Spend these rewards on upgrading your sharks abilities or buy special life-saving items. Progress to unlock the most ferocious beasts in the sea: Mako Shark, Hammerhead, Tiger Shark and the almighty Great White."

For the casual gamer, "Hungry Shark Evolution" couldn't be anymore straightforward-- hunt for food and munch on fish, crabs, turtles, and the occasional unsuspecting swimmer. However, for the hardcore shark enthusiast, we've got some really useful tips and tricks that can really help you eke out the maximum shark experience!

1. Zero To Hero

As the title suggests, "Hungry Shark Evolution" features a progression system. Players will start off with a tiny reef shark in unfamiliar waters. The key objective is survival: eat as many fish as possible to earn points and coins. Creatures in gold are worth more coin! At this early stage in the game, focus on saving your coin for purchasing larger sharks. We also recommend players to invest in the basic map. The sea can be a maze!

Players must earn 2000 growth points to access the Mako Shark for 1500 coins. The Hammerhead Shark requires 3,950 growth points and 6000 coins. Next, the Tiger Shark will need 7,350 growth points and 15,000 coins. The fan favorite Great White Shark will require 14,500 growth points to unlock and 35,000 coins for purchase. Last but not least, the mythical Megalodon Shark requires 42,550 growth points and 50,000.

2. You gotta pay to play.

As you can see, the fastest way to get ahead in "Hungry Shark Evolution" is to earn as many coins and gems as possible. Don't forget to like the game's Facebook page to earn free gems.

Before starting the game to unleash chaos in the seas, make sure you tap into the free coins and gems shop. Tap on the diamonds total option, located at the right hand corner of the evolve screen. There are a number of trailers that are available to watch each day. While it might seem tedious, every video watched earns 100 coins and a gem.

Remember my recommendation for a basic map? The map will come in handy in forming your daily habit of collecting the Daily Reward Treasure chest. In the tunnel below and to the left where the Reef Shark starts is the daily treasure chest, which gives 100 coins on Day 1, 200 coins on Day 2, 300 coins on Day 3, 400 coins on Day 4, and restarts the cycle on Day 5.

3. Gold Rush or Bust

Trigger "Gold Rush" events when your shark has earned a points total milestone. When the milestone is reached, the Gold Rush mode activates to offer the player a brief moment where anything edible turns to gold for the maximum payout. Feast on as many creatures as possible before the Gold Rush mode expires.

4. Travel in Pairs

The ocean is dangerous, so don't travel alone. Baby sharks are fantastic pals that will swim along side your main shark and help you eat whatever it is that's in your way. What's more, baby sharks also bump your stamina bar so that means you're less likely to die from underwater mines, poisonous sea animals, diver spears, or attacks from bigger sharks.

The Baby Reef Shark offers +5 Stamina and costs 1000 Coins. The Baby Mako Shark gives you +10 Stamina and costs 20 gems. Next, the Baby Hammerhead Shark adds +15 Stamina and costs 60 Gems. The Baby Tiger Shark adds +20 Stamina and costs 130 Gems. The Baby Great White Shark offers +25 Stamina and costs 300 Gems. Finally, the Baby Megalodon Shark features +30 Stamina and costs 900 Gems.

5. Giant Crab And Submarine!

The bigger the shark, the bigger its enemies. First, the Giant Crab is located inside a lair that is located at the bottom left section of the map. While a high-level Megalodon Shark can easily take on a giant crab, careful planning at strategy can allow a smaller shark to attack a giant crab as well. First, purchase the Crab Form accessory in order to deal more damage to giant enemy crabs.

At the same time, avoid at least 3 strikes from the pincer in order to expose the crabs weakness via a glowing weak indicator. Be warned: the bigger the crab, the longer its range of attack!

As for submarines, avoid taking shots from the vessel as it takes away your health and stamina very quickly. However the, only way to take down a submarine is to attack it head-on. Time your boost perfectly to ram your shark into the front of the submarine. We recommend speed and boost upgrades for the endeavor.
