Community Insight:
When Odysseus, King of Ithaca, set sail for home, there wasnt a barrage of missiles and mines on line for his x-coordinate. No cyclops could match up with having under level 3 Invincibility, or trying to break 10k points with beginner shark. The great tragedies of penned history involve intricate networks of characters working in tandem, complex relationship dynamics, and a heros journey for a greater purpose. But how tragic is a story of a shark riding dolo, his only relationship with our extraordinary dexterity, his only purpose is dodging bomb, getting points, chilling in lobby screen and rotating on an axis when we feel like soft swipe tping him across the screen. Survivor Shark is more than tragedy, it is analogous for the life of employees at scam call centers and boutique investment banks alike, at the mercy of a screens tape, alone in your quest for an unknown sum of points, cash, or retirement savings, and possibly being in a funny prank video. While Survivor shark only seemingly sits a couple dozen feet under the waters surface, beginner and left shark will never reach above the constraints of their y-position, and buying jetpack shark is not chill really. How will you rise above your y-position? What missiles will you dodge? Have you dodged any missiles or mines? Or have you sat back your whole life waiting for a moment of quotidian stress as great as survivor sharks. You are nothing and hes something, hes fighting, and Ill be damned if he doesnt survive.
This game has been more than just entertainment for us, it has been a sanctuary. Growing up being bullied, we always wished for an escape from reality and this game gave us exactly that. Its everything from the incredibly immersive gameplay and community of followers that we can just forget the past and just be who we truly am. Its not just a game its a way to show players that happiness can be found on your phone.
We dont think we will ever see the world in the same way again. Something about this game speaks to us in a way that no other game couldplaying it filled our soul with joy in a fashion nothing else could.
Been going thru a lot days, huzz appts, tiktoks, and reels dont watch themselves and is extremely stressful. When we want to just unwind have fun and genuinely enjoy ourselves we go to this exact app. Learning about sharks, having and ocean vibe, and the action are just a few ways of how this game brings joy to our life.
Este juego us lleva a casa. Us hace sentir en paz con el mundo. Todo al respecto, la jugabilidad, los grficos, son tiburones. Amo tanto este juego y no puedo recomendarlo menos de lo que ya lo hago. Este juego ha tenido un efecto muy profundo en mi vida y espero que haga lo mismo con todos los que tienen la suerte de encontrarse con este juego.
Survivor Shark may appear to just be another app, but it is so much more. This game transformed our day to day in many ways. The more we played the less we awoke in the night frozen staring at our ceiling. We were so empty before Survivor Shark, now we feel whole.
This game is truly amazing. We grew up around the water and this game made us closer to the ocean than we could ever imagine we would be. Once we played this game for the first time our mind was gripped by the thrill of dodging hazards and we could not put our phone down. Download it.
When we think of the most important moments of our life we think of our wedding, the birth of our first child, and the first time we played SURVIVOR SHARK. For much of our life we have struggled with feeling accomplished and that all changed as we started playing Survivor Shark. For the first time in our life we were able to start our day accomplishing something and from there everything began to change. We felt more confident about ourselves and was able to accomplish more at work and socially. We met our future wife because of this game and could not be more thankful for the game and its developers. We plan to name our first son or daughter Andrew Palmer and we owe everything good in our life to you. This is a special game.
We came across this game about 3 years ago when we had an obsession with the ocean. At the time we thought very little about what this game could mean. Yet, after playing, we realized that this game is so much more. How perfect the shark swims from side to side avoiding the bombs and yet finding a way to get the power ups is truly special. With each game we improved and our love of the ocean grew. We recently just hit our high score slightly about 5K and am looking to get to 5 digits as soon as we can! This is what we look forward to when we wake up and its all we think about when we go to sleep. We even chose our major in college oceanography because of this tremendous game! We feel obligated to inform every single person we meet about this game and what it can do to someones life. It has shaped our life and we know it will soon shape yours too. Now get to swimming.
Growing up, Ive actually always loved sharks. The way they conquer the seas, maintaining a deadly disposition yet swimming gracefully with the current. We think a lot of people think really negatively of sharks, which has always irked us to some degree. By going into the ocean, the person is choosing to enter their domain, thereby making the final call of being in the territory of a large predator. Sharks are not malicious, they are just doing what God intended them to do. When we saw this game, we immediately knew we had to download it. In what world am we going to pass up the opportunity to handle the adversity of the oceans in the role of such a magnificent beast? This game also reinforces the role that Sharks are just trying to survive too, and that they shouldnt be looked at as the bad guys. We truthfully hope this game can provide the change of perspective that many people need.
