Sharks and Minnows

Sharks and Minnows is a competitive chase game that focuses on fast reactions, group coordination, and split-second strategy. Set within vibrant aquatic arenas, the experience is built around two alternating roles—one group plays as nimble minnows trying to reach the safety zone, while the other plays as predatory sharks attempting to tag and convert their opponents. The core gameplay relies on player intuition and unpredictable movement, creating chaotic, thrilling rounds where no two matches feel the same.

Role Dynamics: How the Chase Works

Each round begins with a split between minnows and sharks. Minnows must dart from one side of the arena to the other without being tagged, often making use of narrow tunnels, coral reefs, or terrain that limits visibility. Once tagged, minnows become sharks for the rest of the round, shifting the odds in real time. A round ends when all minnows are caught or one successfully reaches the safe zone after multiple passes.

• Role-switching mechanics: Being tagged instantly changes your strategy and objectives.
• Team and solo modes: You can work as a group or take on individual survival runs.
• Interactive map features: Bubble currents, destructible objects, and hidden tunnels add variation.

Effective Strategies for Both Sides

Regardless of your assigned role, survival and domination require both reflexes and foresight. Mastering the arena and watching your opponent’s habits can make all the difference:

1. As a Minnow:
   • Use short bursts of speed instead of sprinting constantly.
   • Stick close to obstacles to break line-of-sight.
   • Use team distractions to slip past the defense unnoticed.
2. As a Shark:
   • Flank the edges of the arena to cut off escape routes.
   • Communicate with teammates to close in from multiple angles.
   • Use boosts and lunges wisely—timing is everything.

Game Modes and Unlockables

• Arcade progression: Unlock new underwater skins and character traits through successful rounds.

Whether you’re evading with a team or hunting solo, the game’s design rewards players who pay attention, work together, and strike with precision.
