Under Water Challenge - closed

On March 29th we started the second MSX Resource Center development contest: the Under Water Challenge. Now, only six weeks later, this challenge has come to an end. As was the case with the Snowfall Challenge, the MSX community showed what they are capable of once again, with a grand total of 11 entries. It was very cool to have a look at all of them. If you had a look at one or more of them as well, don't hesitate to let us (and thus the developers) know what you think of it!  

For your convenience, here is the complete list of all submitted entries:
