Overall nice little game, very minimalist but it works. The physics on the ice cream were really funny! I did end up cheating and firstly just give a little amount of ice cream and towards the end (time ending) I just gave the cookie part of the ice cream... So maybe you could improve that by setting a minimum on the ice cream so the player is forced to actually sell ice cream :P
Good job on your game, with few improvements and maybe polished art, it can shine :)
I remember seeing this game during the jam and I really wanted to try it so I'm glad I finally did it. Feels really good to make ice cream.
Interesting game, had some fun playing it! It's challenging to keep all the cream inside the cone, sometimes I would just put a bit of cream and give the ice cream (play it safe) it was a good strategy :p A little bug I problem I found was, I dragged my cone out of the screen (through the bottom) and could never get it back, so there was nothing I could do besides throwing cream to the floor :D but I think you can fix this in the future. Overall it's a very funny and cute game, with an original approach to the theme. Congratulations!
The ice cream mechanic is very interesting, and an original take on the theme. The game however was very cheatable, if you put the cone inside the icecream machine it'd fill a lot without spilling any icecream :P

Nice game! I quite enjoyed the idea, and it was pretty well executed. The ice cream had some pretty cool physics, although, it could be a bit unpredictable at times, but that added to the fun. Nice job!
I thoroughly enjoy the concept. Sound effects and music would go a long way to improving the game. As would a more robust score system (store high scores, count the number of cones made). But I think the biggest thing to improve is the actual ice cream physics. It would be really cool if the stream behaved more like the real ones, where you can move the cone around to swirl the ice cream as it enters the cone. You could maintain the "lost ice cream" rule by having the stream wiggle with the movement of the cone, so that player can't get too wild with it or else ice cream will fall off. And one last thought, it would be cool if there were a separate score system for artistry. How neat/clean does your cone look?
A lot of potential here.
I really like the simplicity of it! Well planed, can imagine add flavours and more paws coming for ice cream, etc. Screen Shot 2017-12-10 at 17.56.58.png
1. I tried to implement the swirl physics, failed, miserably. @shinyogre 2. I like neat/clean cone idea lol. 3. Yes need sounds effects.
@jaimuepe thank you find that cheating bug.
This was very fun, but the physics were pretty broken. I am assuming that was a feature tho
I had fun with this game! I would really like to see more paws and more flavors and each different requests for different amounts and flavors of ice cream. And some sounds would be nice too. Anyway, good job, there is some fun to be had at least trying the game, that's for sure :)
1187 as salary. The game's not bad, a good potential with the physics of the ice cream, and an interesting balance between the loss and quantity of ice cream.Maybe the gameplay would feels betetr with more dynmic tho ! Ithink the theme was respected.
Interesting game/physics. Good idea, would have preferred just to have mouse-follow, with click being to pour the ice cream, but that is just a preference. Great entry! Hope you get the reviews you need. GIF Paw For Icecream.gif
Interesting game! It was cute, and it was fun to try to balance the ice cream, but it seemed like there wasn't a lot I could do to increase the amount per cone. Good stuff!
This game was really interesting as far as concepts go. The theme was executed well and the ice cream physics blobs blended well to make something that looked pretty nice.
Only there was one cone I was making and the ice cream physics collisions decided they were tired of playing nice and ice cream flew everywhere. It was like a sweet, sticky explosion.
Still, that was pretty fun. Would have loved sound but I understand not being able to get to that in the interest of time.
Keep up the good work!
good idea in the subject of jam) you can feel like an ice cream vendor :smiley:
haha, I liked it :) The look of the game worked well, and it was fun pouring ice cream. I also fell victim to the ice cream cone off the screen,
Graphically quite nice, didn't feel like I could actually influence how much icecream stays in the cone though.
As other have already said, audio would've been nice, but I understand the struggle, I don't have sfx or music either :grin:
It's an interesting idea, but it feels _too_ simple to warrant playing it more than once.
Very unique game you have here. Although it needs more challenge or risk reward system. It's too easy right now. But it's different and has a lot of potential. The animations look good too. Good job!
I enjoyed playing the game, nothing beats particles being squirted out poop-like! The mechanics of the game were challenging enough, I think it would be nice to see some crazy challenges if you ever work on this some more. Great job!
