This was such a fun and polished game! The art was amazing and so was the music. It's definitely challenging and fun since you have to multitask with driving and shooting!

The car mechanics are impressive; you can feel the weight of your ice cream truck when braking, accelerating, or driving over slippery splatters.

Damn this is so well put together! It feels like a fast gameplay which makes it really enjoyable to drive around delivering ice :)

Man, I think that the people who went with the "ice cream truck turned into heavy weaponry" idea has some of the coolest games out here. The Object implementation was obviously flawless, and so was the theme.

The gameplay was very very nice, and controlling the car felt good, although sometimes I'd hit the very corner of a wall, and it would bring me to a stop almost instantly, which didn't feel that good, maybe having rounder hitboxes would help. But I was enchanted with all the gun variety, like, this isn't just an ice cream gun, this is an ice cream WAR MACHINE! And all the different weapons really made the game more fun.

Visuals were so beautiful, from the city to the robots, to the shadow of the truck and the custom cursor, everything looked so great! And audio was also awesome too! Every sound felt so in place and were just pleasant to listen to!

My final rating is 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5

I really liked the controls of the car and the idea of the skeletons burning with impatience

Driving felt good, sound desing and pixel art were very good. Nice Game 👊

Very polished game, loved being bad at driving and navigating :)

Pretty smart to add tractor movement into a top-down shooter.

Vehicle controls feel very good, and the variety of ammo charges is nice to have.

The soundtrack is amazing, one of my favorites! ¦3

Something I'd wish to have in addition to all the cool features: minimap (as the city feels like a maze until you remember the layout, but even after that, it was hard navigating to distant targets), variation of enemies and how they interact with you.

But overall, it's a solid submission, well done, Team ICE CREAM GUN!

When I realised you could move to cursor to see further ahead, that's when this became peak 👌

Very polished! Looks like a finished minigame, very cool!  We had almost the same idea haha

I liked you could pick up other ice creams as power ups, and the controls of the van felt nice ^^

But I thought the robot were burning skeletons... it made more sense once I read the page XD

Fun game! I quite like the controls, they feel pretty good, especially when you get the pink machine gun ice. The visuals are nice over all as well, with fitting audio. I can't quite tell what's being said in the spoken audio file though.
