I was so confused at first as I didn't know how to pick up those scoops from the ground, until I finally noticed there were cones at the corner of the screen. I think the game can be further improved by having a clearer instruction and a better balance of the colors of scoops (I have seen 5 orders of purely black scoops and all scoops flying around are in white lol). Good enough as your first jam game!

Completely agree! Next game, I will also think a lot more of the screen ratio.. I definently learned that "edges" are danger zone for putting important stuff!

I wish it was possible to have more control how things play out. Whether through influceing the ice cream machine more; being able to increase the frequency of a specific flavour, or potentially jamming it for a temprorary stun, so I can refill the cones safely.
Right now the game feels like you are at the whims of the game, with little to no control over how things play out.
But the way the ice creams stack is very satisfying. Plopping nicely one atop the other.
And congrats on your first jam!

Oh I 100% agree with you! Like have the % chance of icecream based on what was requested could also be one option, but at the end I was just a bit too tired. So I ended up with something I was happy enough with! Thank you for playing and thank you for giving a honest feedback!

"He was a fairy" haha, look at him fly! Also, a little balance would go a long way, otherwise it's harder than dark souls. Other than than, great stuff :D!

I am no good at this one lol. Some good ideas tho!

hahaha I think it's impossible to be good at this one as I didn't really get time to balance it. I also wanted to add a broom to clean the icecream on the floor that would revive a bit of HP. but yeah.. was fun to do my first game jam.
