Just let me know when I can get this on steam :p

But seriously, wow. 5 stars everywhere...

siryakko 2015-04-20 20:41

Wow free and awesome, let's greenlight it!

donan 2015-04-20 20:46

Wow, played it for like 20 minutes. Awesome experience. Good work :D
If you fix bit the controls a bit (are a bit rough), it can possibly be one of the best ones of this compo :D

donan 2015-04-20 20:47

Ops, it was only 8min i thought i played more :O

kyyrma 2015-04-20 20:51

Add some type of collection element to this and it's good to as a mobile game. Great work!

obscenelytrue 2015-04-20 20:51

I always found very scary the magical music of ice cream trucks... this game reinforces my feeling! Very impressive entry.

tobiasnl 2015-04-20 20:52

Loved the style, gameplay and graphics. It lacked a bit variation though. But that style was awesome

nicklink483 2015-04-20 20:54

So much murder and mayhem. And it never ends! It just goes on and on!

YYYAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!

pi_pi3 2015-04-20 20:55

Murdering cute fluffy animals :3

jsmars 2015-04-20 20:58

Very impressive! Great and uniform graphics and addicting gameplay, nice job! A bit hard to steer from that camera angle, but that was half the fun!

dlowe 2015-04-20 21:05

Thanks for the game!

expl0it3r 2015-04-20 21:14

Fun little game! Really like the implementation of audio, graphics, etc.
The only thing I had a bit issues with is the difficulty to hit stuff, but I guess that's just training!

omarshehta 2015-04-20 21:24

It looks very beautiful! The steering felt kind of slow, which made it a little frustrating.

dragonxvi 2015-04-20 21:25

It's like the Happy Tree Friends got stuck in a 90s console bonus stage!

aaronjbaptiste 2015-04-20 21:32

You guys have created something special. I loved it.

split82 2015-04-20 21:48

Nice! Would love to see some highscore table.

peerplay 2015-04-20 22:27

This game is awesome. I was checking the source, but reading through the C# scripts, wow, that's alot of work to be done in a couple of days! I wanna learn how to make this terrain ramp stuff too xD 5/5 stars!

chadivision 2015-04-20 22:39

I love it!

At first I thought I was supposed to avoid hitting people, and I was doing very poorly. Then I remembered the theme and realized I was supposed to hit people...and I did poorly at that too. :)

Great production all around, and lots of fun to play!

speakupgames 2015-04-21 02:05

Super adorable. I absolutely love it

yuigoto 2015-04-21 02:14

This game is just adorable! All smiles while playing! I want that ice cream truck! I want to ride my bike in this road! :)

The game feels a little bit repetitive after some time, and starts to feel like a screen saver a tiny bit, though.

But it doesn't take the fun and smiles for playing this game. It feels like an infinite fun run on Green Hill Zone, by truck, while waiving hello to the Happy Tree Friends. :P

xewlupus 2015-04-21 02:35

Thanks for playin'! Yeah, you're spot on. We kind of ran into the time wall so the difficulty ramp is mad untuned.

rafacp 2015-04-21 03:38

Excelent! Congratulations!

flyingbear 2015-04-21 05:01

Wow, the production quality of this is off the charts! I love the attention to detail you put into this. Little touches like the truck bopping to the beat of the music and that arrow key diagram on the title screen. Also, that ice cream cone has the best expression ever

aevek 2015-04-21 07:03

Fun game, would have liked the option to silence the audio, and some way of exiting the game. Really enjoyed the macabre humor.

alexdjones 2015-04-21 15:31

Controls could do with fine-tuning, but this is a really fun, polished entry nonetheless! Great work! :)

rmc 2015-04-21 15:36

Just amazing!

Someone played too much Carmageddon when was a child! hahahaha!!!

