Feared by many, a force of nature, the obsession of way too many screenwriters in Hollywood… That’s right, you got it: SHARKS! Sharks are the lions of the sea – they’re regal, astute and, above all, carnivores. It might be those big bulging eyes or the lack of a silky mane, but they’re actually waaaay scarier than their terrestrial counterparts. This is why we decided that YES, the world needs a sharklicious version of the Evolution saga (maybe we just want to see the world BURN)! It’s a new wave of entertainment! Why settle for an ordinary shark? Sharks are scary by nature but with a little help of Shark Evolution they can get EXTRA scary and you can create and develop many fishy shark species, just combine them to see them evolve! Have a sea of fun mixing, matching and combining these villains of the water world!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Idle Gorilla at none against Shark Evolution's 11. Idle Gorilla also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Shark Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 70%) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 390). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shark Evolution sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Idle Gorilla asks for nothing beyond the download.
Shark Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shark Evolution has 7.1K ratings behind it against 390, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
