Ice cream stacker by DankyPants

[raw]
made by DankyPants for LD 40 (COMPO)

IceCreamBalanceCoins.gif

The more ice cream you stack the harder it gets to balance!

Features:

  • Extremely simple, bright and idiotic music on a loop!
  • 1 Entire flavour of ice cream!
  • 3 Completely different levels!

Gameplay tip: The game starts right after you click a level so don't move your mouse right away!

Level 3 Crashes in html (And I don't know why) So if you want to check out level 3 please download a standalone version.

Love it! Such a fun mechanic. And I love the difference between levels!

Looks cool, but I ran into some issues right at the start:
- Starting level 2 often results in an immediate game over.
- Starting level 3 just hangs my browser tab.

@pixelome I am aware of the lvl 3 crash but I have no idea why it happens ( download version works just fine )
The immediate game over may be because you move your mouse right after clicking. I should have made it so that that can't happen though.

lol. I'm amused that it literally took me less than 2 seconds to lose the first couple rounds I played :) I quickly learned how not to play! Once I gained a bit of self control, I had a lot of fun. Also, you weren't lying about the music. It might be idiotic, but, now it's going to be stuck in my head for the next hour or so. Great job!

Cool idea! I don't know if it was made deliberately but the hardest part is to keep the balance with just one ice cream :smiley: Another thing is that the 3th level freezes my browser.

A wonderful little game. I saw it in the LDJAM feed a few times, and was looking forward to play it. And the thing is, I wasn't disappointed. :D It's super fun.

Cool little minigame. As others already mentioned 3rd level froze my tab and balancing one cone is the hardest part, lost instantly on pressing play =] It is fun nonetheless!

Awesome stuff, only feedback I got is that when the level starts, you can insta fail since it catches you a bit off guard, maybe have a countdown timer.

Heh, amusing concept!
Oddly, I kinda found it EASIER once I got a stack of ice cream scoops going. At least, there was kind of a sweet spot before it got totally out of control.
And I found the best waqy to get a good score on level two was to abandon the ice cream, and grab as many coins as I could with the cone before the game over set in, heh.

Neat idea, but could maybe use a little more "game" to it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I will use it when I have some to work on a more complete and polished version.

Nice job! It looks and sounds nice, and balancing with like 20 ice creams on top was a pretty wild feeling. Good feel for a nice simple premise, well done.

When will we get the chocolate scoop ice cream DLC???

@ddrkirbyisq I'll need some funding before I can implement crazy features such as a completely different flavour of icecream.

Actual answer: Maybe sometime next year but not as a DLC obviously. I'm pretty happy with what I have created and I want to work on it some more.
