About

Shark Catch

Features
Read full description

Shark Catch is a lighthearted arcade game where you play as a sushi-loving shark! Your goal is simple: chomp down on as much sushi as you can—but beware! Trash is mixed in with the food, and eating it will cost you. On top of that, ships passing by can give you a painful bump on the head if you’re not careful. The challenge lies in timing: you don’t swim around, you simply choose whether to open your jaws for sushi or keep your mouth shut to avoid the bad stuff. Stack up your sushi score, stay sharp against the dangers, and unlock fun skins to give your shark a stylish new look. Can you become the ultimate sushi shark?
