Feeding Frenzy
It's survival of the biggest in this deep sea challenge. Swim your way from the safety of the reefs to the depths of the open ocean in your struggle to reach the top of the food chain. Can you eat enough to get big enough to face down the Shark King?
I’d been avoiding this game because it just didn’t seem like it would appeal to me. I normally like games in the same genre as Diner Dash and Wild West Wendy, so a game about little fish eating one another didn’t really grasp my interest.
Finally I gave it a shot though, and was pleasantly surprised as I swam my little fish around, gobbling smaller fish so I could grow large enough to eat the predators attempting to eat me! There’s a certain amount of accomplishment when your fish grows in size the first time, and you can eat the fish that have been swimming after you hungrily.
The levels are all refreshingly different, adding new objectives such as collecting all the fish in the area, stealing pearls from carnivorous clams, and sneaking a bite on the tail of the fearsome barracuda. This keeps the game fresh, saves it from falling into the fatal repetition of some others.
The graphics are decent and cute, and though the underwater sounds are fitting, I never listen to the music when I’m playing games, so I can’t effectively offer a review for that part of it.
Though I’ve only played the demo version, the simple yet entertaining gameplay is really appealing, and I’m looking forward to trying Feeding Frenzy 2.

As an extra bonus, Feeding Frenzy comes with a screen saver, which you can unlock by playing the demo. It is great to have an aquarium on your desktop. The smart thing about a screen saver is that you won't forget the name of that demo you played and uninstalled. Buying the wrong game by mistake after forgetting name of the demo, does not feel good at all.
Don't uninstall your demo when you're done. Settings for the fish tank Screen saver are in the game, and your fish will go away and you will have to reload it and play it again to get your fish back.
The graphics are nicely illustrated fish with big appetites. As you progress through your feeding frenzies, your fish is upgraded... up the food chain to bigger and bigger fish. There are nice fish tales and facts at the end of each stage. The game seems a little short to me. However, this turns out to be a good thing. It's refreshing to be a gamer and actually have a list of games that you can finish. Remember, every one who likes to play isn't an adult. That's right! What about the kids, the children? We have been so demanding on our game designers to add this and that and more challenges that the kids have to grow up before they can play. Feeding frenzy is a game that a kid can finish. Once you complete a stage it remains open to select at any time.
Feeding Frenzy is a delightful and challenging game that I am sure you will find enjoyable.

Feeding Frenzy is a fun little arcade action game about undersea Darwinism. What you do in it is eat any fish that's smaller than you are, simply by guiding your fish around a small 2D area teeming with undersea life--and occasional explosive mines as well as pearl-bearing oysters, for good measure. Power-ups temporarily speed you up and freeze all other fish in place, helping to keep things interesting. The two modes of play let you munch through several dozen stages either against the clock or not. The game's slippery feel fits the setting well, and your fish has a couple of abilities: It can lunge forward or vacuum up anything in front of it at the touch of a button.
There's always fresh fish on the menu in Feeding Frenzy, a short-lived but compelling little action game.
The game's graphics are simple, crisp, and colorful, especially in HD, and it's satisfying to watch your fish grow bigger and bigger during the course of one of Feeding Frenzy's brief levels. The chomping noises and upbeat soundtrack fit the game well, and the cartoony look makes this one suitable for Finding Nemo fans of all ages.
Feeding Frenzy might not have what it takes to keep you coming back for more, but it provides simple, addictive fun for an hour or two. A dozen unlockable achievements and online leaderboards entice you to play through the main modes and then to stick around for a while to accomplish some tougher challenges. At about $20, the price of admission is a little steep for this one, but you'll find it to be a nice, mindless diversion if you give it a shot.

All fishes are the same size as the rest of their species (except for the exception below). If you can eat one lionfish, you can eat them all!!!The King Shark is a giant shark. It is like the Barracuda in later levels. But, how will a humble angelfish defeat an overgrown shark? Oh, wait a minute, a spoiler!
At certain levels, you swith to a larger fish. The last level will be played as an Orca!
