What is the deadliest creature in the ocean? Trick question. They’re people. Well, sharks are quite deadly. But don’t let me go on about that aged chestnut that you’re more likely to die from lightning or cows than from a shark. Instead, enjoy the brutal action of Maneater, coming to iOS and Android later this year!
Since then “Jaws” hit theaters in the tardy 1970ssharks have experienced something of an advertising drought. And while sharks are secure enough as long as you don’t provoke them, the mental image of a merciless eating machine lingers long enough to take on a life of its own.
Hint: Maneater. Tripwire Interactive presents the brutal, bloody action of a shark attack movie. In which you transform from an ordinary shark puppy into a huge mega shark while avoiding the clutches of a deranged shark hunter and devouring these tasty, tasty land mammals.
Have you ever played Maneater on your mobile phone, Mr. Hooper?
Maneater itself is a riff on some of the Jaws spinoffs that hold a special place in many gamers’ hearts. Offering a try-before-you-buy model, you’ll be able to jump into the jaws of the titular Maneater and experience the fast-paced, arcade-style gameplay for yourself.
Maneater offers surprising depth for something that is, on the surface (hah, nautical puns) a pretty one-sided idea. But between upgrading your shark with pioneering stunts and a full-fledged storyline that will keep you hooked, there are plenty of reasons to check out Maneater when it premieres in December.
It can be challenging to keep up with all these great releases. But you can always stay ahead of the curve by checking out our list of the best pliable launch mobile games to get early news on upcoming hits!