Really nice game!

duon44 2015-04-21 17:16

AMAZING

rhy3756547 2015-04-21 17:38

Hilarious concept - loved playing! Only problem was that while the offset camera looked cool, it made it hard to control for some reason... Hard to explain.

mortus 2015-04-21 17:43

Extremely fun! I had no idea what to do or what's the point, but it's just fun playing around and I guess that's the point. :D

fabraz 2015-04-21 17:50

Pretty great. Humorous, smart use of the 3d/sprite effect. Dig it.

guoboism 2015-04-21 17:50

Really nice done! So complete!

ranmaru90 2015-04-21 17:51

Please put it up in the Play Store. I don't have an iOS device.

team-ex-sword-stential 2015-04-21 17:53

I spent a while trying to dodge everyone lol, until I figured out I was supposed to run them over XD which makes sense with the theme. Awesome game :D Really like the looks and the cool 3d sorcery you got going on.

pixel-heart 2015-04-21 18:03

The rainbow-like explosion when the truck hits an object is awesome! Makes me wanna hit all the trees! xD

babajaga 2015-04-21 18:06

Damnit, what has driving an ice-cream truck to do with unconventional weapon?....

oh....

you are supposed to kill those children. Took me a while to get that :D

Awesome artstyle, I love especially the truck (mixing vector textures and 3d).5ive stars

awpteamoose 2015-04-21 18:07

This would fit pretty well on a smartphone or the like, I imagine.

drauthius 2015-04-21 18:17

Amazing work! The angle provides a really cool take on driving, and adds extra difficulty! Yaaaay!

hotboxgames 2015-04-21 18:53

Haha great fun, music was catchy and graphics were niiiice. Good job

msaul 2015-04-21 19:08

Good job ! Perfect game, miss an ending :(.

xanderzoo 2015-04-21 19:29

Not particularly good at, but very fun.

2015-04-21 20:20

Love the truck! I could definitely see this successful mobile game, great job.

corgicommander 2015-04-21 20:42

You could probably ship this as a game right now. I'm digging the art style, and came over to check out this game after seeing your blog post. Death-by-ice-cream-truck would suck on a tombstone. 5 Star Game.

xewlupus 2015-04-21 20:43

@CorgiCommander aww, thanks man. I liked Newt Scoot, too ;)

pinkmonkeyhead 2015-04-22 02:32

I've been in this competition since LD23 and this game has the most outstanding graphics I've ever seen here. Or even in the big game releases in the market lately.
I just cant see why nintendo doesnt make a mario game in this cartoon 3d style.
The model of the truck plus textures is mind blowing. Im giving 5 stars to graphics just because i cant give 6

pinkmonkeyhead 2015-04-22 02:34

PS: the game is impossible to close on OSX. I had to call task manager and force quit

xewlupus 2015-04-22 03:05

@pinkmonkeyhead Cmd-Q works for me; weird :|

xewlupus 2015-04-22 03:20

@pinkmonkeyhead aww, shucks. We tried super hard to make it really boipy. I'm glad you enjoyed the look so much.

blob 2015-04-22 03:29

Cute! Reminds me of my everyday life!

graebor 2015-04-22 03:59

Had a lot of fun with this, especially once I realized I was actually /supposed/ to be hitting people. The look of it is really cool, too, especially the truck. Very neat style.

cgmorton 2015-04-22 14:13

Fantastic!

The camera loses sight of me when I'm near the left side of the track, but other than that it's mechanically perfect. Great job!

marinalucio 2015-04-22 19:47

You just taught me that i'm really good at not hitting things when that's my goal. This is such a fun little game. The graphics are amazing and the controls are really responsive. Great take on the theme!

softcoconuts 2015-04-23 04:30

Great work! I saw your post on the main page and was excited to try it out! It's not really clear what happens when you run over people though, it took me a while to get enough and see that it gives you more lives... Excellent game!

ouro17 2015-04-23 14:29

Great game, very very funny congrats!

midnightcreators 2015-04-23 14:29

A game almost ready to sale! Awesome! :O

dopplerinteract 2015-04-23 14:32

Wow, man! Such a concise, polished experience. Visuals were really nice, audio was perfect. Every event felt really 'juicy'. Great work.

lovelace-lair 2015-04-23 14:33

Amazing game, 5 stars - super fun to play :)

plasterphantom 2015-04-23 15:38

Fun game! Controls might be a tiny bit too stiff, music was catchy, art was great. Well done!

jalgames 2015-04-23 15:52

Such polish! Much fun! Very wow!

sputnik 2015-04-23 16:14

Is there any ending to this madness?! Seriously, very funny and perfect graphics! Good job!

