Solid submission. Liked playing through it. And I got totally trashed by the "cool customer" AND a clown, lol. Good graphics and dialogue.
Great concept and very coherent art style. Makes me glad I never had to work in a food service job. I guess these characters are probably based on true stories? 😅
great concept. I really like the graphics and dialogue.
nice concept, i would just make the scene transitions faster
love the humor too
I love the style of this game! I've been wanting to do a Papers, Please like game for GB, but seeing it actually be executed is awesome. You did a great job with the ice cream part options.
cute music, fit perfectly. love the characters and had a fun time playing:)
Finally, I can work a low wage ice cream job! But for real though, this was very well written and I like all the little quirks about the characters. I don't think I didn't like a single one. Theres not a ton to do in terms of gameplay, but its got plenty of options and guesswork to do for some of these customers. Awesome!
THE GOODEST CUSTOMER - im crying: i love this game so much - im soft for ice cream and food games - thank you so much for the friendly neighborhood ice cream!!
So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!
Made me think of old computer games! Like on DOS and Macintosh. :D
Also, was the Strange Customer a Jhonen Vasquez reference?
Nope, just a coincidence. Thanks for playing tho!
Very funny. Loved all the characters :)
It reminded me a lot of Papers, Please. Would've been funny if some people came back for one or the other reasons (like the fries guy) :D
Glad you enjoyed the game! I might expand on this game in the future so maybe characters will return.
the writing was hilarious. i definitely wanted to go back and try different interactions. this game could totally be expanded into something bigger
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it! Maybe in the future I will come back to this project.
What a fun game! I enjoyed the humour in the writing, the character design and I think it's just the right length for us to savour the beauty of this game, just like ice-cream! Good job!
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for playing!
One of my personal Game Jam favorites. Top notch character design!
Thank you! That is so flattering to hear!
Fun interpretation of the theme. But man, I don't think I'd ever make it in the ice cream business. I upset the clown(s) and I really upset the cool dude.
It's a cutthroat industry. Thank you so much for playing!
Really love the dialogues, pretty funny game ^^
Thank you for playing!
nice game, i wanted more interaction with the dog. now you need to make a game about this good boy ! ;D
The dog will return.
Is there any hints about what those special customers actually want? Also, is there a way to be rude?
btw, it's a small cool game ... not talking about the temperature
The instructions are confusing on purpose and not everyone can be satisfied. While you cannot be directly rude, some customers do have special dialogue if you mess their order up completely. (hint hint, one of them REALLY hates pistachio flavor). Also thank you for checking out my game!
Super cool, I liked how the customers were all very different from one another, but petting the dog wasn't an option? How could you! 5 Stars.
Thanks a bunch! I cannot believe I missed the opportunity with petting the dog. That's my L.
I love the more obscure instructions from customers leaving a more anxious experience. The characters are full of character! The theme of friendly is strongly felt.
Appreciate the kind words!
