I wonder how fast it gets around 500,000? oyamafamily how fast is it?

It's very, very, very fast. It's almost impossible to complete the level. I started losing my control after passing 400,000-point mark.
On slower levels, I always caught fishes as many as possible, and I sacrificed myself before entering the igloo, to maximize the timer and thereby score more bonus points via entering the igloo as quickly as possible. Sometimes, I let the temperature drop to ZERO degrees before entering the igloo.

Since I'm not able to improve my score on Frostbite, I solved to write a short story although I'm not very good at writing stories.

FROSTBITE BAILEY GETS THE GREATEST PRIZE

Once upon a time, Mrs. Sandra Bailey, the Artcic Architecture company manager, called Frostbite Bailey to participate in a challenge. The objective is to build 50 igloos in two months. If Frostbite achieve this goal sucessully, he will get a prize of 50,000 dollars (1,000 for each igloo built). Also, if Frostbite exceed this objective, he will win 50,000 dollars, plus 2500 for each additional igloo. He must be careful with the hazardous enemies: geeses, crabs, clams, and grizzlies; also, he must eat fishes to be well-fed every day.

'Are you ready to this challenge?', asked the manager.

'Yes, I am. I accept it, and I love building igloos', replied Frostbite.

On the first of two months, Frostbite showed his greatest abilities to build igloos, and have already built 36. He jumped on the ice blocks without touching the enemies. This ability let Mrs. Sandra very, very impressed.

'That's incredible, Frostbite! You can exceed the objective on the next month!', said the manager.

On the second month, Frostbite built more 13 igloos on the first 10 days. But, unfortunately, he made a mistake: he touched one of the geeses and was pushed to Arctic Sea.

However, a good surprise appeared: Frostbite left the Arctic Sea quickly, and continued to build more igloos on the rest of month. He was still strong, but a little tired.

At the end of two months, the IMPRESSIVE RESULT ocurred: Frostbite Bailey built 70 igloos in two months. Since he exceeded the objective (50 igloos in two months), he got the greatest prize: 50,000 dollars via building 50 igloos, plus 50,000, because he built 20 additional igloos, and each unit is worth 2500. The total prize is 100,000 DOLLARS!!

'CONGRATULATIONS, FROSTBITE! You won the greatest prize for your excellent merit!', said the manager.

So, Frostbite went to Miami to enjoy many beaches and hotels using his prize.

THE END

Wow, the speed is incredible. The amount of messing with one's brain this must do is unimaginable. Just pure speed.

[Anthony John Morley]

Not my highest to date but the highest since I've seen this thread. I've had 318000 before which is my target to beat, personally.

Holy Sh*te! At that speed it looks lie it doesn't matter where you land as long as it's in the vicinity of the ice. If it's just down to skill, that is awesome. My eyes will never be that accurate!
