Enemies don't go kaboom, so it's hard to feel like you're hitting them or not. Also has some odd glitch. The web game is taller than my browser window and if I scroll down to get a better view of my ice, my clicks register as being where they would've been if I weren't scrolled down.
Also, should run on RF. ;)
Fun idea, more feedback when hurting the enemies would be nice. Good take on the theme!

Really cool idea! Gameplay was pretty solid. Great job!

Neat :D I think you're just missing some feedback on when you hit the boats, otherwise this is a really cool concept :D

Fun game! However need some effects when hitting enemies and maybe make it a little harder? The ending was the best!
I used so much ice! Why did you let me use all my ice!
Liking the overall look. The gameplay was novel and enjoyable to play, thanks!

Very nice game! I think this is one of the most innovative weapons made during this game... I have a similar complaint as Kihira: it seems to be impossible to destroy gun and rocket ships, they seem to need a lot of hits, but it seems to be very difficult to actually hit them. An indicator that you hit them and how much health the ships still have would be very nice!

@Pomb and Dorgam:
Particles for breaking ice and explosions were going to be in but we ran out of time... I added the smoke for the missiles 5 minutes before submission!

Solid and chill ;)
This was really cool! I loved the mechanic ^_^!!!
Really cool little game, really tough and gets super hectic towards the end.

This was a really fun game and i enjoyed playing it! love the concept and the music was great and fitting!

Like it! Great concept, and plays well.
Same kind of idea as ours actually - you have to give up something (frozen!) of yourself in defence - http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=50499
Awesome game you got there buddy. I had fun!
2720 with 37% ice remaining, not bad :D

I am a horrible theif since I keep throwing my cargo at the people trying to get them back hahaha. I like the music and visuals. It got a bit hard when the ice was a bit out of reach and I wasn't sure how to play but figuring it out was good, so I liked that aspect. Nice play on theme.

Great entry. A most unconventional weapon. Also bonus point for technology used :-). Only thing is, it is mostly impossible to hit ships on the borders of the screen.

Look realy great. The mouse always clicked a lot higher than what's the cursor point to.
The game mechanic was realy interesting.

Original idea! With some gameplay tweaking (controls are terrible, because pointer position doesn't match with the actual clicking coordinates) it could become much better.
Nice game! The control were a bit weird at first, but then I got used to it. I think it could have some explosion, but I say that just because I love explosions ...
Anyway, good job!

Nice idea, but most of all great pacing! Progressively introducing new enemies and threats works well, and in the end it gives a satisfying feel of “woah, I just escaped THAT?!”. As stated by many others, it lacks some visual feedback for enemy status, but overall it’s well executed.
Insane idea! Ice seems to end too fast tho!
Nice work! Hilarious idea - I love the decision of "how much of myself am I going to throw at the enemies". For some small improvements, I wish there were more of a tangible impact for hitting a boat, it felt like my projectiles were gliding over all the boats it hit.
A lot of fun! Very very good game! Music added some humor in situation!
Oh! Ship are melting my ice! I must destroy them! oh no.. there are no more ice... And I start game again! My best score is 17096.

Wow, really cool game. Nice music and insane idea. Great job.
An injgame explanation would be nice. I thought the point was too gid rid of the iceberg. Also, the game was a little long, at least for me personally.
