Gameplay Questions for Hungry Shark Evolution


What is the goal of the game?
In Hungry Shark Evolution, you can take control of a very Hungry Shark and go on a frantic ocean rampage, surviving as long as possible by eating everything and everyone in your way! As you eat and progress through the game, you will unlock new sharks, fight a boss, and encounter even more creatures to chomp on. Explore a beautiful underwater world and evolve to iconic sharks like the Great White and Megalodon!

What is Gold Rush?
Scoring points fills up the Gold Rush bar at the bottom of the screen, so make the most of those multiplier bonuses awarded for eating streaks!
When thebar fills up to the top, it triggers a Gold Rush, filling up your health and making you invincible. During Gold Rush, you even get points for hitting the mines! Each shark has a different Gold Rush duration and takes a different amount of points to fill the bar up to 100%. Each time you trigger a Gold Rush, the bar fills up +7%, making it quicker to get the next one, up to a maximum of 50%.

Are there boss enemies?
The ocean is a dangerous place: you will encounter enemy sharks, submarines, paragliders, very rare giant versions of Kempybass, cage divers, fishing boats and more! Here are some tips to defeat the toughest ones:

- Submarine: you just need to boost into the front window, but watch out for its torpedo attacks!
- Enemy Sharks: there is an Enemy version of each playable hungry shark swimming in the levels. Wait for your Gold Rush to chomp on the biggest ones!
- Paragliders: you'll need something to reach them in the sky! Equipping your shark with the Jetpack accessory should do the trick.
- Fishing boats: As a small shark, you can boost out of the water and eat the fishermen in the boat. But if you have the Megalodon or bigger, you will eat the entire boat whole! It's a feast for the eyes!

How do I defeat the Crab Boss?
The Giant Enemy Crab is a massive crab boss living inside the Crab Lair on the left end of the main level. Defeating the Giant Enemy Crab will grant you coins and gems as reward, but be prepared as it is larger than most of the first sharks in the game. To defeat the Giant Enemy Crab, you have to dodge the attacks from the claws before its weak spot is exposed (flashes green). Once exposed, make sure to boost into it to cause damage.

The Giant Enemy Crab has 4 versions of different colours, and is much bigger and stronger every time. You may have to wait before the next version appears. The final boss is the Black Enemy Crab and it only shows up once the other crabs have been defeated. This last boss enemy can respawn and carries high rewards, but the respawn rate after defeating it is much lower. Try reaching a high score to increase the chances to find it!

Struggling to beat the last boss? Try the Crab Fork to deal double damage!
Please note; the Giant Enemy Crab isn't available on low-end devices.
Why can't I find mini levels and big enemies?
Unfortunately, certain content like the Giant Enemy Crab, the Portal and the biggest enemy sharks haven't been applied to low-end devices. This is because certain devices aren't powerful enough to support this extra content. We always work towards making the game available for everyone, but cannot always guarantee results. Thank you for your understanding!

What are the Missions and how to complete them?
Hungry for more? You can complete your shark missions to win loads of gold. Search for shells in the ocean to unlock your current shark's missions. You can view the missions available for your shark by tapping on the shell button when you play, or on the shark selection screen. Missions are varied: reach a high score, hunt for specific prey, or survive for a certain time with a specific score multiplier.

What is an event? How do I take part?
Unlike missions, events are challenges available for anyone to compete for, regardless of your current progression. There is a new event every few days and the objectives always change. To take part in the events and appear in the leaderboards, you will need to login to Cloud Save. You will be asked to equip a specific shark or item and your score will display in the public leaderboard. Your event score displays at the bottom of the screen during a game session. You can know more about the active event by tapping on the green button on the right of your start screen. The timer below the button shows you how long you have left before the contest ends.

How do the portals work?
Sunken magic portals can get you to exotic places around the world to get extra points. There you will have a 3-minute timer which will deplete over time but can be replenished by eating local land and sea animals. If you die or run out of time, you will be returned to the main level with full health and boost.

The central portal will teleport your shark to the North Pole where a wrecked boat is caught in the ice. You can break into special icebergs and boat debris to open your way to new parts of the wreck and discover tons of awesome Easter Eggs! You will not be able to return to the wreck for 12 hours unless you buy an entry ticket in the shop for 10 gems. Entry tickets ignore the waiting time left and give you the possibility to enter the level again within the 12 hours following your previous run. You can carry up to 10 entry tickets at a time.

The eastern portal will teleport your shark to Shawaii, a tropical sea surrounding a giant volcano. You can enter Shawaii every 2 hours and eating Seal Pups will help you stay longer. Stay away from the volcanic lava jets and meteors coming from the sky!

What is the Sharknata?
The Sharknata allows you to get extra coins from the results screen when you finish a game. You'll need to reach a minimum time per run in order to unlock it. When you see it, tap on the Sharnata icon to watch an advert. Then, tap on the Sharknata to discover how many extra coins you won! You can also spend gems to retry.

How do I find all of the Sunken Treasure?
There are 15 sunken items hidden around the main level. Collect them for extra coins! The more you find, the bigger the reward.

You can purchase the treasure map in the shop to help you find the sunken items, but some are scattered in locations that may be difficult to reach when you have a low-level shark. Discovering and gathering all 15 sunken items is one of the first and best missions to accomplish in the game. It can be very useful when you want to accumulate points and beat high scores if gathered during gold rush!

How does the day and night cycle work?
There is no rest for fish lovers! The game features a Day and Night cycle which can affect some sharks' status. Day and Night cycles last 2 minutes before starting again. There are 4 different time stages: night, dusk, dawn and day. For example, the wereshark shifts into its wolf form at nightfall and until dawn. You can find more information about the wereshark in the 'What are the special sharks?' FAQ.

Can I play against my friends?
Hungry Shark Evolution is a single-player game but you can take part in live events to play against other players. You can also take a picture of your shark and share it with your friends!

Classic sharks can equip a variety of accessories and gadgets on five slots: fin, neck, nose, eye, and head.

Some items give you various points bonuses, extra speed, more gold or survivability, while others offer you unique and fintastic abilities. See some details below about a few of our gadgets:

- Laser - It automatically shoots prey from a distance; once stunned, prey can be easily gobbled up. You also earn double points for eating stunned prey. You can combine it with the Jetpack accessory for deadly air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks!
