Shark Swimulator is a game about a shark who needs to "rescue" a diver from his underwater prison. Are you a shark enough dude to save him?!
Shark Swimulator was created using the *awesome* LÖVE game framework. We used a preview build of LÖVE 0.10.0 and that is required to run the source. The Windows build is pre-built so it should run fine on any hardware that supports OpenGL 2.1.
Shark Swimulator is translated in English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Russian and a bonus language. The game is also fully voiced in English, German, and the bonus language.
Hotkeys:
F9: Change the language
Pause: Mute audio
Alt+Enter: Full screen
Controls:
WS/ud: swim around
QE: Zoom camera
Mouse: Rotate camera
This game has gamepad support and should work with any Xbox 360 or compatible controller. If your controller doesn't work, try launching the game from Steam.
Basic Mechanics:
Slam your sexy shark face into the rope or cage to save the diver from his bonds.
Additional Information:
If you get a crash or the game won't run, you can grab a crash.log file from %APPDATA% (or your OS's equivalent). Please send us the crash log and your system specs in one of the methods listed at the top of the crash.log file.
Thank you for playing our game! We look forward to your feedback! <3

Loved the puns. Great voiceover work!
Haha, fun little game.
Your honest feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to hearing more in the coming weeks! <3
With that out of the way, let me just say WOW. I remember your entry from the last LD, it was impressive to see a 3d game made with a 2d engine. This time it is just on a whole new level. The game is gorgeous, it plays extremely well and has great performance. The game felt very polished, everything from the menu and credits to the actual game. I am super excited to see what you guys will make in the future.
Finally, well done on the voiceover!
@Windmill Games: Thanks! <3
If there are some item in water for us to see, the depth comparison will be better.
Bug : Shark can go through the ground
Graphics are awesome, as well as the sound effects and the voice work!. It was too short though!
5 out of 5 Starfish.
P.S: Also loved the extra language.
Graphics are simple but very tasteful. I felt the underwater feel. The sun brightness when swimming up was nice.
I think the diver should be in view when starting the level. It took me a while to find him. I think he was right on top of me. I'd suggest a chomp button for the shark biting the rope maybe.
Well done!
The controls seem kinda wonky IMO, but I love the game :p
While the graphics and visuals are extremely polished and very pleasing to look at, the game lacks contents (I think there are only two missions in the game). Also props for the very good voice-over and translation in 9!! different languages, I have hardly seen games that have been translated into even one.
nice particles, ui, voice acting, and phpceo.
on the downside i think the gameplay was a bit weird and the game was very very short. also i dont know if i finished the game the correct way since it kind of bugged out at the end (there are a few seconds where you do not appear to be calling glclear or equivalent).
still, overall very nice.
Funny game idea, I also like the compile logs in your credits.
I just had a small problem in the last stage. It says I should press A to beat the boat. But I doesn't work, because it means the A button on a gamepad. I played on a keyboard, but luckily I had a gamepad connected and finished the game :D
