7	!!''Shark Attack'' contains examples of:
8	%%* ActionGirl: Your only choice of player characters.
9	* BlackoutBasement: Level 4, the Command Center, features inconsistent lighting that has a knack for going out right before a large mob of enemies barrel down on you.
10	%%* BulletHell: Obvious in the game's choice of genre, but played quite straight in the game's [[spoiler:Impossible mode.]]
11	* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Your enemies can fire in any random direction they want to, but you're never able to fire in any direction but straight ahead. This is made especially infuriating in Hard mode.
12	* DifficultyLevels: The character you select determines how hard of a time you're going to have. There's Mischief (Easy), Mayhem (Hard), and Fracas (Insane).
13	%%* EasyModeMockery: "Having a tough time? Press 'T' on the character select screen to turn on Training Mode!"
14	* ExcusePlot: Evil aliens have taken over the planet! Are you a bad enough [[strike:dude]] chick to save the planet?
15	* HarderThanHard: If you're insane/awesome enough to beat the game with Mayhem, who represents Hard mode, you [[spoiler:unlock Fracas, who plays as a boss rush character on "Impossible" difficulty.]]
16	* {{Homage}}: The game is made to resemble classic 16 bit BulletHell games, in both art style and music.
17	* HorizontalScrollingShooter
18	* NintendoHard: On their first attempt at this game, many people are unable to get through level 2 without losing all their lives... on Easy.
19	* NonMammalMammaries: They are sharks. They have breasts. It may be justified since they are anthropomorphic sharks.
20	* OneHitPointWonder: Regardless of who you play as, you always die in a single hit from anything.
21	* PowerLevels: Above 100, you gain a handy rotating satellite that shoots every time you do. At 150, you gain another.
22	* PowerUp: The Red Carriers drop 25 units of power.
23	* TrialAndErrorGameplay: Why the Training Mode exists in the first place. Enemies typically follow the same pattern every time you play, and the game becomes significantly easier once you memorize them.
