pixelultimate 2018-04-24 01:51

DEM VISUAL THOOOO

team-orange-pop 2018-04-24 01:55

Absolutely love the aesthetic and the concept is creative and fun to play, only criticism would be the controls take some getting used to.

louis-hong 2018-04-24 02:01

A S T H E T I C S, great visuals. Game is so hard. I can't shoot fast enough to have fun. :P Really amazing for game jam.

frozenfire92 2018-04-24 02:02

Absolutely love the graphics and audio. Neat little game that has a ton of vibe

siduslevis 2018-04-24 02:04

Great work! Great Art! Great Game even though it was a bit challenging. The audio and atmosphere fits so well.

narudgi 2018-04-24 02:17

woooooooo cool af, love the strange concept, a bit frustrated with controls but it helps to get an interesting multitask feel :D

lost-dutchman-software 2018-04-24 23:59

yoooo these visuals are SICK!

croewens 2018-04-25 00:02

The artwork is wow. Great job but sometimes the controls frustrated me a little bit.

I’d love for you to review my submission as well.

Los gráficos son geniales, la música y la estética acompañan muy bien y además de que funciona muy bien, es muy divertido. Habéis hecho un gran trabajo!

comenoha 2018-04-25 00:06

This game art HAS to be inspired by Hotline Miami. I love it!

coldjets 2018-04-25 00:07

Top quality, great visuals, great concept, but god that game is WAY TOO HARD xD, guess i'll never be selling ice creams ^^

fernando-labarta 2018-04-25 00:07

@comenoha ;)

crazyhomeboys 2018-04-25 00:17

We are very grateful for the comments we are receiving! If we could, we would invite you to ice cream 🍧! (without driving, which is very dangerous 🤣🤣)

seanbeans 2018-04-25 00:18

Nice Graphics, nice mood and nice music, but the gameplay is clunky, specially on making the ice creams. A more open error range would make the gameplay more fair and better to play.

ragtagradical 2018-04-25 00:36

Rad vibes. I had a lot of trouble dealing with 3 columns at once. Felt a bit like making ice cream could do without the cone sliding side to side, like make it a quick LMB/RMB thing instead of timing. Make the ice-cream, chuck it.

fernando-labarta 2018-04-25 00:41

@ragtagradical thats completly accurate, we didn´t had time to balance the game correctly, thanks for you feedback

djfariel 2018-04-25 02:57

I agree with ragtagradical. But it was pretty fun to play! Good job.

supimjoel 2018-04-25 04:07

Very well done visuals and graphics, felt like the gameplay was a bit brutal, like the padding on getting the ice cream in the cone. Other than that, played really well!

pandacultist 2018-04-25 05:19

The hotline miami inspired art style was amazing, the difficulty is insane but you are one bad @$$ icecream truck once you get the hang of it, awesome game.

dj-depressive 2018-04-25 07:40

Great game. I really like the art-style and the controls were pretty nice. However, it was really hard to get the right ice-creams, hit the targets and avoid oncoming traffic all at once. But I really like the game, 10/10.

ccglp 2018-04-25 08:44

Hi there guys.

I agree with some of the other comments. With three columns to be aware of, seems like a little too much that the cone slides side to side, makes you more focused on the right of the screen that anywhere else.

Game is cool though, the art is amazing. Good work :)

3dleon 2018-04-25 10:52

Hey! I've played your game and it was awesome, the idea is amazing and the graphics and music... omg. I really liked, Good job

PD: Me ha alegrado saber que también pueden salir juegos buenos de la comunidad hispana.

facepalmpt 2018-04-25 10:53

Art Style is fantastic, love the scanlines effect. The icecream truck looks really cool!

Gameplay is challeging yet addicting! Music and sfx is also top notch.

Great game!

kubenexion 2018-04-25 10:56

Really good works, maybe a bit too difficult (especially to build ice cream) but it's a nice game! Nice art and sound!

pimpampoum 2018-04-25 11:03

Very nice idea, thanks for this awesome tutorial, maybe one of the best(graphic and art gameplay...) but it's too difficult and become frustrating Very good job

ben-grimm 2018-04-25 11:05

Right away: the synth music is great!

Its really difficut at the beginning but as i understood the mechanic it got really amazing.

