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! FEATURES • Pantheon: a new place for supreme beings to look down on us mortals and laugh at our misery • Impostors: watch out for impostors trying to steal the spotlight from the sharks HOW TO PLAY • Drag and drop similar sharks to create new mysterious creatures • Use sharks poop coins to buy new creatures and make even more money • Alternatively, fiercely tap a shark to make coins pop when sharks poop HIGHLIGHTS • Different stages and many shark species to discover • A mind-blowing story yet untold • The unexpected mix of alpaca-like evolution, 2048 and incremental clicker games • Doodle-like illustrations • Various possible endings: find your destiny • No sharks were harmed in the making of this game, only developers Bait the hook and download Shark Evolution now!
