Description
Jaws is a mobile game based on the movie series of the same name. The game is played from a top down perspective and the player's task as the local police chief is to guide swimmers to safety before they are killed by the titular shark. This is done by tapping on each swimmer and then flicking them to make them swim in the desired direction. The aim is to make them reach the shoreline or a boat. The boats are also controlled by the player, similar to how planes are controlled in Flight Control. Once a boat is full the player has to guide it to the edge without crashing with other boats since the swimmers will then end up in the water again. There is also a harpoon boat which can be used to shoot at the shark by dragging a targeting cursor onto it.