They say love isnt finding someone to live with, its finding someone you cant live without. It was a cold winter day, snowing outside. Our ex-girlfriend of 12 years and former highschool sweetheart had just left us, so we were left by ourselves stuck inside. It was just mere coincidence, a split second, that led us to the love of our life. We were trying to reach Platinum Puller on our favorite 1v1 competitive ranked website when an ad for a Jaws re-release in theaters subliminally implanted sharks into our mind. After dominating the competition, we were bored and went to the app store when we saw her. The app of our dreams. The aggressive stare, those beautiful teeth, the curves of her fins, we knew she was the one for us. From there, the rest is history, and we are now happily engaged.
Just two weeks ago, we were going through a very rough time both physically and mentally. We had our rectum excavated and got put into a nursing home by our son in law. The pills that the nurses were giving us wasnt helping us with our rear end or our heartache. When we stumbled upon this app, we were skeptical at first because sharks are agents of the government, but soon after we started playing we realized what it meant to experience true euphoria. This game motivated us to rehabilitate ourselves into the ultimate physical machine, and filled the gap left by our family, friends, and lost life.
We downloaded this game to get over our fear of sharks. We grew up afraid of the ocean and any body of water. It controlled our life. After downloading this app, we became comfortable with sharks and truly came to love the animal. This app captivates our attention for hours and hours as the shark swims back and forth. It makes us feel comfortable with our own life. This game is something that will be in our life forever and we urge you to give it a try and watch yourself fall in love with sharks and this game.
This game is an amazing combination of focus and speed. We have been intrigued for days since we downloaded the game. We would recommend this to all game lovers.
Wow. Genuinely Im so impressed. One of our friends told us to download this app. We had low expectations at first, but wow Im lost for words. We often catch ourselves spending hours of our day on this app endlessly playing. God we love this game.
Ever since we got this game we play it every chance we get. The quest for a higher score is the perfect activity for any downtime we had absolutely no better feeling than reaching that next multiplier and and cruising to a new highscore. This game is absolutely electric and we cant wait to play more of it.
This game is absolutely incredible!!! We have never been able to focus on a game until this one. We love how the game keeps building and building. You never want it to end and luckily it never does. This should be the most played game in the App Store.
This app is beautifully designed. Our sons and daughters all love playing this game in the car on the way to soccer practice. No more crying and whining on the way to practice! Just survivor shark.
This game is spectacular! We were recommended to download this game by a friend and ever since Ive gotten it Ive been hooked. The simple concept of dodging such interesting obstacles brings us so much joy and adrenaline that we can not put our phone down. This game has changed our life and we recommend it to anyone as Im sure it will touch your hearts like it touched ours.
OMG. We never knew this game would take up so much of our life. But it is too fun oh our god. We went into this with an open mind and thank god we did. The power ups make the game extremely exciting and the tokens make it strategy based. OMG we have not stopped playing for 3 days. THANK YOU for making this game it is our favorite game ever in the world.
Just started playing this game and we enjoy every minute of it. You guys should play it too, it is so much fun.
This game is crazy fun, we cant believe we just found it a few weeks ago. Cant stop playing, love everything about it and it is SO addicting. The game is a great combination of needing to use complex strategies while being simple at face value. Going to keep playing this today, tomorrow, and the day after that.
We started playing this game a couple of days ago and cant stop to play anymore. The game is perfect; there are no bugs and the game is just so much fun.
Its hard to quantify the impact of a life-changing event. We can try to put a dollar amount on true happiness or count good deeds in the hopes that it will make us the person we were meant to be. For us, those things dont matter anymore. We are homeless and am also a terrible person, but the only number that matters to us is this one: 5260. That was the score in Survivor Shark that changed our life. After hitting, nay exceeding the 5k milestone that we had been working towards for years of our miserable life (brightened only by Survivor Shark), we finally had the courage to remove ourselves from the toxic home environment that we had endured all this time (a wife and two young children). Making this decision, along with leaving our career as a pediatric oncologist, allowed us to spend even more time playing the game, which only made us happier. We were even able to cancel our gym membership to buy more coins and unlock all the different sharks you can play with. Im now on the road to a score of 6k! The torturous life that once faced us is long in the past, and now all we need to do each day is wake up in the local bus station, plug in our phone, and play Survivor Shark for hours on end. What a life! What a world! What a game! Survivor Shark is the peak of all human ingenuity and technical development, and we are so glad to have the rest of our life to play it. Thank you to the developer and to sharks for making this game possible.
