What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We expect Shark Town to be in Early Access for roughly 6 to 8 months, depending on feedback and the pace of improvements.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand the underwater world with additional areas to explore, more sea creatures to play as, new interactive activities, and improved audio and visual polish. We also plan to continue refining controls, accessibility, and overall progression to better support young players and families.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already includes a fully playable underwater environment with core exploration gameplay, simple controls designed for young players, multiple sea creatures, and interactive learning elements. The experience is stable and playable, with ongoing improvements and additional content planned.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to keep the price lower during Early Access and increase it once the full version releases with additional content and polish.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively gather feedback from players and parents through the Steam Community forums and our Discord server. We use this feedback to improve controls, accessibility, and content, ensuring the game remains enjoyable and appropriate for young children.”

About This Game

The Story Behind Shark Town 🦈✨

Shark Town began as a dad building a game for his young kids.

After seeing how much toddlers enjoyed simply exploring and moving around in a safe game world, it became clear that what young children really wanted was freedom to explore without pressure. Many games are still too complex, too fast, or designed for older players. Most experiences don’t truly become accessible until age 6 and up.

So the idea evolved, what if kids could explore a peaceful ocean instead?

Built in Unreal Engine, Shark Town was created as a calm, safe underwater playground where young players can freely swim through a colorful ocean using a controller. Instead of driving trucks, children guide friendly sea creatures like sharks, dolphins, sting rays, and orcas through a welcoming world designed specifically for ages 2 and up.

Controls are intentionally simple. Movement is easy to understand, and pressing controller buttons triggers playful, safe interactions like bubbles, splashes, and joyful ocean effects. There are no enemies, no failure states, no ads, and no pressure, just a relaxing space where curiosity leads the experience.

Shark Town was designed with one simple goal, to give toddlers a safe and joyful first step into video games while discovering the wonder of the ocean.
