Shark Games Online: Play as the Shark, Arenas and Survival
Updated
Shark games online come in three types: games where you are the shark and eat your way up, .io arenas where you try to become the biggest shark on the server, and games where the shark is the danger you swim away from or hunt. In the arenas the rule is simple: eat what is smaller and avoid what is bigger. Below is each type with the controls that matter.
Types of shark games
| Type | What you do | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Play as the shark | Eat, smash boats and grow | Shark Rampage |
| Online shark arenas | Grow bigger than other sharks | HappySharks.io |
| Survive the sharks | Swim for land or dive for coins | Survive the Sharks |
| Hunt the shark | Aim and shoot with different weapons | Shark Hunting |
Play as the shark
Here you steer the shark, and every game gives it something to eat or smash.
- Angry Sharks has you steer a mutated shark with the mouse or a finger. Eat fish to grow, avoid bigger and spiky fish, and watch for barrels, mines and spears. People are afraid of the shark and try to destroy it.
- Shark Rampage is an action game: smash through wooden boats and eat swimmers along the coast, upgrade your jaws and build combo meters. WASD or the arrow keys move, and Space performs a run attack.
- Megalodon is a shark swallowing game. You attack fishing boats for score, and when a boat is shot down and someone falls, you eat the person for more points. Touch the screen to steer.
- LA Shark puts a very hungry shark in LA. The arrow keys move the shark and Space takes it underwater.
- Super Shark World guides a shark through a submarine full of obstacles, over 15 levels or in an endless mode, with three boss characters. Gold earned at the end of a game buys new characters. WASD or the arrow keys move, K shoots and L dashes.
- Mad Shark Fish casts you as a rampaging shark in an underwater adventure. Use touch on a phone or the mouse on a computer.
Online shark arenas
In .io arenas you start small and grow by eating. What the genre is, and what kinds exist, is explained in io games online.
- HappySharks.io is a multiplayer game: hunt smaller sharks, avoid bigger ones and eat gems to grow. The mouse moves you, and a mouse press or Space boosts. You can customize your shark with colors and hats.
- Shark Attack is an online .io game with one goal: become the biggest shark on the server. Mouse or touch moves you.
- Shark io says it in one line: the big fish eats the little one. Mouse or touch moves you.
- Shark Io3 works the same way. Catch smaller, weaker fish to feed, swallow people lying on the sea bed and run from fish that are bigger than you. The mouse does the steering.
More arenas are in the io games category.
Survive the sharks, or hunt them
Here the shark is the threat or the target. Two games are about escape, and two are about aiming.
- Survive the Sharks drops you overboard in the middle of the ocean. Swim for land, which appears in a random place each game, and avoid the sharks. The other fish are harmless. Touch moves you on a phone, and the mouse or the arrow keys work on a computer.
- Search for Treasure 2 sends a scuba diver after coins spilled by a shipwreck. Avoid sharks and jellyfish. The other fish will not hurt you. Click or tap to move.
- Shark Hunting is a shooting game. The mouse moves the gun, the right button zooms, the left button shoots and the wheel changes weapon.
- Raft Shark Hunting has a Shooter Mode and a Boat Mode, switched with the 1 and 2 keys. WASD moves, Space jumps and the mouse shoots.

- In HappySharks.io, learn the boost before your first chase: it is a mouse press or Space.
