Features

Hungry Shark World is an aquatic adventure where the player controls a shark. Hungry Shark World features a wide range of different aquatic creatures and even non-aquatic creatures, such as humans. There are also 3 different types of currencies, pearls, gems, and coins. As the player progresses through the game, there are many different missions to do, 4 different locations on the world map to explore and special locations to visit.

In Hungry Shark World, there are 8 different tiers of sharks, ranging from XS to Apex. Each level of shark contains 3 (4 actually) different sharks with different looks and stats, with the exception of XS, Apex, and !!, that contain only 1, 12, and 13 respectively. Each level of shark progressively has a larger diet, allowing the player to be able to eat more and more creatures on the map. Each level of shark also has generally improved stats from the last level, which are represented in numbers. The 3 stats are known as Speed, Bite and Boost, which all can be upgraded a certain number of times for a particular shark with coins, with the price going up for bigger and bigger sharks and as more upgrades for that shark of that type are obtained.

There are several different menus as well. There is the shark menu, that allows the player to view and buy the many different sharks in the game. There is also the personal shark menu, that allows the player to customize the shark they have chosen with pets, gadgets, accessories or maps. The player is also able to upgrade their shark on this menu. There is also the map selection menu, where the player is able to choose one of the 5 locations they want to play in. The player can also view the 3 missions they currently have and the leaderboards. There is also the settings menu, that allows the player to customize music volume, language, no blood mode, cloud saves, and view support and credits.
