ABOUT

8-Bit Swim is an arcade styled mobile game where you play as a shark exploring the endless ocean.

You can collect coins to purchase more sharks to play as, along with more locations to explore. If you're lucky, you may find a rare gem. These gems can be used to unlock special sharks, locations and even powerups.

Each area has a unique background and obstacles. The coins you find in each area is also different. Some coins are worth more than others, so keep an eye out for them.

8-Bit Swim has an in-game "Goals" system. You are tasked with 3 randomly generated Goals. While out adventuring, these goals can be completed. Once a goal is completed, you are rewarded with a rare gem and assigned a new goal in its place.

Powerups can be purchased from the shop for a few gems. Each powerup has to be activated and will then be used in the next run. Powerups are single-use but provide a big advantage to you. For example, one grants an extra life, whilst another make coins worth twice as much. Powerups stay active when you finish a run, and will continue working into the next. However, if you run out of a powerup, it will disable itself and cannot be used. Make sure to buy some more from the shop, you can stock up quite a lot of them.

While in a run, you can collect coins to increase your "Streak". Streaks provide a massive score bonus and even multiply the amount of coins you collect. But be careful, missing a coin will cause the streak to reset to 0. Make sure to collect as many coins as you can, and try not to miss any.

I had fun making 8-Bit Swim and I hope you enjoy playing it!
