Hungry Shark lets you play as a deadly ocean predator. Reversing the usual game dynamic where you play a strapping hero foiling monsters, this game casts you in the role of the shark, cruising the high seas in search of easy prey. Four large open maps are available for you to explore, and there are a wide variety of sharks available in seven classes. Whether you're looking to play as a massive great white or a smaller and nimbler sea creature, you're sure to find something that matches your play style. Hundreds of enemies are available, each of varying threat levels, and daring players can even try their luck hunting down massive whales.

The arcade style gameplay is supplemented by a leveling system that rewards you for your skills. Improve the speed, strength, and health of your shark to face more dangerous challenges and take on bigger threats. You can additionally customize your shark by equipping them with themed gadgets and adorable sea creature pets. Hungry Shark takes place in a beautifully rendered three dimensional world. In addition to the free roaming gameplay, it also provides players with access to more than 20 types of missions that include time challenges and boss fights.
