One of the most original ideas so far! Cool game!

The movement sound and shark graphic are both incredibly satisfying. Simple but fun gameplay, but I kept playing for the sound haha

Had a little problem because of not having the necessary libraries, but just in case anyone else gets an error asking for MSVCR110.dll, here you can find it: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

Now, about the game. One thing for sure, first time I ever see not just a sand shark, but a shark that swims in reverse!
The perspective, controls and the way the scenario rotates reminds me of an specific arcade game named Metal Hawk. But this one includes the natural badassery of a shark!

This is a really neat idea. I like the base mechanic but the skeletons kept spawning right on top of me most of the time, so I'd get instantly killed. The sharks "NOM" noise is great and I think you did a nice job with the theme.

LOL, I had fun with this one! Graphics are very cool, congratulations!
Have you seen this (or were inspired by this)?

Hey great game here ! The gameplay is very cool and Itried several time to beat my score.

The fact that we need the mouse at the titlescreen and the game over screen is also a little bit annoying... Maybe there is no need for a game over screen and the game could automatically restart (think Super Meat Boy). And I think that less rocks should be better, to make player movements easier.

However, it is a great entry, with great fun potential.

When I try to run it, I get this error: Not a valid Win32 application.

:(

Shark is a little bit slow for me. But idea is very nice.
Also liked your music!

Haha, lots of fun :D But some graphics could use a rework, hope the game will be further improved
