Shark Mountain

Sharks are indeed scary animals, but most people would agree that as long they can't walk on land, we don't really have to fear them that much. Well, it seems the day has come when sharks have finally taken to our land, at least if Shark Mountain is to be believed.In Shark Mountain you play as a shark who, as you can probably guess, is going down a mountain at top speed. As you are falling down, there are people running away and blow up the mountain so as to stop you. The only way not to let them stop you is to make a meal out of them. The good news is that being a shark isn't complicated; you only need to use the left and right arrow keys to make your way down the mountain. Be careful not to get overzealous, as it is possible for you to jump off the mountain, at which point, obviously, the game ends.

Blow Fishing

Regular fishing is fun and all, but in the end it simply becomes far too boring and predictable… you need to up the ante for it to remain interesting, and in Blow Fishing that's exactly what you get to do as you are tasked with capturing as many fish as you can with the help of your trusty dynamite sticks.In Blow Fishing you need to use either the arrow or the WSAD keys in order to move your boat around in the water. To move the targeting reticle around, simply move your mouse cursor. Once you have selected your target you will need to press and hold the left mouse button, and let go whenever the power meter is at the level you want it to be. At the start of every level you are going to be briefed on your objectives, or in other words, the fish you need to catch. Whenever you catch extra fish (on top of what is needed), you are going to receive a slight monetary bonus.

Weekend Fishing

There is nothing like having a free weekend during which there is literally nothing for you to worry about, a weekend you can dedicate entirely to fishing, surrounded by blue, calm and peaceful water. In Weekend Fishing this is pretty much what you are asked to do: kick back, relax, and catch some fish the easy way.In Weekend Fishing you need to click drag and release the mouse on the hook in order to cast it. There are two ways of reeling it in; either with your mouse wheel or by clicking on the fisherman's head. You have a friend along with you providing you with advice as to whether or not the fish you have is worth catching; he seems drunk, but you should definitely listen to him. You should keep an eye on the tension meter of your line, and if you ever think that the fish you have is not worth it, simply click and drag your mouse across the line in order to cut it and save yourself a bit of time.

Fish Me

Life at the bottom of the sea can be hard, especially for a pearl. It is your life's duty to guard the pearl at all costs and make sure it never falls between the nasty shark's teeth. While you certainly can't compete against the shark using your size, you can surely do so using your wits.In Fish Me the only control you are ever going to need to use is your mouse cursor… not even the buttons, just the cursor. All you need to do is stay close to your beautiful pearl as long possible and keep it away from the nasty shark who simply can't seem to stay away from it. Fortunately, there are various bonuses which help you out on your adventure. There is the shell bonus which increases your score by 25 times your level, the bubble shield which protects you against one hit, green algae that give you additional health, ice freeze that renders your enemies unable to move, without forgetting the greatest power-up of all, the star shield, which makes you invulnerable to everything for a short amount of time.
