Informazioni sul gioco

Screensaver mode

In screensaver mode the game will be in single player mode, locked in first-person (shark), the HUD will be disabled, and the sharks movement will become more static allowing the player to move around and create beautiful underwater screensavers.

Wallpaper mode

This mode is similar to screensaver mode except the movement controls are now mouse-click driven in order to support the software called "Wallpaper engine" that players have requested / mentioned in the past.