arcturusdeluxe 2015-04-23 16:57

Very polished. Loving the cutesy art style. At first I didn't know I was meant to be running the guys over, some sort of brief explanation would have probably been good. Cool stuff though!

xanjos 2015-04-23 17:01

I should feel bad for running all these children over but this was ridiculously addictive plus the art style is absolutely amazing.

frederickk 2015-04-23 19:24

So hard! And so well made!
Awesome job!

jmaggard62 2015-04-24 05:12

Really good entry! Had a ton of fun.. And those sound effect :D

runvs 2015-04-24 17:15

Very nice game. I like how intuitive the controls feel. the "lane" system works also fine.

fabriciopfs 2015-04-25 00:35

Amazing! Loved everything.

nidolabz 2015-04-25 06:37

Such a fun game to play, I would love to see an icecream truck upgrade system in future!

crowbeak 2015-04-25 07:37

I love the perspective and the animations, but if there was an end, I didn't find it. Great start and I would totally like to see it fleshed out.

blobo 2015-04-26 12:45

My god, this was the greatest game i've played all ludum dare!

kabutakogames 2015-04-26 14:48

Nails the look - I love the animations

jk5000 2015-04-26 17:07

Fun, Fun and Fun.

goblin 2015-04-27 15:03

Wow amazing game, loved everything 5 stars

gillenew 2015-04-27 17:29

Beautiful weapon I felt better than when I played carmagedom. but missed a goal in the game, or a gamification factor, say scoring scheme, skills for improvement, higher goal :)

simianlogic 2015-04-27 21:20

Fun take on an endless runner type. The most fascinating thing in the game is the ice cream truck. The animation and texture work makes for an awesome style. I think that the color pallet is a little drab tho. It feels like a polluted environment and I think that brightening it up a bit would make for a more appealing environment. Throw in some environmental progression, more obstacles (and some sick jumps), and coins to collect and you have a solid foundation going forward. Maybe you can have a powerup that allows you to play music to attract all of the kids toward your truck! Also, that death rainbow sploosh is the greatest thing ever. Amazing job.

sergi-montaner 2015-04-28 22:32

I like the camera placement and the graphics, specially the map when lanes diverge.
The truck was nice too but lacked a little cohesion with the map.
Kids screeming in joy when I die <-- cool
The same when I respawn <-- strange
Control was a little unresponsive for my taste, but that added up to the feeling of crazy driving which I think it makes sense.
Good work.

jasonsumm 2015-04-29 23:16

Yeah this is amazing! totally nailed it! :D :D

hbocao 2015-04-29 23:56

Beautiful and funny game. The gameplay could have a little more variation. Keep working on it!

tyruspeace 2015-04-30 02:05

Fun theme, and fun sound!

taro 2015-05-01 02:50

Well put together overall, looks great, quite fun, simple and addictive. Some feedback! I would say put a kill count along with your meter counter and maybe some power-ups! but great job!

mrshoestore 2015-05-01 13:59

well clearly the most amazing part about this is the art and animation.

12pechasofsouls 2015-05-03 18:05

Amazing game!

zerocreativity1 2015-05-05 04:02

Psychotic, but it has great art and solid game-play. Could use some content(power ups, maybe levels, etc). Next time use your game development powers for good.

triplevisiongames 2015-05-05 19:57

I love that the van dances :) Lovely - very fun

demy 2015-05-06 20:54

Oh, wow, it's just plain awesome. Map generations, graphics, gameflow... Cool game.

druid 2015-05-06 20:59

Killing animals is always so much fun :3

oadt 2015-05-07 09:10

Really cool Game, makes a lot of fun! Good job

Little criticism: Please deselect Audio if you didn't made them in the 72 hours. Please don't feel offended, I just think its fairer for other jammers :)

madball 2015-05-07 15:48

That was quite fun! And graphics are great, too! However, this game is missing a goal. And what is that bar at the top of the screen? It took me a lot of tries to fill, and it did nothing except for "x1"! Or did it?

vikinggames 2015-05-11 23:01

Adorable, morbid, and hilarious. I love the bouncing ice cream and blood particles especially. I like how quickly it puts you back in the action when you die, it really gets you to keep playing!
