Had a fun time discovering all of the ice cream recipes and loved all the artwork as well!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it!
Wow, just wow, this is absolutely incredible!
Thank you!! We’re really happy that you liked it! :D
Very well done, wish you all had time to add more of those features!
Thanks!! Hopefully we can push more updates out!
Superbly polished game. It's a strong contender for jam winner for sure. Great arts, chill music, sound effects are great. The juicy effects are great, but I like the effects when the machine fails better than the one when the machine is running haha.
I also like that the recipe book is available from the get go so it's just like a chill vibe-y game. Very on cozy theme.
I also enjoy the fact that the ingredients have physics for no reason so you can play trash can basketball with it LOL.
If there's one tiny nitpick I could make, it's that the big sprites from the ingredients like vanilla and chocolate don't have the same silhouette as the small box icons, so sometimes I get those mixed up. And I guess the limitation is pretty weak (maybe non-exisitent? haha).
Either way, awesome entry!
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We’re glad that you like the vibe of our game :D. Our programmer/ game designer would be happy to hear that you enjoyed the physics!
The vanilla sprite is a known problem we are working to fix, and we did cut down on a lot of features to aim for a more polished look. Thanks for the feedback!
Very strong entry, the game is very polished. The art and music are bringing the vibe as much as the ice cream activity. Though, I wish it had some gaming element into it, some sort of a goal, I dunno. Anyway, very cool game, I like it!
P.S. I couldn't open the last special ingredient, I don't know - is it just me and I should do much more ice cream to unlock it or is it a bug? Cause I've did all of the other ice cream, including special ones with jelly and crab.
Thank you! Really appreciated the feedback. Adding a goal sounds like a great feature to add if we decide to move forward for this game:D!
For the ingredient not unlocking, thanks for bringing it up! To unlock the missing ingredient you mentioned, it requires unlocking the other recipes in the cook book on the fridge located at the top left corner. Let me know if that works!
Wow the game is so pretty and polished, I loved the UI SFX from the start, it's all really satisfying! I loved seeing all the combinations and I loved the art sprites of them so much <3 my fav was the sandwich mention LOL
Also... you have no idea HOW MUCH I WANT AN ICE CREAM NOW so muchhh haha they all looked delicious
Thank you!! We’ve put a lot of effort on the audio and UI and the team will be happy to hear this :D! Glad you liked playing our game!
Also, Ice cream craving is a known side effect of playing our game 😋😋✨
Great Game!
Theme was very good and well supported by the well polished audio and visuals! The art direction, audio and game play really make the theme standout and if it were for the theme alone I think I would have wanted to explore the entire recipe book made available to explore.
I think the game play isn't for me so I didn't stick around. While I think the game play was great for a comfy cozy game (which is the point of this jam), it didn't draw my interest enough. I also don't think it spoke to the limitation well. The limitation only seems to be present in the name of the game alone. Whether I choose to throw out what I've created or feed the animal seems to be inconsequential. And I think this along with the fact that exploring and unlocking new recipes isn't something I look for in a game, so I didn't stay long. Perhaps I didn't stick through it long enough to see the consequences of my actions.
Nonetheless, I think this game does a great job leaning into the theme of this jam and overall an inspiring and comfy experience! Despite the lack of presence of the limitation I think there is a lot to explore here in the many combinations of ice cream that has been made available! Overall a great comfy cozy beach experience! Very nice work!
Thank you for the detailed feedback!! There is a lot of things like the puzzle feature that we wanted to add in but were cut down because the scope and time crunch. Definitely something to put in consideration if we decide to move forward for this game! Thanks so much! :D
This game looks so polished! Everything looks gorgeous!
I had fun making the ice creams and (absolutely not) feeding the animals. I kinda wish the game would not give the recipes to add some puzzle work in it, like having to try things out with only the ice cream shadowy-shape and the description (for example, the Snow White Crunch description has hints to find out the recipe). But that would lead to a more puzzle oriented game than cozy and it's personal preference.
Anyway, great job ✨
Big thanks! Happy to hear that you liked the look of it! And yes, we did initially plan to have a puzzle feature but ended up aiming for a simpler loop to be more polished. I can see how much fun the puzzle would add to the game, definitely a consideration if we decide to turn this into a full game! Really appreciate your feedback! :D
One of the most insanely polished entries I've seen! The art, audio, physics, etc. is brilliant. It all felt so pleasant to play.
Thank you, this means a lot to us! So glad that you liked it :D
excellent work
Thanks! Always nice to see :D
Adorable ice creams, wanna eat them all (๑•👅•๑)
My favorite one:
Hey, thanks for playing! This is also my favorite one ;) Glad you enjoyed the variety!
Absolute astonishing! Everything fits sooo well! GREAT JOB!
Thanks a lot! We really aimed for a polished version, even if that meant dropping features. It's really nice to see people enjoy the simple loop :D!
Playing this is a really smooth experience, everything is so well put together!
That means a lot to us! We really strived for that feeling, glad you like it!
What a beautiful and relaxing game! It's super polished, from the amazing art, the animations and the sound design... everything has so much love and care put into it. I loved it!
Thank you!! We're happy you had fun playing our game! Much love from the team :D
Really great game, very cute and fits well with the theme!! (: It's very enjoyable and chill to play, might be nice to know if the animals want anything specific as well!
Big thanks! We're glad you enjoyed the game! And yes, having specific asks from the animals were amongst our ideas, but we wanted for the game to be as polished as possible, rather than cramped with mechanics but unfinished. We really appreciate the feedback tho!
I loved the animals... they are all so cute! The game's physics surprised me—I can't imagine what it took to create them. I also really liked the ingredient combinations and appreciated how clearly the game lets you know when you get one wrong. Cant wait to see your next projects!
Thank you! For the physics, a couple of custom scripts here and there, but mostly it was Unity baked in physics. Thanks again!
Really love the art on this one. Nice personality and fun little loop of trying to work out what combinations I had left to try. Very cozy! Would love to see the animals get a bit more involved - perhaps requesting certain ingredients, but i'll settle for giving them as many ice-creams as they want :P
Thanks for the feedback! We had no time left for more mechanics, but more out of the customer was definitely in the cards!
Absolut ice cream 10/10
Thanks! A 10/10 is always super flattering. Glad you liked it :D
i had a blast jsut plugging away trying to get all the flavor combos, the art and music/sfx were so nice!
Glad you liked it! You played the game exactly how it was meant to! Thanks :D
I do feed my sheep ice cream everyday.
I don't have a sheep to feed at home, but the cat in the game is actually based on mine :) Thanks for playing our game!
