Leading German publisher of mobile games HandyGames has just announced that a fully-featured free version of the he hilariously tongue-in-cheek shark simulator Shark or Die is now available for download in the Google Android Market.

What this game is all about includes the possibility for Android phone owners to impersonate an ocean predator interested in getting its revenge against those who hunt sharks.

“After the release of our hit title Guns'n'Glory, Shark or Die continues our strategy of building a fan base on the Android platform by releasing fully-featured FREE and AD-FREE versions,” comments Markus Kassulke, CEO of HandyGames.

“The high user ratings and the massive number of downloads of our two latest games clearly show that there is great potential for future growth on the Android platform,” he continued.

Gamers would have to bite anything that comes in their way, including swimmers, rubber ducks, and more.

“Watch from the sea bed as these lethal hunters strike with chilling speed and efficiency and even gobble up your own friends! Yummy! Collect achievements to let your feeding machine reach new levels,” the company notes.

The game comes with various levels, with new abilities and instincts for the predator there to be discovered, and with training available via allocating killpoints.

Some of the main features of Shark or Die include:

- Shark simulator with comic strip visuals and lots of black humor - Route planning and real-time hunting - Different types of swimmers - Use your own friends as shark bait - Different scenarios with varied graphics - Buy special expansion packs for individual shark shenanigans

Moreover, the solution enables users to compare their scores against scores of friends, with highscore rankings available for the best gamers.

According to HandyGames, the Shark or Die solution is available in the Android Market as a free and ad-free version.
