I got the basic idea, but I feel like I might have missed one or two subtleties. Does sinking ships actually increase your size? Is it possible to grow back to a large size after shrinking to a smaller one? On another note (haha), I thought the music was a great fit and helped set the mood you were going for.

COOL HUH?\r\nHold 'c' for controls. \r\n\r\nPRO TIPS: \r\n-Large icebergs don't exactly turn on a dime HOLD DOWN THOSE ARROWS and boost to build up speed in one direction. \r\n-Each conquest makes you stronger and faster! \r\n-Small ships increase your lifespan, by a few degrees.\r\n-Big ships have the highest tonnage by far, but they tend to hang out father south, where you'll melt faster.\r\n\r\n\r\nFAQ:\r\n-Why can't I move at first?\r\nYou're just slow and incredibly large! Think like an iceberg.\r\n\r\n-Does sinking ships actually increase your size? \r\nNo, in fact it makes you smaller. Like a real iceberg!\r\n\r\n-What are those brown things?\r\nRock. DON'T HIT ROCKS.\r\n\r\n-What if I only make a ship avoid me and run into some rocks instead?\r\nYou still get points! \r\n\r\n-Is it possible to grow back to a large size after shrinking to a smaller one? \r\nOf course not! That would be ridiculous. This is an iceberg SIMULATOR so you only get smaller.\r\nYou just gotta get in there and wreck ships as fast as you can!\r\n\r\n-Is there a secret bonus music track you unlock at ONE MILLION POINTS?\r\nWhat!?!?!? Uh yeah there is. \r\n\r\nTweet your high score to @what_whit . Current winner: hashtag_smith with 550,000. \r\n\r\nTools: Unity3d, bfxr, Ableton Live 9","title":"Super Iceberg Hero"}
