Genre and what to do:
Seek and Find game. Imagine that you wake up on a desert exotic island with no idea how you have appeared there. It sounds strange, but that is the point at which you begin playing Mystery of Shark Island. You sit on the seashore looking at incoming waves that cast ashore treasures together with useless junk. Your task is to examine the shore, brush shells, and lift stones in order to find and gather shells that correspond to the list. Use hint in difficult situations but remember that it takes time to recharge hint again. There are two game modes: Story and Arcade. Story Mode offers you to explore ten exotic islands, collecting shells and statue pieces. You should act quickly since your goal is to find all the items from the list within time limit. As you advance in the game, darkened shells' shapes appear; it makes game play much challenging because you are to guess, which shell matches the shape. There are five unique power-ups that are cast ashore with waves; click on them to unleash their power. When you complete an island, you are to solve portal puzzle in order to proceed to the next one. Arcade Mode challenges you to survive as long as you can and gain maximum score.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
Mystery of Shark Island is a captivating game that features colorful graphics, rich sound effects and pleasant music. Graphics is well done; shells, water and seashores look amazing and realistic. There is quite interesting story that develops as you advance in the game. Unfortunately it is represented as bare text. On the highlights is special medal room, where you post medals, earned for outstanding results. All in all, Mystery of Shark Island is one of the best seek-and-find games nowadays, since it features innovative game concept and variety of twists, such as multiplier and chain bonuses, power-ups, medal room, global high score list, rechargeable hint, and portal puzzles. I recommend it to play to all fans of this genre since it brings you tons of fun and helps to develop visual memory.
