A shark is eating your island. The only way to stop it is to feed it.

You are stranded on a small island while a shark circles it, biting off pieces of the shore. Grab the fishing rod, catch fish and throw them into the sea. But be careful: the shark is picky, and its tastes are different every game.

HOW TO PLAY

1. Find the fishing rod somewhere on the island.

2. Cast into the water and wait for a bite.

3. When a fish bites, strike at the right moment to catch it.

4. Throw the fish into the sea. The shark swims over and eats it.

5. Watch its reaction: hearts mean it likes the fish, angry marks mean it hates it. Work out which fish it wants.

6. Fill the progress bar to win. If the island is completely eaten, or you drown, you lose.

FEATURES

- Co-op multiplayer: survive together with other players

- A living island: procedurally generated terrain that is physically bitten away piece by piece, palms included

- A shark with a personality: it randomly decides which fish species it likes and which it hates, once per session

- Fishing with real physics: a thrown hook, a simulated rope line, a bite window and a strike

- Don't drown: swimming drains your oxygen, and the screen reacts when you run low

- Custom water shaders and GPU ripples whenever something touches the surface
