Mad Shark is an action game where you play as a ferocious shark tearing through ocean environments, devouring sea creatures, destroying obstacles, and evading danger in a fast-paced underwater rampage. The premise is delightfully straightforward — you are the apex predator, and the ocean is your hunting ground.

The shark's feeding frenzy mechanic is the core gameplay driver: devour smaller sea creatures to build momentum and scale, gain enough mass to attack larger targets, and unleash chaos throughout the ocean environment. The escalating size and threat level of what you can attack creates a satisfying power progression.

Environmental hazards add challenge to the rampage: harpoons from boats above, nets that temporarily trap the shark, depth charges from submarines, and larger predatory threats (orca, giant squid) that fight back. Avoiding these while maintaining the feeding frenzy tests both reflexes and spatial awareness.

Mad Shark is an action game with a simple "devour to grow" progression loop:

1. Start Swimming — Your shark appears in the ocean environment and swims automatically or with directional control.
2. Attack Smaller Creatures — Swim into smaller fish, crabs, divers, and sea creatures to devour them. Successfully devouring prey scores points and may increase your shark's power or size.
3. Avoid Threats — Harpoons, nets, depth charges, and larger predators can damage or kill your shark. Dodge these while maintaining your hunting momentum.
4. Target Bigger Prey — As your shark grows or power increases, larger and more valuable targets become available. Devour these for massive point bonuses.
5. Chain Consecutive Kills — Eating multiple creatures in rapid succession builds a combo multiplier. Maintaining momentum without pausing is rewarded.
6. Survive for Score — Your score accumulates while you survive and feed. Higher point prey and chain multipliers are the path to high scores.
7. Avoid Depth Limits — Some versions restrict shark depth — going too deep or too shallow triggers damage from pressure or surface hazards.

• Power-Up Items: - Speed boost: temporary increased swim speed - Frenzy mode: increased attack range and damage for a brief period - Size increase: temporarily grows the shark for access to larger prey

• Arrow Keys / WASD — swim directionally
• Mouse movement — in cursor-follow versions, the shark tracks mouse position
• Left-click / Spacebar — attack or boost in some versions
• Shift — speed boost (where available)

• Tap and hold — shark moves toward touch position
• Drag — smoothly steer the shark
• Double-tap — speed burst in some versions

Pro Tip: Avoidance Controls: - Sharp direction changes let you dodge harpoons and depth charges - The shark's momentum means sharp turns require anticipation — begin the turn before the hazard reaches you

• Mad Shark performance comes from maintaining feeding momentum while avoiding hazard damage.
• Prey Priority: - Attack prey in size order from largest-available to smallest as efficiency allows.

• Combo Maintenance: - The combo multiplier requires consecutive prey contacts without significant pauses.
• Hazard Avoidance: - Harpoons come from a predictable position (boat location above).

Mistakes to Avoid

• Harpoons come from a predictable position (boat location above). Track boat positions and avoid swimming directly under them.
• Depth charges detonate at a specific depth — swim either above or below the explosion zone once you identify the trigger depth.
• Larger predators (orca, etc.) should be avoided early in the game when the shark is small — engage them only after power-ups or size increases.

High-Score Tip: Route Planning: - Maximize time swimming through high-density prey areas rather than crossing open water between clusters.
