Bunny Ice Cream Maker by rkhadder
1 to 5 local players. Supports keyboard and up to 4 controllers.
In this silly micro game, a frantic team of rabbits must make ice cream but when the ice cream machine breaks and spills ice cream everywhere, they have to eat it to keep the machines running! But they can only eat so much without going to the toilet, while the toilet teleports around the map.
Yeah it makes no sense...

The pink blob is a bunch of 2D rigid objects with a mesh render, mesh collider and shader that gives that appearance. Its a pretty cool technique. @rkhadder might be able to explain it better :)
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!

The art is pretty reminiscent of Dr Seuss which also stacks onto the whimsy in a great way. The giant jar of cherries and the ice cream machine itself on the right are both quite a bit busier than the rest of the map. I think it would look a little bit better if some of that detail was spread across the whole scene a little bit more. Having fewer, larger cherries in the jar would have fit the art style a bit better.
Well done on the flowing ice cream. It looks great when it's flowing and when it merges with itself and when you eat some of it.
The jumps for the bunnies were pretty good. They were quick jumps and took you high enough. The jumps weren't the exact height of all the platforms (they were higher which is a good thing) so you had a bit of wiggle room with your jumps and didn't have to time them perfectly to get onto the platform. The double jump, however, was a bit inconsistent. I had a lot of trouble jumping to the top button from the pink pipe. It didn't want to let me double jump a lot of the time.
The movement speed may have been a little slow, but it was okay. It was only ever really a problem when you went all the way up to the top right and then it was a long ways back down. Having a way to drop from there could have been handy, but that's minor.
The speed of eating the ice cream and the amount you could eat seemed to be well balanced. I never felt super overwhelmed by the amount of ice cream on screen. I knew I could quickly gobble it up and be fine.
Having one button for using buttons, eating ice cream, and using the toilet was very simple to use, but it did cause some issues when you wanted to use the button and couldn't because there was some ice cream nearby that you were trying to eat. Maybe you want that as part of the game that you have to clear the ice cream before you can use the buttons, but maybe something to think about.
For me the most difficult part turned out the first phase where you have to push all the buttons as it's not so obvious how to get on some platforms and the bunny slides from some of them. :wink:
Anyway nice entry, congrat's!
but seriously, the multiplayer is a sweet addition to this game!
I'm not sure having a toilet in the same room as an ice cream machine is very sanitary...
Congratulation on a really funny game :)