Wow, this game consumed our life for the last few days. Ive never been more entertained by a game, and have told, and will continue it to tell, many people about Survivor Shark. The upgrades and shop are interesting and reasonable, and this game just makes sense. It is curing our mild case depression of slowly, thank you so much.
Survivor Shark changed our life more than we can imagine. Recently, we have been suffering from chronic erectile dysfunction. However, after discovering survivor shark, it has helped us be more comfortable with ourselves as well as our condition. We credit all of this improvement to this amazing game.
While looking at other shark games, this one caught our eye. We said why not download it and we ended up playing it for 4 hours straight. Once you start playing it is very hard to stop because all you want to do is strive to get a better score. We will 100% recommend to our friends.
Before playing this game we thought sharks were the worst thing on this planet. This game has shown us that sharks are more than just meat with fins. The elusiveness of the shark reminds of Barry Sanders in his prime. The combination of thumb movement and power-ups gives each user a chance at beating their high score. Im all for giving everyone an equal chance and this game is a prime example of that. We will continue to play this game until we know we are the best. It has given us a new perspective on life and we hope we can make the shark survivor community proud of our journey.
Survivor Shark was able to turn our entire life around. Its unique and fun aesthetic made our long business trips on planes more enjoyable and seem him shorter. We were obsessed with increasing our multiplier and upgrading our shark so that we could beat our previous scores. We also love beating our friends scores. DOWNLOAD THIS GAME NOW.
This game has opened our eyes to a whole new perspective on the world. It has improved our hand eye coordination and reaction time along with making our brain shaper. The aspect of competition between our friends and beating their scores are healthy competition that are beneficial to everyone. It has taught us that anything we want we need to work hard and apply ourselves and that it is possible to achieve anything.
This game wasnt good. It was fantastic. We recently suffered the loss of a family member, and through the healing and grieving process we stumbled upon survivor shark. This game created a beautiful escape that allowed us to explore our creative talents and unlock parts of our brain we didnt know existed. Each minute ive spent on the app has given us more joy than life itself, and when we sadly have to put our phone down to eat or sleep, the only thing we see and think is survivor shark. This beautifully crafted game has allowed millions all over the globe to find happiness at the touch of a finger. Our mom asked us to do the dishes one day, and we made her wait for 3 hours so we could finish our survivor shark game.
This game has left us on our phone consistently as we cannot put it down. The incredible graphics and amazing features make this game a must get. The clever obstacles like the mines are a great touch in this game and is unique. We honestly cant recommend this game enough to people. We always finding ourselves saying One more game as we try to beat our high score at all times because its so addicting.
We downloaded Survivor Shark and was quickly hooked. The graphics and play style are as addictive as flappy bird or angry birds. It has a very responsive feedback system that reinforces the players decisions. We are constantly striving to beat our records. The power up system allows you to dynamically reward yourself and surpass your current record faster. All around a great game that you should definitely try if you are looking for a stimulating and enjoyable experience.
This game is addicting! Very challenging game that keeps you on your seat the entire time. It can be enjoyed by all ages allowing you to compete with friends and family. We have spent more hours than we would like to admit, but have enjoyed every second of it. Would definitely recommend this game to others if your in for a challenge.
Ive been backpacking in the mountains of Asia for the past two years without our phone. When we got it back last week and saw Survivor Shark climbing the ranks, we had to give it a try. WOW. This game is the real deal, the competitive yet relaxing nature of the gameplay is the perfect combination for free time. Theres nothing Id rather do than happily swipe with the dancing shark. This game restored our faith in technology.
Survivor Shark, the best game we have found in the past decade, made us reminisce on our childhood days. The insane, 4k graphics as well as the absolutely stellar gameplay of dodging between mines and missiles really illuminates the immersive experience. Personally, everytime we play this game we feel that we are the shark in the ocean who is fighting for survival. We definitely recommend downloading this game because you will never regret it. Its very well thought out game design truly speaks to how good of a game survivor shark is.
Its difficult to describe just how much this game means to us. The countless hours of trial and error, of doubt and denial, have caused us to master our psyche and understand our strengths and weaknesses. This game teaches grit. We fail, we replay. We succeed, we strive for higher. Survivor Shark is truly like no other game. We spend our shark time everyday bettering ourselves. We love this game.
We wouldnt consider ourselves a gamer in this world, but we actually came across this game through an intelligent, amazing friend we met way back when. We were originally skeptical, but he told us the shark moving across the screen, the blasting of the obstacles, and watching your high score grow was therapeutic and beautiful. We called him crazy, at first. Then we took the leap of faith and downloaded the game some rainy day a few years ago. Since then, Ive fallen in love with this game. It brings out the best of us at our worst. Theres just something about it. Its as if this code has the eternal love of all your mothers, and Ive completely become HEALTHILY addicted to this game. We play after heart break, in search of retribution for our oppressors, in search of clarity for our problems; it just hardwires our brain to think in a different way that is borderline unexplainable. Thank you for this game; Id do anything to ensure its success. We cannot stress this enough: it will do wonders on your mental health and keep you so captivated, theres such a small amount of activities youd chose over playing this game. BLESS.
Wow. Im at a loss for words for how impactful survivor shark has been on our life. When we were at our lowest, survivor shark was there. The way he dodges the bombs help us dodge our biggest fears and problems. Ive never felt more attached to a main character in a long time. Theres more depth here than meets the eye. Its about what is able to be taken away from the game that makes it so special. And oh boy can u take away a lot. Riveting experience.
Our friends and we love playing this game throughout the day. It is an amazing game. It is a great game to pass the time and learn about underwater sea animals. We would recommend everyone try this game. It is a great game for all ages.
This game is so addicting and incredibly engaging. Geniously designed, we hope the developer makes more apps and is successful in his ventures. We love this game – felt like we needed to write a review.
We think this game is definitely contender for game of year. It is so fun to play and will keep you occupied for all those car rides and bored afternoons. We recommend this game to all our friends and loved ones. 5/5.
Ever since we downloaded this game, we havent been able to put it down. The way that this gnarly shark moves around so quickly to dodge all of the obstacles is just mesmerizing. We can honestly say that this app deserves more than just 5 stars, as it has been a way for us to escape the troubles of the real world and just have some fun with ourselves and our shark. Whether you are going through struggles in life or just need a new game to play, this is the best option. It has been more than just a game in our life and im sure anyone else who has it feels the same way. We play it so much we truly start to care about the shark, which allowed us to get higher scores because our feelings were involved. Thank you for giving us this game.
What an impeccable game. Survivor Shark is a seamlessly integrated piece of software that is sure to blow your mind. Playing this game relieves all the worries of life and keeps us sane. Best game we have and will ever have on our phone.
There is something that keeps you locked in on this game. We played for probably 3 hours on the planes once and kept trying to beat our high score. A truly entertaining game that doesnt need wifi OR HAVE ANY ADS.
This game hit home. As we dodge the sharks in the game, we feel the same adrenaline and intensity that we would have off the coast of Nicaragua. Truly realistic experience and perfectly programmed.
We highly recommend this game. Whether you are looking for something to do on your lunch break or before bed, Survivor Shark can fill all free time. With an endless ceiling to your potential score, it is hard to put this game down. Ive played a lot of similar games in our day and this one by far takes the cake. From the overall graphics to the mechanics of the game itself, it is a masterpiece. It is a must play.
This game has become a staple in our mobile game rotation. Every day we look forward to waking up and praying to Survivor Shark. When our phone is dead we have survivor shark withdrawals. When our girlfriend broke up with us for playing too much survivor shark we only dove deeper into the shark realm. We love this game and you will too. Nut up or shark up.
Ive had a lot of fun playing this game for the last couple of days and could see ourselves playing it for years to come. We have already recommended it to several friends and we all really enjoy it. We highly recommend this game to anyone, as it can be fun for any age group of people.
We downloaded this game after perusing the App Store and am so happy with our decision. We find ourselves playing this game at any free time that we have in our day and it never disappoints. We were having so much fun that we even got all of our closest friends to start playing with us.
