From the Play description

It also states that “Become the ultimate predator in this offline adventure shark game where you’ll rule the ocean and eat your way through an underwater open world to explore”. Another line from the listing: “Take control of a mighty, hungry shark and survive as long as possible by eating everything in sight”. The listing goes on to say “It’s eat or be eaten in this shark adventure simulator where your mission is simple: explore, grow, evolve and survive”. One more point the description makes: “Start as a small fish and work your way up the ocean’s food chain, evolving your shark through multiple levels until you dominate the underwater world”.

The description says: “Hunt, eat, and attack whales, fish, birds, and more”. In the developer’s words, “This offline game lets you explore its open world, and feels like an RPG”. It also states that “Play offline without Wi-Fi while keeping the action going”. All of this comes from the store listing, so treat it as the developer’s pitch rather than a hands-on verdict.
