The sound and music are really good! The game feels nice to play.
Only thing i would change is the display size to be smaller in the browser, i didnt see all of the ui. Having the game window be like 720p with the itch button for fullscreen would be better imo.
That is the only issue i had with the game.
Very fun! Good job!
Appreciate the kind words on the music ! thanks for playing !
Aww hell ye, I'm sucker for these types of games! I got to the end pretty quick, so I tried to see how fast you could complete the game by doing nothing, since both ghost and invisible dude will give you money and tips for empty ice cream. It was surprisingly slower than I thought it would be lol
But but, love the visual, something about simplistic ghosts and ghouls + devil himself makes the whole selling ice cream lot fun. Sound effects, although times disgusting (in a good way), added a lot to the whole gory frozen treats. The main gameplay loop was well executed, and I think there is a lot of potential to expand it further if wanted. I guess if I had any criticism is the example pics of the ice creams were bit small, but I got over that quickly.
Overall, Great work! ^^
Will be fixing resolution / cursor size issues after results are in. Thanks for playing and your comments!
Definitely an outstanding artstyle! Great job!
Thank you ! Tried to keep it simple yet effective!
When I saw the name of your game i new i have to play it and I really enjoyed playing it. It is sometimes really difficult and progression seems a little bit slow, maybe lowering the price by a little bit would be good. Like refills 8 and then 5 with the upgrade, upgrades 20 less.
A maximum day count would be cool too, like, you have x days until your soul will be sold, you can buy it for 300 and be free. This would also prevent cheesing the "Suprise me" and "Glasses" spirits. Right now you can just pass an empty cone to every spirit and get "infinite" money.
But overall this idea is so nice and I enjoyed it so much!
Thanks for your suggestions and time and thanks for playing ! Yeah if had more time I would definitely add more customers so cheesing would not be as easy. :-)
Actually gets pretty hard at times! My main feedback would be that the large graphic cursors were a little hard to use. Definitely something to expand upon here given extra time to build in more upgrades etc. Would be cool if you could hire monsters to work in your truck to build a sort of ice cream empire.
Thanks for your time and feedback, appreciate it . Will be fixing resolution / cursor size issues after results are in, Yeah could expand upon this in so many ways, The monster hiring system you suggested is a real neat idea !
I didn’t mention the resolution but I’m guessing others have? On my monitor the game didn’t immediately fit however I found it can easily be fixed by switching into full screen mode. If anyone else is having trouble seeing the whole game they could try this and see if it helps.
very niceee, i luv it so much! very simple yet efficient! I love how you use the money to make it more engaging.
Thank you ! I personally love making money in videogames!
It was fun to remember the previous order of some of the monsters, the repeated orders gave an extra memory game spice to the submit. Althrough the big spoon cursor is cute, it was hard to click exactly what I wanted on. Nice, cozy game, GG!
Glad we were able to achieve the cosiness we were aiming for , Thanks for stopping by !
Super cute, I loved how the monsters each had a unique icecream order:)
Haha I know I am the type who always orders the same thing xD - thanks for playing !
The music is groovy and I love it! What are your musical influences Bhamjo ?
Hey glad you enjoyed the game and the music!
My main inspirations are: composer Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill franchise), Boards of Canada and Metro Area :-)
Boards of Canada is definitely one of the best band ever ! A lot of people recommended me Akira Yamaoka and I still haven't properly listened to his work, I think now it's time !
Art style is super clean and polished. Gameplay is also really polished, really satisfying gameplay loop and quite addicting! Awesome wee game :)
Thanks for your kind words! :)
Love the aesthetics, the sounds and especially the idea! I mean the word play is just great hahaha! Gameplay is simple and clean, and contrary to other games of the same genre, super chill! Very well done ^^
Thanks for playing, Glad you enjoyed the chill vibes !
I really liked your game, but I'm a vegetarian now...
Haha ! Thanks for playing, Glad you enjoyed it
Wow. I loved ur game. So polished. I only wish the sauces had a bit more unique color. Its a bit hard to quickly determine the sauces on stacked ice cream in the beginning. But all in all very impressive.
Thanks for playing and giving your feedback, really appreciate it !
Well what do we have here then? A spokey hell based Ice Cream Shop? How refreshing and gentle. Was I sacred? No! Was I the best at keeping my customers happy? Certainly not! Did I love the art and general vibe? That I did. I'd say it was a jolly good go at making a polished game that has few faults apart from people will either like the genre or they will not.
Thanks for playing and commenting ! Really appreciate it !
This was super cool! Great visual and music, I like this more cutesy take on the jam!
Some feedback:
The game feels a bit pointless until you see the "escape from hell" button. If it would have appeared and shown that it was locked behind the other upgrades it would have been more motivating. Otherwise I think the gameplay was interesting in the beginning, but it got old since there is no more variation coming in over time, making getting those last 300 coins feel like a grind. Basically, aesthetics are super nice, audio is pretty good but the gameplay lacked in depth. When it comes to theming, you did a hella good job though. Great work!
Thanks your kind words and taking your time to play through the whole game and giving your valuable feedback! Glad you Enjoyed it !
Excellent game! I had good fun playing it, and it was a fun concept. I could see lots of upgrades and extras added to the game so you can build a whole Iscream empire.
Thanks for playing ! Appreciate your comments ! Originally had so many more upgrades planned ... but with just a week to build this we had to make some cuts aha
I fully understand the feeling of having to make cuts. We started with loads of ideas (mini-games, states, etc.) and had to cut loads of them and move toward more of a graphic novel theme in the end. The time goes so fast.
Great game! Loved the art and gameplay which was very addictive
Thank you for playing and your kind words !
eeeekk I wouldn't want to eat an ice cream from fingers, that's for sure! But I loved playing your game, it has a lot of potential! Loved the sound design too! Keep it up! <3
Haha, Tried to think of some alternatives for sprinkles, Chocolate fingers and bubblegum balls... this is what I come up with, Thanks again for playing and your kind words !
Nicely done, look very polished!
Thank you ! appreciate your kind words!
