Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party allows your children to enjoy a safe gaming experience. What’s more, its rhythm-based mechanics allow parents to test their patience and skills. Accordingly, this is an ideal game for all the family. Furthermore, you’ll be surprised by how many versions of Baby Shark have been created.

This straightforward child-friendly endeavour was developed by RecoTechnology SL and published by Outright Games. What’s more, this simple game has plenty of collectables to find and loads of stages to enjoy. Additionally, it doesn’t punish poor execution, so younger gamers can have fun throughout.

Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party is about as deep as a puddle!

The developers won’t be winning any awards for their storytelling. Unfortunately, Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party is about as deep as a puddle. Subsequently, the shallow story is lacking in complexity and this impacts engagement levels. However, my kids didn’t care as the gameplay was eye-wateringly vivid and the music never stopped. 

The story focuses on the shark family and their ocean trip to the world’s greatest festival. To get to this mind-blowing event, the family must cross vast oceans that are occasionally laced with danger. En route, they will sing and dance and find collectables. I’m between each level you’ll enjoy a small cutscene. This cinematic adds context but does little to enhance the rudimentary plot.

2 distinct game modes. 

Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party delivers 2 distinct game modes. This was an excellent move that helped youngsters to remain on track. The first mode is a rhythm-based experience. As familiar songs play, you’ll be asked to tap, hold, or press a specific button. On top of this, there is a trap that must be avoided. As the level unfolds, you must time your inputs perfectly. If you manage to do this, you’ll be awarded 3 stars and you’ll master the song. Furthermore, you have perfected that level and this allows you to complete the game. 

The second game mode concentrates on avoiding obstacles whilst collecting stars and cards. This is the more challenging of the 2 options, as it requires finesse and patience. Additionally, it is filled with obstacles to avoid and wind to counteract. Subsequently, you must divide your attention and think fast if you wish to excel in this game mode.

Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party is vivid and interesting. 

Though the gameplay follows a rigid pattern, it captivated my munchkins. Thanks to the varied backdrops and the garish colour palette, they were hooked. Alongside this, they adored the Shark family and the simplicity of the UI. Furthermore, the cinematic amused them whilst breaking up the consistent pattern of the gameplay. 

Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party is loud, upbeat, and annoyingly repetitive. Yet, it was this repetition that impressed my children. As an adult, the tedious loop of child-friendly songs will drive you bonkers. However, kids love the short, sharp, and annoying nature of each toe-tapping number. Consequently, the developers have got the audio spot on, even if it will drive every parent mad.

Excellent controls. 

Designing a balanced control setup is no mean feat. This is especially impressive when you are accommodating a varied audience. Thankfully, though, this title has got things just right. The easy-to-follow UI and responsive inputs are perfect no matter your age. What’s more, the gameplay is forgiving, and that was essential. 

Who’d have thought that a Baby Shark game could take so long to complete? There are masses of levels to explore and plenty of cards to collect. On top of this, you must improve each card by perfecting each stage. Consequently, this takes patience and accuracy if you wish to complete it.

Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party surprised me. 

I expected this to be perfect for my kids. But I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Yes, the music was annoying, but the gameplay is moreish and enjoyable. Additionally, it teases every gamer’s OCD nature, and this demands that you keep playing. Accordingly, it surprised me and I recommend that you buy it here! Can you cross the oceans to get to the festival? Find your rhythm, collect every star and card, and tap your fin to every catchy song. 

SUMMARY

Baby Shark: Sing and Swim Party is the perfect fun-filled title for your youngest munchkins. This cute as-hell game is filled with Baby Shark songs and will drive parents crazy. Furthermore, the addictive gameplay will make you keep playing even though you wish the music would just stop. Its only downside is that it is repetitive.
