After reading your instructions down below, and giving the game the 'ole college try;

It's  cute, fun little game :) A little bit of polish could see this being something I'd pay money for.

Cool concept, would love to see it finished.

I tried either the v0.32 and the v0.1 and was not able to interact with anything else than the ingredients. It's sure I miss something, could you explain ?

Hi and many thanks for trying my game :) The controls are as follows:


1) You can move with arrow keys. If you're using 0.32, you can switch to WASD with F9.
2) You can get into the workshop, read signs and into the ice cream van, using ENTER.  Be sure to be in front of the van (from your perspective)  and at the workshop door, so you can activate them when pressing ENTER.
3) You can mix ingredients and sell ice cream using the mouse. To mix, use left mouse button (click on an ingredient then click on the mixture bowl - it is not programmed like drag and drop, but click then click again). Also pick up fruit from trees, plants and items from the ground using the left mouse button (if close enough)
4) You can switch the ice cream you have in your first 12 slots of the workshop (which will be the ones shown in the van for selling) using the right mouse button.
5) Check out the recipes of bases (which you will need for creating sorbets and ice cream, respectively) on the game page on itch. For example, a water base is done mixing one water and one sugar.
6) After having bases you can mix them with fruits, plants or items to create ice creams. For example mix 3 limes with a water base to create lime sorbet!

Thanks a lot! Let me know if it worked :)

I tested it again with your instructions, it was way better !

It is a little counter-intuitive to play with Enter and also to Click with the mouse button, I did not understand this. I found some recipes myself and was happy to serve ice to aliens.

Great submission !

Really liked the idea! This ice cream van is looking good! Unfortunately I couldn't craft any ice cream.

Thanks! Do try again when you're able:

  • Make an ice cream base. The easiest one is the water base, just mix water and sugar. The custard base is a little bit more complicated, recipe is in the game description.
  • Gather fruit and stuff from the trees, plants and ground and mix it with the bases: e.g. 3 limes + a water base = 1 lime sorbet; 2 vanilla beans + a custard base = 1 vanilla ice cream.
  • There are 21 ice creams to craft :)

Hope you try it again :)

Good job!

Version 0.1 was posted before the deadline; but if possible please play the 0.2 version (posted a little bit after the deadline) because it fixes some small (but important) bugs.
