''Shark Attack'' is available for a measly $8 bucks at http://psurgdesign.com and it's soundtrack can be downloaded for $5. The game is famous for [[Nintendo Hard|it'sits difficulty]].

=== Shark Attack contains examples of: ===
* [[Action Girl]]: Your only choice of player characters.
* [[Blackout Basement]]: Level 4, the Command Center, features inconsistent lighting that has a knack for going out right before a large mob of enemies barrel down on you.
Line 10:
* [[Difficulty Levels]]: The character you select determines how hard of a time you're going to have. There's Mischief (Easy), Mayhem (Hard), and Fracas (Insane).
* [[Easy Mode Mockery]]: "Having a tough time? Press 'T' on the character select screen to turn on Training Mode!"
* [[Everything Is's Even Worse Withwith Sharks]]: Averted, as all the good guys in the game are sharks.
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Evil aliens have taken over the planet! Are you a bad enough <s>dude</s> chick to save the planet?
* [[Furry Fandom]]: All the protagonists in this game are anthropomorphic sharks. In addition, the game was sold in disk form at Anthrocon 2010.
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: If you're insane/awesome enough to beat the game with Mayhem, who represents Hard mode, you {{spoiler|unlock Fracas, who plays as a boss rush character on "Impossible" difficulty.}}
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]]: One of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AU8lBucS9M trailers] is narrated by John St. John, better known as [[Duke Nukem]].
* [[Homage]]: The game is made to resemble classic 16 bit [[Bullet Hell]] games, in both art style and music.
* [[Horizontal Scrolling Shooter]]
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: On their first attempt at this game, many people are unable to get through level 2 without losing all their lives... on Easy.
* [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]]: They are sharks. They have breasts. It may be justified since they are anthropomorphic sharks.
* [[One -Hit -Point Wonder]]: Regardless of who you play as, you always die in a single hit from anything.
* [[Power Levels]]: Above 100, you gain a handy rotating satellite that shoots every time you do. At 150, you gain another.
* [[Power -Up]]: The Red Carriers drop 25 units of power.
* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]]: Why the Training Mode exists in the first place. Enemies typically follow the same pattern every time you play, and the game becomes significantly easier once you memorize them.
