Death in the Water is a simple yet fun underwater survival game. The goal is to kill as many Great Whites as you can in one life while they tear you to shreds. The more sharks you kill the more that will spawn at one time which is scary, exciting, and challenging. The game is intentionally difficult and only the bravest of divers will survive for long. The sharks can swarm you from all sides which keeps you on the edge of your seat and your heart pumping. I have frantically yelped a few times when being caught off guard and the blood and gore effects add to the mayhem. Not many games pit you flipper to flipper with one of the most deadly creatures of the seas which makes it feel fresh and unique. Your only weapon is a harpoon which does not reload very fast so you have to carefully maneuver the oncoming jaws of razor sharp teeth. The controls and mechanics pair well with the submerged gameplay. The game also keeps track of your best runs which adds replay value, but it would be nice if there was a leaderboard to compare your scores with others. The graphics are surprisingly good, the sharks are impressive and look almost realistic at times, and the water and lighting effects are solid. The game is short and does not offer variety however it still succeeds in being a fun, memorable, and thrilling experience. Sometimes less is more and this game is a good example of that. The game is also inexpensive which makes this an easy recommendation for me.
