Fun, interesting and creative... but I'm not sure how it fits in with the theme...

@madalaski The bulk of an iceberg is below the surface :)

@tastyoishi The music isn't bad, but the gameplay is pretty confusing with little explanation on how to play. I think it could use a better tutorial or simply more explanation. I didn't understand why my iceberg grew when it did, or why I floated over some ships, etc.

Good work on getting a game done, though! I didn't even participate this time around :P just trying to leave the best feedback I can for the ones who did. Good luck.

Quite relaxing - reminds me a bit of Solar 2 (http://murudai.com/solar/) with the gradual progression up to larger targets.

As Natman says, a bit more of a tutorial might be useful, or maybe just more obvious progress trackers (as it can take a while to get "level up" your iceberg).

Nice music!

Couldn't kill the aircraft carriers... maybe I need to be bigger first ? Like the look at also the music.

Nice music. It's quirky.Simple and interesting. And the under the surface part i understand.

Love the music, but was a little confused as to what I needed to do / if I was doing something well.

Nice music but cant i lose or win? oO

That's one pretty pissed off iceberg :D I like it. Had some problems with destroying bigger ships, but won after all.

The iceberg is a bit slow but nice job. Cool idea.

Very creative. Has Potential.

This was a neat take on the theme. I couldnt figure out how to consistently grow though. I got the point where I could blow up an aircraft carrier, and then I couldnt and I wasn't sure why. Nice try!

Prett good game. I got really excited when I got the polar bears!

Nice idea. The iceberg moved like it was still glacial ice on my PC, but it was fun when I finally hit something small.

jimmyboh 2014-05-01 03:30

I really like the original idea, just a few tweaks to the physics/challenges and it could be really addicting!

switchbreak 2014-05-03 14:17

I won! This was pretty fun. The pacing was perhaps a bit too slow, and it was difficult to hit ships multiple times. I loved that polar bears show up on the iceberg after it grows.

really cool! I actually made a game really similar to this (search 'iceberg' to find our special club...)

Shame, I'm only getting a white screen after pressing the start button. Tested on newest versions of Chrome and Pale Moon X64. Wouldn't even show the start button on IE :P.

This seems like a cool idea (and a funny take on the theme) but I'm afraid I couldn't get it to work on my Mac. Both Chrome and Safari just show an empty blue screen with some music playing.

jiddo 2014-05-18 14:49

I'm afraid I couldn't get the game to run here either. First I got stuck on a blue screen, with music playing. The next time I tried I got to the "Start" button. After clicking that I was stuck on a white screen. Chrome, Win7 x64.

zedutchgandalf 2014-05-18 18:28

This is a neat idea :)
I love it!

All I got was a blue screen

lukbebalduke 2014-05-18 22:41

All I got was a blue screen 2.
