Shark Island
Welcome to Shark Island, the exciting strategy tower defense game where you are the only survivor on a deserted island and must defend it from ferocious sharks! This game was created for the Brackeys Game Jam 2023.1, where it was developed in just one week.
Your mission is to protect your island from the vicious shark attacks and reach the highest level possible. The game features procedurally generated islands and tower defense gameplay, where you have to use your wits and strategy to survive.

You can place cannons and repair your island as the sharks attack, earning 5 coins for every shark you kill.
So, are you ready to become the ultimate Island Defender and face the challenge of Shark Island? Play now and find out! And stay tuned for the exciting update that will take your gaming experience to the next level lol.

I really liked this game - came here from your YouTube video. Fun game!
Great game! Very rarely inspired to play after watching a Game Dev Youtuber but this I had to see and played for a decent amount of time. I agree with comments that I ended up saving coins for the renewed map at the sacrifice of tiles for the current island. Would be good to reward saving the current island to help defend the next.
This game is brilliant.
Good game! I think this could work if you could can figure out how to port it to a phone!
yea this game is great!! keep it up you can see i suck
i cant download the updated version, why?
Awesome game, video brought me here. Would love to see the ability to place new tiles, or maybe receiving a coin bonus at the end of each round for how many tiles you have. The second idea might need tile generation to be based off of how many tiles you started with vs how many you ended with.
oh ya thats a great idea! if i do another update ill ad that fasho
wow! This game is awesome and your video is better! I just discovered your channel and I think I'm gonna stick to it!
Any chance this will go open source so we can contribute?
hey just saw you paid for the game, wow! thank you! you are the first and yes i can try to make in open source, i've gotta create a new github for the channel!
No problem! Any update on the github?
This game is really well-made for having a seven-day time limit! I want to be a game-dev and this inspires me to do so, I like the game and you need to continue on updating it, maybe you could one or two more different towers to place with different stats like a quick archer and melee swordsman, I think you should keep the cannons but add human characters like manguy012 said and maybe some sort of other enemy like a jellyfish that can electrify tiles (you take damage or lose if you step on them) or stun you or your towers, I love this game I would rate it (as of 13 of April 2023) a 7/10.
wow actually great ideas in there, thanks for playing!
Make it mobile
maybe!
This actually so addicting when you get into the rhythm of it!! You should defo flesh this out more. I like how you have to multitask and use the geography to your advantage. Highest i got so far was level 10
you should make the cannons little archer men so theres more emotional attachment. it kinda feels like leading an army against an invasion. Also the game doesnt pause when you press escape, idk if thats by design or not. My only problem is that its kinda annoying to grind to get to a high level
haha thats a good idea, ya i only had seven days to do it so i didnt have much time to do 3d modeling, upgrades etc.
Nice game entry! Enjoyed playing it, but I guess it still could be a bit easier regarding the increasing difficulty.
A few small things:
All in all, really nice game!
thank you so much for playing! ya all of those ideas are great, if i ever do an update in the future i will fasho add some of those
Can’t wait :) And nice job with the video!
yea good video
great ideas! thanks for playing
cool game but why i can't swim, like being in the water for 5 seconds and the you drown and it has a timer from 0 to 5
thats a great idea actually! i will definitely add that in the future if i make an update
also it would be nice if the sharks stoped when you pause the game =,)
