How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
In our game, you control a malfunctioning robot that is constantly overheating (related to the “malfunctioning” theme). To survive, it must consume ice cream, which acts as a vital resource and grants special abilities (related to the “ice cream” special object). Each ice cream might help... or make things worse.

Me gusta el concepto aunque simple es entretenido e incluso dificil, interesante la mecanica de buffeos o nerfeos por rng

¡Gracias! Me alegra que te haya gustado el concepto. Quisimos mantenerlo simple pero con ese toque de desafío, y la mecánica de RNG le da variedad a cada partida.
This shotgun robot looks cool, very clean gameplay!
Thanks a lot! Really happy you liked the shotgun bot — he may be overheating, but at least he looks cool 😎🔥
I love how you combine all those elements - wonderful integration of heat machine and cold ice cream. The risk and urgency of taking ice cream make the game very strategic. It would be great if there were some extra visuals on the robot that warn me about overheating. Good job and its fun to play!
Thanks a lot for playing and for the thoughtful feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the concept. And you're totally right — adding some visual cues to the robot for overheating would make the experience clearer. Noted for future updates!
I really like the game, simple and well brought, the maluses/bonuses are interesting aswell
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the bonuses and maluses — they’re meant to keep things spicy 🍦
Also... nice score! Mine is 1215 😉
Good use of the theme and item. Really fun!
Thank you! I'm really happy you had fun — the theme was a blast to work with! 🍦🤖
So nice when the controls change, good job!
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the control twists — malfunctions can be fun sometimes 😄
Enjoyable game with nice art. Good use of the theme and special object as well.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it — I had a lot of fun mixing robots, heat, and ice cream 🍦🤖🔥
the feedback from killing bots and collecting ice-cream was satisfying, inverted aim was really frustrating (in a good way)
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear the feedback felt satisfying — and yeah, that inverted aim is pure chaos by design 😅 glad it hit the mark!
Fun game and an interesting interpretation of the "malfunctioning" theme.
Thank you! Really glad you found it fun — I had a lot of fun twisting the theme in a weird way 😄
this game is really fun to play! the malfunctioning theme is in action in a really fun way, i love the randomness of it. it adds a challenge that isn't just hard, but fun to try and figure out. also love the art for the little guy, he's my friend! i also love how the temperature gauge encourages you to continue getting ice cream, despite the odds being against you for malfunction quirks. part of me wonders if the game would feel better if instead of autoshooting, you could control the rate of fire of the ice cream gun.
something else i'm noticing is that it's kind of hard to spot the ice cream with the bright flowers in the background. i love the flowers, but maybe they could be darker and the ice cream could be brighter or more noticeable so they stick out more?
Thank you so much for playing and for the detailed feedback!
I'm really glad you connected with the chaos and made friends with the little guy — he appreciates it 😄
Totally agree on both points: giving the player more control over the shots and improving the visual contrast would help a lot. Definitely something to consider for a future update! Thanks again! 🍦🤖
this game its so amazing, i like the ice cream and the robots, looks so good, and its easy to play :D
Thank you so much! We're really happy you enjoyed it 🧊🤖🍦
Robots and ice cream make everything better!
interesting game, it's cool that you added button inversion
Thanks! Glad you noticed! Nothing says ‘malfunction’ like your buttons betraying you mid-fight 😅🤖
