About this game
Alive Sharks casts you as a diving biologist collecting small marine creatures. Touch a specimen to capture it, then return it to the cage. Sharks patrol the water, and the stun gun only disables them temporarily. The cage is a refuge: its protective field keeps enemies away while you plan another trip.
Movement continues after a direction is chosen, rather than stopping when you release a key. Arrow keys steer and Space fires in keyboard mode. In mouse mode, a small mouse movement changes the swimmer’s direction; it does not position him directly under the pointer. Left-click fires and right-click opens the menu. Choose the input device in the installation menu.
The archived v1.2 shareware release provides the Sharks game. The Raybats and Killer Jelly-Fish modes described in the manual belonged to the registered edition. Use the Speed menu if the action is too fast, and remember that stunned enemies recover sooner as the levels become harder.
