The Shark

Updated · Version 0.1.0 · Update notes

What is The Shark?

The Shark is a calendar boss with a base health of 1000 and 3 phases. It appears on The Sinking Ship. If it is still standing at the next booking, it leaves without paying out. Its health grows with the clock, the floor and your difficulty.

"Just sign here."

A shark swimming through the carpet. It drags you in, charges, and can't be hurt for the two seconds it breaches.

What does it do in each phase?

The Shark changes phase as its health falls, using each phase's moves in turn. The telegraphed attacks mark the ground first, so watch the markings and step out rather than trying to outrun everything. Moves come faster in later phases. It also books itself nearer if you run too far away.

Where and when does it appear?

The Shark is booked 1 time across the building. The table gives each floor and the time on the clock. Floors open one at a time, for one department, by winning the one before. Boss health is multiplied by the time it arrives, so a late booking is a tougher fight than the same boss early on.