Really goot work here. Also love the graphics a lot.

smaganik 2018-04-25 12:42

Wow, great entry! It was difficult to understand the rules, but after a minute I get used to it. Beautiful.

artur-hawkwing 2018-04-25 16:35

Very nicw game! I had some difficulty with the controls (but that is just me). I loved the music, and being able to change it was super cool!

gfagk 2018-04-25 17:19

Dude, those graphics are so polished, I love synthwave universe, those graphics, that music, that humor fucking great. Just great. Gameplay at first is a bit tricky but after 2 mintes all makes sense. A bit hard but that's what makes the game so entertaining. Simply amazing!! A team of 5 btw, just like us! Fantastic

toge 2018-04-25 17:38

Great looking game with hotline miamish kind of style, like the 3d-ish feel with the pixel art vehicle. Was very hard to keep track with everything happening at the screen, but the mood & feel was top notch! Well done!

hpmnk 2018-04-25 18:44

Amazing graphics and animation. I love the style, and the music is really good too. The gameplay feel a bit too hard for me. The aim is too precise for a game which need to "build" the throwable objects. But for a game jam, it's really top-ass polish

Great job guys : D

Here's our game : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/blocksnblaster-1

honest-dan 2018-04-25 18:50

Really great vibe and mood to this, I'm sure other have said but that retro hotline miami vibe was strong in this one¬! Really impressive visuals, seemed too difficult to begin, but on my... maybe 6th attempts it started to click. The hard bit initially was throwing the ice cream to the cars, but you grow to learn the patterns of their movement eventually. I found I was avoiding cars quite easily, the genres are not as clear cut as some entries but I can definitely see where the inspiration was drawn from <3 gg

merrol 2018-04-25 20:44

Probably one of the greates games I've played so far. It was quite challenging, though. Maybe the movement of the cars shouldn't be so random. But i LOVED the artstyle. For real. Very good job

langotriel 2018-04-26 00:11

Among the best games part of ludum 41 in terms of visuals and audio. I think some tweaking to the gameplay in terms of balance and scope, along with some additional humour and this could easily be a commercial product. Extremely well executed.

kromeboy 2018-04-26 00:53

Artwork and music are great! and the idea too, but is way to hard for me :-)

lucas-carvalhaes 2018-04-26 01:24

Amazing art and music for sure! One of the best games that I have played in this LD. Still, the game is waaaaay too hard. The left click is too intolerant and too precise. Other than that, 10/10.

kleinzach 2018-04-26 01:30

That style was so ridiculous and so good. Loved the art and the music. I ended up being not very good at the game, I think due to the cars swerving forward and back so often, which didn't feel great. Maybe the game can escalate into the cars swerving like that, but just starting out it was a lot to deal with all at the same time. Also, very much appreciate the full tutorial!

theslate 2018-04-26 02:32

Great style. Took me a while to figure out how change ice cream flavors. Not sure if I just missed that in the tutorial. Very difficult for me to juggle 4 things at once. All in all, great job!

theslate 2018-04-26 02:34

Also, block chain? 🤔 I get it, but still.

achebit 2018-04-26 03:56

Really cool aesthetic. Great art and the music fit so well.

I really hated the erratic driving of the customers, the little stop, start they do at each cycle pushes the difficulty over the edge for me, already so much to think about!

goplite 2018-04-26 05:59

The art style is amazing in this game, it reminds me of the hotline miami, but of course it has its own touch. The gameplay is quite hard for me, but I found it very interesting. Also I like all the details in it like dialogs, tutorial, music. Good job overall!

erebus 2018-04-26 08:29

This game has such a great look to it! I gave you most of my feedback on stream. Thanks for coming by! Great job on the game!

blinkenlights 2018-04-26 09:07

Pity it's not for Linux, looks really polished!

darby-costello 2018-04-26 11:32

Funkiest game on LD41! Nothing makes a game more sexy than dirty dirty synthwave. The graphics are adorable and the gameplay is solid. Also, the 'blockchain' aspect is a funny twist, very in-the-now. Great game, you should be proud of this.

crazyhomeboys 2018-04-26 13:13

@erebus I was there with you! an incredible streaming and we appreciate your feedback!

crazyhomeboys 2018-04-26 13:14

@Blinkenlights :( the next time with time we'll try to export it for more platforms!

crazyhomeboys 2018-04-26 13:16

@Darby Costello Thank you very much Darby! Honestly coming from you and the game you have done, which by the way is incredible and the art I freakin love it, makes us much happier! Hard work always brings good results! :D

gerickos 2018-04-26 14:48

Nice ambiance :D

jlv 2018-04-26 16:18

Now that's an art direction I can get behind ! Great hotline miami vibes, funny writing, top-notch music, and the graphics man... Even the UI look is so polished, the whole is really cohesive in a way you don't often see in a game jam.

Gameplay-side, it really is a great mashup, and an addictive one ! It has all the juice I expect from a retro action game, and the difficulty seems balanced enough (I went through some trouble, but I'm really bad at this kind of stuff). Great work !

PS : I clicked on "play" before seeing there was a tutorial... And here I thought it was kind from the game to ask if I was truly ready... I chuckled after pressing "no" !

la-mecanique-du-plastique 2018-04-26 17:40

Great game, you totally deserve the number of comments and grades ! Those graphics are terrific. Maybe the difficulty is a little too high but the polish of the game make you forget about it and want to try again. Good job !

dovakla 2018-04-26 21:38

Everything about this game looks so cool! It's also a pretty simple and fun arcade experience. At times, though, I felt like it could be too punishing, especially with how long you have to wait after missing the timing on the ice cream dispenser. It also got sort of annoying how irregularly the cars moved and how hard they were to hit.

