What's better than shooting bullets?
Shooting bullets that shoot more bullets!

Expando-ship is a fairly basic shmup where you pilot a ship that will grow every few seconds. The larger it grows, the more weapons and armor you have. If you get hit, a segment pops off. If you run out of segments... Well you don't want to do that.
The sides of the ship are bulletproof, so you can use them to clear out otherwise impassable walls of bullets. They will also reduce collision damage, but not entirely prevent it.
===Controls===
Z/W/Y/Space to shoot. (Spacebar may prevent diagonal movement in some keyboard/browser combinations)
Arrow keys to arrow.
C forces your ship to collapse (Turns off extra guns but you keep the armor still). This is useful to quickly shrink if you think you're going to take a hit.
M mutes the awful music loop.
== Known browser issues ===
IE11: No audio (Won't fix)
IE<10: Broken. (Can't fix)
Firefox Mac: Some reports of poor audio quality. (Can't test)
tl;dr use Chrome or Safari for best results, else your warranty is void
