Life beneath the ocean’s surface is truly awe-inspiring. It’s a world filled with beauty, diversity, and survival stories of every creature that calls it home. In this vast underwater realm, there are powerful hunters lurking in the depths, while prey species can only hope to survive another day. It’s a constant battle for survival. However, despite humankind’s knack for encroaching on their territory, these remarkable creatures manage to persevere. This delicate balance between dedication and luck is beautifully depicted in the game “Beach Whale.”
“Beach Whale” is a captivating iOS/Android app developed by Indie Gaming Company. Although the game is set to be officially launched on November 26th, 2012, we had the opportunity to get a sneak peek thanks to the developer. This thrilling underwater game puts you in the role of a whale fighting for its survival in the vast ocean. What sets this game apart from others is its unique features and gameplay.
The game takes place in various locations, such as the Fisherman Wharf and the Rocky Shore. Each location presents its own set of obstacles. For instance, the Fisherman Wharf is abundant with traps, while the Rocky Shore is littered with large rocks that block your path. To overcome these challenges, you have an array of power-ups and weapons at your disposal. Use tilt controls to navigate the whale upwards and downwards. Along the way, collect items like fish, bombs, and other treasures to enhance your gameplay. These bombs can be used to destroy obstacles or fight against enemies such as rocks and other sea creatures.
“Beach Whale” offers four exciting game modes: normal, boss, survival, and super boss. The boss levels provide a real challenge, with difficulty levels increasing to test your skills. For those seeking a true test of their abilities, there’s the hardcore version, which offers an intense gaming experience. Prepare yourself to face four formidable bosses: a massive octopus, an angry shark, a giant crab, and a blade-spinning turtle. These adversaries will make sure you don’t leave the battlefield unscathed. However, the game provides ample opportunities for redemption through upgrades like tail swaps and tongue enhancements. You can even upgrade your entire fish to a new species altogether.
The gameplay of “Beach Whale” is captivating, simple, and refreshing, as the developer has introduced unique elements that distinguish it from other similar games. Unlike many underwater games where players have to contend with mechanics like surfacing for air at regular intervals or slow movement due to water resistance, “Beach Whale” focuses on the true experience of being a fish. This attention to detail sets the game apart and elevates it to new heights.
We thoroughly enjoyed “Beach Whale.” Its captivating gameplay, abundance of elements, challenging boss levels, and realistic mechanics make it a standout among underwater apps. Although the graphics may be average, the overall experience more than compensates for it.

- Interesting gameplay

In conclusion, “Beach Whale” is a must-have application for gaming enthusiasts seeking an immersive underwater experience. Get ready to dive into an enchanting world and embark on a thrilling adventure. You can download the application on iTunes.
