele espaço vazio... Mas o resto é muito bom... Só deveria ter o Ultimate Dolphin Simulator! ### 3/5 — Not so great *2016-01-18* This game is really cool when you see it ,but once you start playing the game is not so cool. First the controls are wacky and hard to control. When I try to go up it goes down. I do not recommend this game. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻WARNING DO NOT GET THIS GAME ### 2/5 — Don't buy this! *2016-01-11* I love all the Gluten Free Games but this is my least favorite! I figured out how to use the controls (which are quite hard) on the left of the speed and on the right is where you go up and down but you have to scroll up. It's still really hard. The shark keeps dying because it can't eat the fish even if he chomps on the fish. The reason why I am giving this to stars instead of one is because I figured out how to control the shark even though sometimes they don't work. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME ON THIS STUPID GAME. Please fix this!!! ### 4/5 — Sim-simulation games *2015-12-06, version 1.0* 1. Make it so ur home and mate shows up on the map. 2. Can u make a turtle simulator 3. Could u also make a parrot simulator Thx. ### 2/5 — Help please *2015-11-07, version 1.0* How do you go underwater I'm confused and how do you you eat thing ### 2/5 — ........... *2015-10-24, version 1.0* I personally love sharks. The thing I have to complain about is the controls why can't they be like the other games. Also can't it be as adventures as the orca game ### 2/5 — Very hard 2 control your shark *2015-10-20* I love all of your other games but I had 2 delete this one b cause it was really hard 2 control. Please fix. P.S. Please make a mothman sim, flatwoods monster sim, Nessie sim, Bigfoot sim, chupacabra sim, ultimate dog sim, ultimate dragon sim, ultimate velociraptor sim, pterosaur sim, alien sim please!! This would b my dream game!! And also a Viking sim would b cool 2!! This would b my 2nd dream game!! Thx 4 listening!!👽👽🐩🐩👼🏻👼🏻🐲🐲🐉🐉 ### 4/5 — Pretty decent *2015-10-09* I like this game, but it took me an hour to find a mate. You should make that easier to do. It's also be nice if there was a larger area to explore instead of the incredibly small one you currently have. ### 1/5 — I hate this! *2015-10-08, version 1.0* Dont waste ur money on this game, the controls r so hard, dont get this game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst game ever do not pay 2 dollars on it *2020-11-21, version 1.1* You should make better games this is the worst make a new Ultimate sim 2 ### 1/5 — Why is is this stupid.........

Es q está muy malo si no se actualiza ### 1/5 — ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH *2016-04-01* This game is probably the worst game I have ever gotten off the App Store, 1) it doesn't even work whenever I swim he falls through the ground 2) the controls are stupid I can't even work them 3) why is there such a terrible game still on the App Store there to make people spend money they could've saved for something way better?!! I'm so angry with my purchase I think this game should be taken off the App Store or at least made free because I can get better free games than this!!! ### 1/5 — I want my money back!!!! *2016-03-27, version 1.0* I looked everywhere and couldn't find my mate. Why can't the map show you where it is like normally?! And you don't even have a house. And the controls are stupid like in the Sarai lion sim. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Do not waste your money *2016-02-27, version 1.0* Ok first of all why do you make the shark swim so weird second ye can't control the darn thing and it's so hard to coach food major update ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Has potential. *2026-04-27, version 1.1* It’s a great game but it needs a few more things added to it like the controls need to be updated to a newer version of gameplay. Also want to point out some of the other earlier games with these controls need the newer gameplay versions too. ### 5/5 — Great but listen here *2021-09-29, version 1.1* Your a miracle worker but in real life sharks don’t eat humans. Sorry! Still an awesome game though. I love sharks 🦈 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 ### 5/5 — Really good *2019-11-11, version 1.1* I loved it ### 5/5 — Your game is so good 😊😊😊😊 *2019-03-24, version 1.1* Like you’re game is just too 😎 I can’t stop playing it 🥰😍🦅🦅🦅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — SUPER FUN!!!!!!!! *2016-04-23, version 1.0* This is a very enjoyable simulator, also I don't get why everyone is saying the controls are so hard, there actually really easy! Possibly the best of all the simulators! Also can you PLEASE make an octopus simulator and a zebra simulator! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-03-05, version 1.0* The game itself it's pretty cool but, can you put an update where there are boats that want to hunt you and some swimmers in deep ocean?
