The intro scene is great! Gameplay, audio and visuals really blend with each other as well. However, after some point the game feels repetetive. By that I mean it doesn't get hard enough, and more varieties would go a long way. . Other than those I had a great time playing it!

Heat WavesEhyy! Thanks a lot! Really agree with you, more upgrades were planned as well, but the main problem in my opinion is mostly that with the game difficulty being so low, also the "better ratings"and the "kids patience" upgrades become obsolite as well so yeah, would love to fix these later after the jam finishes! :))
Want to start by saying that the first 3 or so minutes of playing were great. I couldn't help but smile with how the music and sound effects were intermingled. I think the most concise way to put my critique is that the game unfortunately outstays it's welcome, becoming trivially easy over time. The main thing I would've liked is if the game either ended at some point, or if the difficulty curve was balanced to make losing an inevitability. All that said, this is probably the most polished game from the jam I've seen so far, keep it up!

Scooped! Matchine MalfunctionThank you so much man, i really spend a lot of time making jam games feel as juicy and polished as possible ahaha so this makes me sooo happy, sadly i didn't have a lot of time left to test the difficulty and see if it expected my likings (spoiler, it didn't ahahah) so yeah i agree with most of the comments saying this, thanks again! :D
Amazing, it's really fun to play. The implementation of the theme and the special item is spot on.

Frostbyte: The Meltdown SurvivorWowieee, that is on another level! That is crazy that you something that polished for a jam. It feels amazing to play and is hilarious. The only thing it is lacking in is variety. The game feels very samey no matter how long you play it. I think it'd be literally perfect and a straight up standalone game if it were expanded with all kinds of unique upgrades and more kid types. lovely work, Definitely a top game

Icily PortalsWow thank you so much, this makes me very happy, sadly most of the things i planned to add didn't make it into the final submission, but i'm still happy with what i made, hope i'll have the chance and will to work on it in the future (even though i say this about every jam game but i never do so AHEM)
Lovely and addictive ¦3
Awesome use of multi-layered music that turns on and off when you burn these zombies feed those kids.
Although it turns repetitive by level 10, and by level 100 the laser gets upgraded to something that evaporates everyone at the slightest touch. I tried to break the game by collecting enough +1 seconds to not feed them anymore, but that would require swinging around for another 50 levels or so.
I had lots of fun, thank you for that experience!

Ordinary Ice Cream DayAHAAHHA, thank you, so happy you had fun! (I had probably less fun making the upgrades system work within the last two hours lol ) btw yeah, i just added some values not really testing them out in the later waves as there were other things i was more worried about like making the game actually work :') Thank you so much again! :D
Cool idea, and the implementation of the game was superb. The sound track and the "nam nam"s were hilarious. Excellent Work

Ice-Cream MadnessOkay we got a game on our hands, you guys knew what you where doing, gameplay is adicticting, sound desing with the voice's that activate on ice cream feeding and goes with the music sound so nice to the hear, Pixel art is great and the little story card at the begining are so well made. 10 OUT OF 10 👏

TheGlitchGirlInsane game, really deserves the top, very nice job

Soft Served, Hard TimesThe game was very very fun! I enjoyed waiting for a bunch of kids to pile up, before filling their mouths with ice cream! It was very enjoyable and the whole game felt very responsive! Music and SFX were also amazing, along with all the visuals. I love how all the coins gets collected at the end, with the ding ding ding ding sound. And the implementation was far more creative than the "Oh nooo, the mcdonalds ice cream machine is broooken" thing everyone was going for. 10/10
Final review is 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
I loved prioritising the skinny kids and blasting their faces with ice cream because it took less time XD this game is a pearl.

WcDonald's SimulatorThis is fantastic! Fun gameplay loop, amusing art, and great audio integration. The viewport feels a bit small, but that might also be my monitor?
Either way, you all did a great job!

Scooped! Matchine MalfunctionThis game is amazing! I love the art and music, the feeling of moving around and the camera movements all feel super nice! Love the little detail of the kids being in tune to the music, genuinely amazing work :)

Macca Madness!Thank you soooo much, the polishness of a game is a really important part for me lol so thanks again, for the music and sounds tho you need to thank my man Nate Sassoon, he came with the idea of the kids being in tune to the music and with everything sound related! :D
This is so goofy and fun! Love how smooth the art is and how simple but fun the gameplay is. Good job making a game that can be easily played over and over :)
