SharkAttack on Twitch — competition and audience

Shark Attack is a persistent, chat-driven Twitch game where viewers each control their own shark and progress in real time through the streamer’s browser overlay. Players hunt fish, bite rival sharks, battle roaming bosses, and swim to different ocean locations for bonuses, all through simple chat commands. A pearl-based economy lets players buy items, cosmetic skins, and consumables from an in-game shop, or wager pearls at shark-themed slot machines and a Plinko board. Players level up, evolve their shark through multiple tiers, and can join a School (a guild-like group) to raid rival Schools for loot. Energy and Health systems shape how aggressively players can act, adding light resource management to the moment-to-moment chat interactions. The game runs entirely through Twitch chat and a browser-based overlay — no download required to play.
