Community Insight:
This game is genuinely fun if you know how to play and progress:D.
Great game, Graphics are amazing and so are the animations. Its our favorite mobile game! Just one teensy problem. Whenever we go into the Buy stuff like bundles or buying gold, we CANT FIND THE X! So basically we have to reset it so we can go back to playing. Can you fix this? Theres no X in the buy stuff menu. And same with the daily rewards! Other than that, amazing game.
This game has to be a classic and very awesome game u could ever find, we play it every day.
We are been playing this game for 3 years and we still love it and no matter how bored we get from this game we still end up playing it and not deleting it but we lost a lot of accounts that had good stuff but we really honestly care cause we are really good at the game.
This game is such an awesome nostalgia trip still holds up to this day.
We forgot about this game then we joined back and it was so much fun Ive had it for about a week now and we cant stop playing it.
We personally really enjoy this game! It doesnt require a lot and the designs are good! The deals are also pretty good!! As someone who used to play the older version! Its really good to see it come back! We currently have around 3/4 of the sharks! As well as the limited ones who dont appear now! The exclamation point ones are really cool! We have a few of them but not all! Still a very nostalgic game.
The ads dont work whenever we almost finish it it doesnt let us claim the reward please help and thank you.
We love this game it has many different stuff. Can play this game everywhere.
Its such a good game we love it you guys should play it to please Ive played it since we were 6.
Es sper bueno yo jugaba en un telfono hace seis aos y no serva pero con mi Phone 12 sirve.
Your game is truly a modern masterpiece, no forced ads except from death, minimal glitches, fun, addicting gameplay, funny lore, and much more, we gotta say, you guys clearly put effort into this game, 3 things that confuse us though is that for 3 sharks, they require you to reach a specific level on some splash passes, it would be helpful if theyd be available outside of splash passes, its tedious waiting many months for a splash pass to have them, second thing is that on our Game Center account the achievement calamari has been stuck on 91% for 3 weeks now, is this a bug or am we using the wrong sharks?Please let us know. Lastly, this one is purely for a quality of life for us, since Gaia has abilities and lacks a skin, unlike all other !! Sharks, she even came out after the release of apex sharks, and yet she is not an apex shark, moving her up to this tier just makes sense and it doesnt affect gameplay aside from obtaining her, anyway thats all, great job everyone, Im excited to see whats brewing in cinco de mayo next year for the 10th anniversary.
This is one of our favorite childhood games we love other sharks that all we gotta say.
Its the best game in the world but we want primium.
Best childhood game ever, and it STILL hits hard.
This game is so addicting play it NOW.
We loved hungry shark evo for YEARS and then we discover this 10 years later.
Its very fun but we kinda prefer hungry shark evolution but its still good.
Ive had this game sense we were four and love it but we need it too make so we can get out of shop. Also we love how ads dont just pop up and you dont have to watch them, but sometimes (it might just be our iPad) when we watch an ad on purpose after extinction mode we cant get out. Any way we love extinction mode.
Us and our kids are always playing this to get them all the animals.. We wish it was one for land animals. We think thatll be sweet.
This game is so fire theres not that many ads and it has really addictive gameplay. The only real problem is if you click on the shop in the middle of a game you have to refresh the app. The X button is cropped off screen so you cant leave that window. Not that much of a biggie but sometimes annoying if you accidentally click the shop while the game is paused. This might just be a problem for iPad users tho idk. But other wise its really good.
It will be cool if we had the the pearls in the game.
Fun for kids but shows polution.
Esta muy mal hecho el men para ipad gen9.
Great game you just have to watch way too many adds.
This is a great game we love all the details but one thing we would like to bring notice is that there a lot of bugs.
You dont get much life and quests are hard to follow. Its fun to eat people though! Other than that even smaller lantern fish can bite you and make you lose energy, and takes a long time to upgrade. Ill probably delete the is game very soon. We wouldnt waste your time, even though all of these games are pretty much a waste of time.
We have been playing this game for a long time, about seven or eight years. We have changed several devices and replayed several archives. The best shark we have ever got is the robotic shark, but after playing it for so long, we think this game is too boring. First of all, the updated sharks are getting more and more boring and formulaic. More importantly, this game has been released for nearly ten years, but there are usually only four maps. Even if the radiation mode is released later, the map has just changed the filter. We think this is the reason why the playability of the game Hungry Shark World has been declining, and the reputation is getting worse and worse. We hope the official can release a new map as soon as possible. Only in this way can we meet the needs of players.
This game is super fun when you get into the app BUT once youve played the game for a minute and you start to swim into the bombs on accident because your trying to get the food thats next to all of the bombs. WELL after Ive swam into the bombs on accident THE GAME KICKS ME OUT AND we LOSE ALL OF MY PROGRESS AND COINS. And the reason we rated this game two stars instead of one is because its fun in the beginning before it kicks you out.
Theres sharks better, but for its xxL size the frenzy slaughters even great whites & megs! Also mighty matriarch,shin/mecha sharkjira,cosmic Alan,meltdown shark & more! MUST TRY THIS ONE GAME.
The game is great, but we no longer have all the sharks that we did have because we transferred onto a different phone and all the sharks we paid for a gone too.
This is a great game, amazing and fun, but we have lost our progress on our account twice and we never had this with other games before. Our first progress was stacked, but then we lost it and was forced to reset. Only for it to happen again. Im worried about the way we can progress into this game again.
First of all the graphics are elite, second of all we like these sharks more than the evolution sharks, and the APEX sharks are beautiful, we just bought sharchangel and hes so fun to play with, definitely an improvement from evolution.
Us and our cousin used to play this game and now we found it.
This game and all of the other hungry games like hungry, shark hungry dragon, hungry shark evolution. They are the best things Ive ever played, but we only have one thing and this is affecting the games, but Im actually interested if you could make more games like these, but with other things, maybe lets say hungry aliens because we feel like that would be a good game. Also, the best game Ive ever played never ever ever change this type of detail and your games. We hope this gets up in the games that we would never leave a more positive review. Thx.
This game is so good theres so many sharks to collect you can get gems, pearls and coins. You can eat bombs you can fly you can shoot fireworks with the type of shark you can get the megalodon. Its so cool we wish they at the bloop.
This game is so much fun! It is really entertaining and it is so much fun. Our favorite part is putting different accessories. Our favorite things to put on our shark is headphones and a party hat.
We love to get to build up every single level a new shark.you get to kinda feel like actual different types of sharks and getting to be eaten not that that is a good thing.there is some ads like after 30 or 36 minutes but we dont have to pay! We definitely recommend this game.
It has everything if you like sharks and barely any ads your in luck.
It has ads but not too many a massive improvement for the last game.
It awesome the experience, the sharks, the events the pass its all awesome. Keep up the great work one problem make perals easier to get theyre really hard to get and some sharks cost 10,000 perals.
The best fun rate it 1000out of 0.
Makes our fingers tired. Would be awesome on a console with a joystick and at least one button.
We like the game a lot and we play it a lot to but it keeps restarting our account and we spend money again to get good sharks can yall somehow fix that?? Other than that its good.
Lacks appeal for a gamer like us. Im sure it will find its audience elsewhere though.
We know Im still a teen but this game is very good we love it hungry shark is one of a kind.
We love this game.our cousin showed us it ,100+hours.
We love how there is a megalodon,and can customize the shark you have no. We got the game on 11/18/25.
The game is the best we can play as a shark.
Henry to d say this grave ever knew so dim send stuff.
