Puzzle games always have a large following with their challenging and addictive nature because people are always looking for the next big game to play. Shark Dash is the latest in physics puzzle games and is no different than the rest when it comes to becoming a very quick addiction.

The game has a cartoon style to it that adds an element of fun to the challenge. The storyline revolves around Sharkee and his group of toy sharks. The whole lot of them resides in the bathtub, and quite happily at that, until one day some ducks swim along and add chaos to their otherwise peaceful world. The ducks are really quite evil and manage to kidnap Sharkee's girlfriend, Sally, which puts Sharkee and his mates into a tailspin. This is where you come in: it's time to save Sally and get rid of these evil little ducks once and for all.

Gameplay is extremely easy here; all you need to do is drag and release a shark's tail and that will launch him at the evil troublemaker ducks. As you get rid of the ducks, you'll be able to gather coins and work towards finishing the level. The fewer jumps you need to complete a level will earn you more stars at the end. These stars are important because you can use them to unlock all the new levels.

All in all there are four environments you'll be able to navigate through including Japan and Rome, 96 levels (with more promised in upcoming updates), and plenty of cool achievements and missions to unlock.

If you love puzzle games, then this will be a welcome addition to your device. What seems like a simple enough game to play will soon have you realizing it's definitely not easy to master.
