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? 😅

Friend Switch GBShowdown 2023I 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.

Concert GroveFinally, 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!

Bork Paw KissesVery 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

River Styx Round-UpWhat 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!

A Friend In NeedFun 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.

Cache CacheIs 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

Song of Morus: Ghostly NightI 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.
