Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that building Half Shark Escape together with our community is the best way to create a truly fun and polished game.
Early Access allows us to gather player feedback, fine-tune the gameplay mechanics, improve physics interactions, and shape upcoming levels and features based on what players love most. By involving you early in the development process, we can ensure the final release delivers the best possible experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for a few months while we work toward the full release (version 2.0).
During this period, we will focus on implementing planned mechanics, adding new content, and refining the gameplay experience based on player feedback. However, this timeline may adjust depending on community input and overall development progress.”

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

“We plan to focus on refining the game's core mechanics and improving overall gameplay balance throughout Early Access.
Key improvements planned for the full version include:

- New character customization options for players.

- Potential new maps and levels, depending on community feedback and interest.

- Quality-of-life updates and user experience enhancements.

- Features, adjustments, and content additions requested directly by our community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Half Shark Escape is fully playable and packed with core features for both single-player and co-op multiplayer.
Currently included in the game:

- Physics-based mechanics allowing players to latch on and swing through environmental obstacles.

- A unique hot-potato bomb key mechanics, used to unlock deeper doors before time runs out.

- 1 complete map featuring 4 distinct areas with unique gameplay mechanics.

- 4 difficulty levels to challenge players in both single-player and multiplayer modes.

- Integrated proximity voice chat for real-time communication and chaotic moments.

- A variety of playable characters to choose from.”

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

“We do not plan to change the price during or after Early Access. We believe the current price is fair and reflects the full value of the game as we continue to refine and expand the experience alongside our community.”

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

“We plan to maintain close, transparent communication with our players throughout Early Access.
To keep the community engaged, we will:

- Stay highly active across our official Discord server, Reddit, and the Steam Community Hub, giving players direct access to the development team to share feedback, report bugs, and suggest new features.

- Host AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions to answer questions directly and discuss community ideas.”

About This Game

Escape Area 51

Half Shark - Escape is a cooperative 3D platformer where you and your friends play as genetically modified sharks trapped inside Area 51. Your goal is simple: escape. Work together using physics-based movement, your tongue, and proximity voice chat to overcome obstacles and keep each other alive. The problem? The key to your escape is also a bomb. Keep it safe, pass it around, and make it through before it blows up.

Key Features


Use your tongue to survive

The Half Sharks have the unique ability to attach themselves to various surfaces using their tongues. Master this swinging and grappling mechanic to make your descent possible (and avoid fatal falls!).

Explosive teamwork

The bomb is your key to escaping Area 51 — and it gets to decide who should carry it next. Pass it to the chosen player to reset the timer, keep it safe, and work together before someone inevitably blows it up.

Explore the unknown

Overcome diverse challenges and deadly obstacles scattered across the game's many different maps.
