Feeding Frenzy

Title screen

**Feeding Frenzy** is a game on RealArcade that was released on February 11, 2004, and was available on the service until it shut down in 2013.

## Description

It’s survival of the biggest in this deep sea challenge.  Swim your way from the safety of the reefs to the depths of the open ocean in your struggle to reach the top of the food chain.  Can you eat enough to get big enough to face down the Shark King?  Thrilling power-ups will help you get an edge, but it’s going to take a swift tail and some fancy fin work to keep from being someone’s lunch. Stunningly beautiful graphics and hilarious sounds bring the sea to life on your PC, while two addictive game modes are sure to keep you in a frenzy for hours and hours.

## How to Play

Overview

Can you make it to the top of the food chain?  Eat the fish that are smaller than you and you’ll grow big enough to eat all the fish.  Watch out for predators because they’re looking for a seafood snack too!

Controls

Play Feeding Frenzy with your mouse.

Move your mouse to move your fish.  Click the Left Mouse Button for a quick burst of speed.  Once you’ve acquired the ability, click the Right Mouse Button to suck in a big gulp of water, and all the nearby fish!

Playing Feeding Frenzy

The deep sea is a treacherous place.  In order to get your lunch, you’re going to need to be swift and avoid all the predators.

At the top of the screen is your growth chart.  This also indicates your current menu.  Eat the fish that are smaller than you by swimming towards them.  The more you eat, the bigger you’ll grow - and your menu will include more and more fish.  Become the top of the food chain, and you’ll move on to the next level.

Can you grow big enough to become an Orca and face the Shark King?

There are two game modes in Feeding Frenzy: New Game and Time Attack.

There is no time pressure in NEW GAME mode.  Simply eat and eat until you get to the top of the food chain.  As you progress you will unlock new fish on your way to the open ocean.  Feeding Frenzy automatically saves your progress and you can continue from where you left off when you begin again - or go back and play a favorite level.

TIME ATTACK mode is the same as New Game mode, but now there’s a timer.  Reach the top of food chain before the timer runs out!

Hints and Tips
