Miami Shark
Describe Miami Shark here.
(Everything's Even Worse with Sharks + Stuff Blowing Up) X Serial Escalation= Miami Shark. Easy!
Oh... you want a real explanation? Well, we can try...
Miami Shark is a Flash game hosted on Newgrounds, chronicling the exploits of a shark in Miami as it goes about its daily routine of eating dolphins, scuba divers, surfers, and pulling unsuspecting aircraft down several hundred feet to a watery doom, from small one-man helicopters all the way up to a B-52 Stratofortress. The sequel, Sydney Shark, takes place (obviously) in the waters near Sydney, Australia, as your shark aims to drag down even more absurd categories of self-propelled objects, such as crocodile-shaped passenger jets, a UFO, culminating with a nuclear missile. The new sequel, New York Shark, allows you to eat the Statue of Liberty among other things.
It's a strange game.
- Apocalypse How: In Sydney Shark, the Shark ends up bringing down a missile that causes a huge nuclear explosion seen from space.
- Taken to its most extreme when the Shark brings down a meteor and ends up destroying the entire earth.
- The Cameo: In New York Shark you get to fight King Kong by biting off his head.
- Crazy Awesome: DO NOT mess with this shark.
- Death From Above: That leap? You can crush boats with it, not to mention people.
- Not to mention bring down anything from Cessnas to a Chinese missile!
- Everything's Even Worse with Sharks:
- Extreme Omnivore: You also eat surfers and windsurfers pretty much in one bite, too.
- Made of Explodium: Anything you pull underwater.
- Stuff Blowing Up: Everything else that doesn't bleed.
- Nice Hat: You get to pick one up before you really get started in the sequel.
- Nuke'Em: Take a guess what happens when the shark pulls down the nuclear missile.
- Refuge in Audacity
- Rule of Cool
- Rule of Funny: Go ahead, laugh as the stealth bomber goes invisible. We understand.
- And how does an astronaut respond from space when he sees a nuke blast Sydney? "Shark!"
- What happened to the Shark after it destroyed the earth via meteor? It's now floating towards Mars, and is somehow still alive.
- Serial Escalation: You are a shark, who leaps several hundred feet into the air to catch its prey. And what are you hunting? Helicopters, airlines, attack jets, stealth bombers, space shuttles, UFOs, a goddamn nuclear missile...
- Shout-Out: A couple in the sequel; the hat the shark picks up is similar to the one worn by Crocodile Dundee, and when you take down a living, breathing crocodile plane'', Steve Irwin pops up. You can't eat him, but then again you probably wouldn't be able to even if you had the chance. [1]
- Villain Protagonist: The shark, wanton property damage and mass murder isn't exactly heroic...
- What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?
