Beneath that broken surface, a swarm of fishes. Lights of stars, the waves' play of colors and shadows of sea dwellers try to irritate you. Their lights fractures on the surface and confuse you about what's beneath.
Normally I try to make things as pretty as possible, but this time I tried to break things and focused on making the aesthetics disordered and disturbing - within the meaning of Glitch Art. While I was afraid that others couldn't relate to this art style like I do, I had a lot of fun while making it! Where do you have a chance to make progress by breaking something? I gone mad. And I'm tired, now. Have fun!

The gameplay felt... Well, it felt like - "What am I doing?". :P But the whole time I was somewhat mesmerized by the almost drunk glitchouts the game has. Very nice art-game! :D
Overall, interesting and fun.
The lack of story or anything, besides racking up points and killing those fish is refreshing, actually. It does well to support the theme of "Beneath the Surface" but in an amusing sort of way, as its satisfied, not only with fish, but glitches, suggesting all is not as it seems.
Overall, an excellent entry. Congratulations!
But this was really well made, visually very pleasing, you really nailed that Vlambeer game "feel", all around a really great entry. Nice one.
Just kidding, this was pretty great. I'm digging the graphics, and I actually also like the mechanics concept, although I'm not sure the upgrade system suits the game type. And the upgrade interface could definitely be quicker to use.
