Shark Escape is pure survival. You are a swimmer, the sharks are faster than you, and the only thing you control is where you go. Stay clear for as long as you can and the score climbs with every second.
Games like this work because they are honest about the ending: you will be caught, and the only question is when. That removes any pressure to win and replaces it with the simpler satisfaction of lasting a bit longer than last time.
Stay in open water. Getting pinned against an edge with a shark approaching leaves nowhere to go, so keeping to the middle preserves escape routes in every direction.
Turn sharply rather than outrunning them. Sharks are faster in a straight line but slower to change direction, so tight turns open distance where sprinting never will.
Watch the ones that are not chasing you. Most captures come from a second shark drifting into the space you were about to escape into.
Move continuously. A stationary swimmer is easy to converge on, while constant gentle movement keeps the sharks recalculating and buys you time.
No, it is a survival game. You are playing to last longer than your previous best.
By surviving. The longer you stay clear, the higher the score.
The pressure increases as you survive, which is what eventually catches everyone.
Yes, dragging with a finger is the natural control.
