Very cute game! You drive everywhere to deliver icecreams,it's a impressive experience!But the map looks too rough.

Relaxing and stressful at the same time. The ice cream theme with the music make it seem relaxing but i got really often close to barely make a day.

I like the proverbs!

Very cute game, reminds me of something i would play as a flash game when i was young. i would love too see an expanded version of this

Cute and relaxing experience with a very chill (ha-ha) music. The proverbs was a nice addition! I loved how peacefull and happy the entire game was.

The graphics are so cute but, the theme is stuck in my head now lol.

I can't get past day 1 but that's an absolute skill issue on my part, haha! (I'm a MUCH better driver in real life!) I enjoyed this game, I did get mixed up with the purple ice cream and the chocolate one at one point, I wished there was a way for me to restart the ice cream instead of being forced to serve an incorrect flavour... even if there was a penalty for restarting it. I thought the art style was very cute and as others have said, made me very nostalgic of flash games I would play as a kid. I enjoyed it enough to play it multiple times, so great job!

@TofuCat I probably should have added a better indicator, but you can use the trash can on the left to restart the cone. I may look into improving that after work today before the jam closes.

tofucat 2023-05-01 18:36

@steven-garberg ahhh I must have missed that! Thank you :)

Nice Game, also for the trashcan why dont you put it below the ice cream that way it is in teh line of sight for the player

Chill and relaxing game, it's a great addition to this game jam ! Very cute and polished

very cute game. The map could be more "pastel"

mistagiggles 2023-05-02 15:41

Fun relaxing game, nice art and music. Well presented

omrilahav 2023-05-02 19:17

Very sweet game, pun intended. Well done!

Delivering ice cream. Cute characters. The map didn't feel like it quite matched the rest of the graphics. Would be nice if I didn't have to use a mouse.

The game is so cute and I realized I'm a bad driver haha. Love it!

i-wrote-it-myself 2023-05-03 09:32

An adorable idea! I love the use of the theme, and making ice creams is really fun; Well done!

kristallllllik 2023-05-03 10:52

I really enjoyed making ice cream :)

norah 2023-05-03 20:57

The game is really cute ! Loved it :smile: Maybe more challenge for ice cream recipes would have been better

resacagames 2023-05-04 20:51

Fun little delivery game!! Ice cream looked very eatable, now I'm hungry. Nice job!! 🤩

dang the icecream industry is tough! After a few goes I was able to make it past day 1, feelin' like a pro! Game has a lovely vibe, nice art style. If that initial difficulty was tweaked a bit I think that would help a load. Great work!

aurailus 2023-05-08 03:13

This game is pretty challenging! Driving around the map is fun, the main ice-cream is solid, but a little bit simple, and the amount that the game expects you to make per day is satisfyingly challenging. I think that more complex main mechanics would be nice, and the music in the background feels a bit tonally dissonant with the difficulty of the game. It lulled me into a sense of security before I totally bombed my first run. Nice job!

Hello, congrats on your entry! I liked your game and played to 5 days a couple of times. At first I thought I failed on day 5 since the window looks the same as when you make below $20 on day 1, but I guess day 5 is the end? Between each day, I think there could have been some opportunity to ramp up difficulty.

Nice art on the ice cream screen and title! I think the map looks like a different style. Speaking of the map, I thought it was really fun how you can plow through neighbor's yards for shortcuts, haha. For some reason I had a hard time maneuvering the van, but I think that's just me getting turned around and forgetting which button to press to turn whatever direction I'm facing.

I noticed after the end of each day, you can still drive the van around and go to a house to start an order, essentially prepping your next order for the next morning. Other than that, I didn't find any other bugs! Good job! Like many of the other players, I'll probably be humming the ice cream song around my house for a while.

Funny game. Pretty relaxing and concentrating at the same time.

crygos 2023-05-19 22:40

Cute game. It may appear relaxing, but there is this timer in your head that the day will end soon :D
