Thanks for the feedback. New build with latest updates now uploaded.

Auto repeat on fire button turned back on. Redistributed the speed of the attacking sharks between level 8 and 12 so the speed at level 12 now matches level 14 from the previous build. And increased the rate of the bottom sharks speed between level 8 and 12 to be 20% faster. All speeds remain constant from level 12 onwards. Everything between levels 1 to 7 remain unchanged. Let me know if all feels right now. And thanks again for your contributions to make this simulation possible! It is much appreciated.

It's been a priviledge in helping you with this as it's a game thats really close to my heart as I've been playing it for 31 years and counting lol. This build is really good mate! I would suggest turning the players fire rate down a little as it's faster than the previous build and thats it I think the rest is spot on :) Cheers

Thanks. That's great! I think the auto repeat on the fire button makes it a bit faster than firing manually so I'll add a slight delay on the auto repeat. I'll let you when the release is live!

Nice one thankyou for all your hard work in this, I really appreciate it! I've been searching for years to see if anyone had built this game for pc and it made me so happy to be involved in the development, your coding skills with my knowledge of the game make a good team :D

And we managed to do it in just 5 days, too! I'm so glad others will get to try out this game now too. Okay, I've updated the dev build if you want to try out the new fire repeat rate before the release.

5 days is really good going, i got to level 15 scoring just shy of 3k. I feel this is absolutely spot on now as i cannot just sit in the corner due to the fire rate, this also means i have to do a lot more ducking and diving (pun not intended 🤣) it's now more of a challange and yeah 5 days ins't bad going at all, I say go for the release :D Oh I almost forgot, when you lose your last life and your score matches or is lower than your highest score it plays the normal die sound, but when you beat your high score and you lose your last life it plays the note yours does and thats it, the game play is spot on :) thankyou for coding this beloved game

Cheers :)

My pleasure! And thanks for your note (pun intended) about the tune at end of the game. I've kinda gotten to use to it as signalling game over so I'm going to keep it as is. Btw, if you have Android, the game should also work on your smart phone :)

Shark Attack is now released!

Thankyou, going to switch to my better browser so you'll see my best score as "0" in the video lol

Erm I did not expect to score this high, I past 4500 with all 3 lives intact and eventually died after pressing the right arrow key too many times at 6040. It really felt like the best speed, the speed of the sharks coming up is fine, would it be possible to speed the sharks up at the bottom significantly after every level between 8 & 12? heres a screenshot :)

No problem. I've updated the build and increased the speed of the sharks at the bottom by 20% between levels 8 and 12. Give it a try.

Just tried it and got well over 3k with all 3 lives, i think now ive played it a few more times my skill level has increased, ok up it by 60% on each level from 8 > 12 (sharks at bottom speed) & increase the speed the sharks come up by 10% per level between 8 & 12, that should do it hopefully :)
