About the Game

This is a game of speed. How fast can you swim?

Shark is a fast-paced reflex game where your objective is to reach the flag in each randomly generated level before the time runs out.

Your timer starts at 10 seconds, and gets one second faster every 10 levels until level 80 where it caps at 2.5 seconds. Levels will generate endlessly until you crash or the time runs out.

How to Play

Move across the board one tile at a time using WASD. Navigate around the deadly colored walls and the arrow tiles that may either help or harm you.

Holding SHIFT allows you to dash, moving two tiles at once, jumping through one tile.

Sometimes levels can be impossible! If you think the current level is unsolvable, press X! If you're correct, you will pass the level. If you're incorrect, you lose.
