Very suspenseful! Never know if you can reach the next treasure. Well done.

Do I get English credits for this?
That was AWESOME!! The shells are perfectly spaced and finding the books was somehow freakishly satisfying. That was really fun
Very simple and cute. As I descended I realized it was getting darker and that I was progressing which made me want to keep going until the end. Easy to complete and makes you feel accomplished. Great work.
Neat game! Very simple, I like the shell animation, and it was fun. Great idea, guys!
I got an A!
Perfectly simple. Great game!
I liked this a lot! Finding the different thematic treasures was a treat, and as others have said, the spacing of the shells was just far apart enough that you weren't sure if you were going to make it.
I think I would have been happier if the field of view had been a little wider, but the narrowness does lend a certain feeling to the whole game.
It was fun. And that guy in a dive suit reading a book is quite entertaining. Heh!
When I got to the bottom, I was wondering if I then needed to wait and die, but I think it was just waiting, or touching the right side... or... I don't know.
I'm still amazed with this man's devotion for a good lecture. My life in exchange for finding a good reading.
Damn straight, I always get an 'A'. Simple, hypnotic, and just a little tense. Not bad.
Great gameplay for a little but fun game ;)
I agree with 4KbShort, making the background fade to black on the player's journey was a important to let them know about their progress ~yay!
That aside, i really enjoyed, the idea is quite interesting and the game ended up being really fun :D
I love the dual interpretation of the theme here. Gameplay is good but nothing entirely special. Graphics are good too. Level design is *superb*. A solid entry!
Great placement of the obstacles, made it a challenge to decide which route to take. Nice!
Cute game. Mechanics are pretty basic, but it works for what it is. The literary theme was interesting.
It's amazing how you managed to make me get most of the shells with a pixel or two of air left. It kept me on the edge of my seat!
Simple and fun. The obstacle generation/level design was nice. I didn't quite understand what the literary stuff was about.. I was thinking maybe I'd get some more details about what I collected when the game ended, but that didn't happen
Great job man!!!Simple and fun! Awesome work!!!
Great game, but shouldn't those books be soaked? I mean, how long have they been at the bottom of the sea? They should be waterlogged by this point!
Nice! I like the dual interpretation of Beneath the Surface. I think some audio might've improved it, and it did also start to lag towards the end, but not to the extent that it stopped me from completing the game - which is good, because I enjoyed the fact that the background got darker the farther down you went.
