Humanity is abandoning the planet. And they want to take all the ice with them. So they need YOU to be the head of this operation. Your next task is Iceberg #4381. As you may know 90% of icebergs volume is underwater. Our scanning shows approximately 99.48% of pure ice. You have to build mining machines to harvest the ice. Remember to build those solar panels to supply power.Clicking on a miner results in a temporary increase in it's efficiency. You can also upgrade the existing miners and solar panels if you ran out of space. When your storage gets full, you have to send it directly into orbit using our quantum transportation relay. In reward you get more funds and storage to continue the operation. Good luck!

UPD: Added a POST-COMPO version with some minor bug-fixes, gameplay changes and nice parallax effect. Stay tuned for future updates.
UPD2: POST-COMPO version has been updated! It has completely new mechanics as well as a win state and a fail state. I might add some more features, I'm not sure.
It's nice in overall, but there is lack of any challenge, or maybe I'm just missing a goal. It's very satisfying how everything works though :) Good job.
Is there an end? Or does it continue forever? I've collected an massive amount, but... what's next, no winning? It looks really neat and plays like a charm otherwise!
Is it endless ? Because I just spent 30min to upgrade everything and it still continued ! ^^ Anyway nice game, maybe a fix on the upgrade hitboxes for the solar panels could be nice :)
Needs something more, I got up to mining 2billion Ice/sec.
It would be nice if the mining changed the balance of the iceberg so it rolls. Miners keep mining but solar panels would suffer and need to be replaced.
Very good base, but some limits and goals wouldve been great. There is no real point in building many miners/solar panels, as you can just upgrade them infinitely.
Loved the game. Would have been nice with some kind of opposition. The idea is nice, and I can see it go far if it were expanded upon. I liked the graphics, and the game felt quite polished. Good job.

Great graphics, fantastic game! I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series if you'd like to take a look http://youtu.be/ln7f84GPnPg

Excellent work! Love the visuals and the idea. Playing stuff on that iceberg is fun, and the beam is an awesoem touch :D
I didn't care for the procedurally generated music, but I like the game play and agree with others that adding more modules and a goal would make it even better.

Still, had fun with it.