Overall, though, this is really polished and looks great, especially for a jam! Great job!

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-04-27 02:21

Good job! Cool game! Very hard!!!

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

saoi-games 2018-04-27 06:18

I’m not sure if the whole team was able to see it, but I played your game on my stream at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames tonight.

Thank you so much for sharing your game. It is very polished and was quite fun. The pace was very frantic and beyond the large amounts of 3 ice creams that came in the beginning it was nice. There is so much going on that I had to play a few times just to understand everything. I thought I had to make the ice cream in order, and I often missed getting the ice cream on the cone because I didn't line it up properly. I felt like my choices were make ice cream or drive, and couldn't really do both, but hey that is why this mashup is incompatible.

I've only seen high quality games like this from professionals, so I can only imagine what you will be publishing in the next few years.

Please reply with your studio name once it is formed :smile_cat:

This is multitasking hell and I love it

DirtyPink_2018-04-27_08-16-08.png

It's always great to play something with a vaporwave theme, but to see something like it made so perfectly and during a jam? This is some pro work. Great tunes and incredible sprites.

The game itself is very good. Glitch free, very polished, and all works as it's intended to do. Mind that I'm really bad at multitasking, so I could never get good high scores. Having to select and time to get the good ice creams while dodging incoming traffic and having to aim the things at incoming cars is extremely intense. Overwhelming, but the good kind of intense.

All in all, this is one of the most polished entries of the jam so far. The team did an incredible work. Good job! [My team](twitter.com/whalesandgames) would like to see more from you in the future. Cheers! :whale:

fanatrick 2018-04-27 15:19

This was b*itchin'. I love the vice city groove, it's sort of reminiscent of Hotline Miami. It's quite a refreshing concept so it took some time getting used to like people previously mentioned. Aesthetically it's superb, rarely do I find titles with this much pimp to it, especially in these short game jams. Congrats :D

2018-04-27 22:58

Challenging, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXJupUD8gt4

remi-gourrierec 2018-04-28 10:17

Great graphics and overall polish ! Weirdly, you've made the combined themes making sense together in a fun way. The only thing I'm not entirely sold on is difficulty. I like hard games but with a good difficulty curve. Perhaps with other controls. Gamepad perhaps. Very good work !

tweedle 2018-04-28 16:17

we rocked the same style for our jam GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! :sunglasses:

patrickgh3 2018-04-29 00:54

Fun! I got 2100 something. Well done atmosphere and graphics with the neon vibe, and tons of visual polish (I love the effect when you get hurt),it really shows that you had 5 people working on this game. I wish the ice cream scooper was more lenient, and that there was a visual cue for when left-clicking was disabled. And the customer cars moved erratically. Other than that it was quite fun to play! Great job team!

minibobbo 2018-04-29 04:50

The visuals and the game design was excellent. I liked how your eyes went back and forth from the left to the right while trying to avoid the cards in the center.

I agree with some others that even hitting the cars with the ice cream was difficult because they move so sporadically. If they moved a little smoother I think it would add a lot to the game.

I also thought it would be nice if the ice cream cone was always under the dispenser on the beat or something. So if you knew what you were doing and could keep track of what you were dispensing you could load orders without looking to the right. Maybe that would take away from the experience you were trying to create, but I found myself wanting that while I was playing.

Nicely done! Great music also, even if it was simple.

EDIT - wait, I just read the instructions and saw you can change music! Nice!

caterein 2018-04-29 18:16

The visuals and feel of this game are excellent, well done! This game was a bit too beyond my skillset but I still really enjoyed it. Great job!

durgan 2018-04-30 22:48

A very well rounded game, lovely visuals and easy controls. The added challenge of avoiding traffic was perfectly executed. Great job to your team!

bunnybreaker 2018-05-04 04:54

Absolutely love the graphics and the mood of the game, but I found the game play to be a bit clunky. I think trying to shoot to your side with projectile travel time and targets that move randomly was just too much. Still, there is definitely potential here. How about instead of shooting far away you shoot icecream at the cars near you and have a wider road? Or make the projectile a lot faster, or make it more obvious where the cars are going to move. Anyway, nice work. :smile:

aim 2018-05-05 06:38

Wow! What a great concept with a flawless realization. The game plays like a dream! :) The visual design is so gorgeous! Such a challenging game, too. I love this.

scott-steffes 2018-05-07 11:09

The visuals are amazing! I initially missed the part about switching flavors using right click. That should probably be at the beginning of the tutorial. Also because it's using the mouse, I assumed that where you click affected what happened, So I was left clicking on the 3 flavor circles thinking it would give me different flavors. Other than that amazing execution!

puke7 2018-05-15 03:24

Love the aesthetica, brah. Serious coordination required.
