The shark is perhaps a little too aggressive. ;)

The control is great, simple and easy to play. Maybe have some safe area around the shop would be great ;)

I seem to have committed the heinous crime of not buying the suit first....there doesn't seem to be enough gold left in the shallower portion of the level to buy the suit..other than that it seems like a neat swimming exploration game.

Man do I hate that shark!! Great fun little game, love the upgrade mechanic, it was really fun diving deeper and deeper for treasure. Oh did I mention that I hated that shark?!? :)

John Williams's iconic score for Jaws stands the test of time--its simple e-to-f alternating motif strikes fear into the heart of swimmers still four decades post-release, and is likely to remain in shared cultural consciousness for decades more.

But John Williams's score cannot even hold a candle to the sheer terror inspired by watching that shark sprite stop its rotating. Its black, beady eyes stare unmoving, and you can tell its tiny shark brain is practically vibrating as it senses the gold you carry. Its sprite contracts for just a moment, a seeming violation of the very sacred laws of physics itself as its body compresses into attack position--and then comes the last sound you will ever hear: bwump-bwump.

You are consumed... and the gold you coveted is the only trace that remains, carried off by the bloodied tides until the dark currents of night bury the coins and your bones both far from the prying eyes of man.
