Alpha Shark

Alpha Shark is a shark survival game set in a large, semi-procedural coral reef. You eat fish, sea life and other sharks to grow, while defending your territory from sharks that challenge you. Eating makes you bigger; if you do not eat enough, you starve and shrink.

Explore the reef

Swim through the reef, explore hidden locations and hunt for treasure. The waters contain plentiful fish and interactable vegetation, and you can also swim through the scenery at your own pace. You can view the game from first- or third-shark perspective. A leaderboard shows the 10 largest sharks in the current lobby.

Game modes

Screensaver mode is single-player, locks the view to first-person and disables the HUD. Shark movement becomes more static, while you can still move around to create underwater screensavers. Wallpaper mode works similarly, but uses mouse-click-driven movement to support Wallpaper Engine.

Multiplayer

You can join an open lobby, host a game for others to join, or invite and join friends through the Steam overlay. Full lobbies cannot be joined. Multiplayer has built-in text chat but no voice chat. It has been tested with four players and bots to emulate larger lobbies, and servers should support up to 250 players. Changing the maximum player count may improve or degrade the experience.
