Galeophobia is the fear of sharks. for some this is just the sight of a shark like depiction for others a specific angle in which the shark is portrayed. currently i have to spam the space button when ever i start the game because the first image tends to trigger this fear response. the fatshark lo…

It checks out for Sir.Penguin to be afraid of Mr.Shark, I suppose… :stuck_out_tongue: You are not alone in the spacebar mashing mini-marathon!
