Flying Shark

Flying Shark is an enhanced edition of Toaplan’s 1987 vertical shooter, also known as Sky Shark. In a war where the enemy has taken control of most military bases, you pilot the legendary Flying Shark to turn the tide. You fly through stages, fight enemy forces and collect power-ups to upgrade your plane.

Off-screen action

You can fly left and right beyond the screen borders to expand your field of vision and reveal hidden threats. Enemies can also attack from off-screen, so you need to use your limited supply of bombs carefully. You can compete with a friend, and the game includes detailed settings and visuals.

Modes and assistance

A beginner mode and a Very Easy mode offer lower difficulty, while a customizable practice mode lets you hone your skills. Assist options include auto-fire at multiple rates, and Mirror Mode provides another way to play. Online leaderboards track Single Credit, No Assist and Assisted plays.

Enhanced edition features

The edition includes quick saves and reloads, with ten save slots, and lets you rewind gameplay by 10–18 minutes depending on the action. Instrument panels show extra gameplay information and artwork, and you can capture replays to share. Display options include CRT filters, pixel-perfect or full-screen scaling, windowed or full-screen play, and rotation in 90-degree increments. The game also includes Steam Achievements and minimal input lag, with emulation, input processing and rendering completed on the same frame.
