quite simplistic, but that is to its strength.

Very funny game, the music and graphics are really nice. The gameplay is puzzle-ish and suprisingly fun.

The thing that needs more work the most is the UI. It's a bit clunky and some sort of map would be very useful, as it's exremely easy to get lost, especially in the later stages.

it is like if sokobon was an action game

only complaint is that the iceberg physics have quite a bit of wonk to them. sometimes momentum happens, sometimes not, and sometimes the momentum seems to be reversed.

This game turned out well. Last I saw it was a little after the end of the compo, and it vastly improved between then and the Jam. I like it.

I liked it overall. What is somewhat frustrating is getting a black screen for a couple of seconds between each level or level restart.

Fun game! I liked the sound effects and the animation of the oil tankers breaking in half

Great innovation The mighty Is-O's revenge! I agree with Crypto in that a minimap would be excellent.

I liked it, the mechanic was cool idea. I agree with others mini-map would be helpful. Also some sort of danger - people on tankers shoot/harpooning you.

Small but very related to the theme! The handling on the icebergs lead to an interesting and tricky mechanic.

Sound / music unfortunately didn't play for me under Firefox 40.0.3.

Funny game.

Suggestions:
- The Is-O' shadow can be improved.
- The colision system can be improved.

Please, don't destroy tankers on the ocean. Hahahahahahah.

Hehe, nice idea, good choice of music, a bit repetitive.
But what about the oil spills ? :|
:p

Simple game, good idea, but it was a bit easy ! I think you should keep the same resolution with the background and outline some sprites for a slightly better visual.
I agree that breaking the oil tankers may not be the best plan for revenge :)
