Ever since Jaws, sharks have had a bad rep. But maybe it’s time to face your fears and join them for a feeding frenzy. Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting you go shark cage diving – take the plunge into Hungry Shark World instead and roam the oceans while devouring everything in sight. It’s survival of the hungriest in this incredibly moreish game. Here are five tips to help you eat well, and avoid being eaten.

Survey your area
Sure, you might want to eat everything as fast as possible, but you’ll get more multipliers by eating several fish in a row – that’s why it’s best to try to organise your meal plan to ensure maximum bonuses. Having a map handy will help you strategise, so you don’t end up eating for the sake of it. Remember, you eat to win!

Take ’em to school!
Eating an entire school of fish isn’t only a great meal for your shark, it will also net you extra bonus points. That’s why it’s important to line up a school perfectly and be smart with your boosts to ensure a flawless bite.

Boost wisely
Holding a boost for too long is a terrible habit – you may end up running out right when you need it most. Be conservative with your boosts to ensure you always have a little something left in the tank. You never know when a speedy gemfish might make an appearance.

Know your shark
Every species of shark has pros and cons. It’s best to find your rhythm and your play style, and then choose the shark that best complements your specific skill set. From Heidi, the shark that can easily hide in its surroundings, to the wide jaw of the Smooth Hammerhead, you’ll have plenty of options – it’s just a matter of knowing which one works for you.

Think before you rush
During a Gold Rush, you’ve more speed than ever, and that means you can really hightail it to where you need to go. But although it may seem like the perfect time to speed and eat, finding one good location can allow you to set yourself up for future success and a better long-term score.
