I love the style of the game! Driving the car is not that hard.. bringing the car to stop is way harder. Great job! I love it!

It's hard to go backwards but I really like your city and visuals!

Scored 375.00 bones yo. This game is dope. Great 3D models, especially for a weekend. Just looks really good in general. Chose a great palette and stuck with it. The car feels very skilly (I made that word up just for this game) but could still probably use a little more adjusting to make going fast feel better? Also, feel like some audio is missing for like the car when it skids an takes off etc. Overall, very solid.

One thing i know for sure.... penguins can't drive ice trucks :D I like the mood of this game, it's so amazing :)
I've felt like this penguin which drives the truck is completely drunk :D

Cool graphics and very nice music! I like the humor too. The only part I didn't like is the driving mechanics which ruined the fun for me a bit.

Made $250 :D I loved the penguins, very nice addition. Fun game!

The only complaint I have with this is that the van was way too hard to control, it too long to break/accelerate and turning was too fast. Apart from that though the look and sound of the game was fantastic, I love the extra touch of being able to see things through walls (stencil shader?).

This game is amazing. I really liked visuals and humor (This Penguin character - brilliant :D). The only issue I have is that driving should be more responsive.

I was very impressed with the graphics and loved the hordes of penguins surrounding my truck! I did however find the truck pretty hard to control, but other than that it's a great solid game!

Great audio-visuals, they both fit the style perfectly. I mean, gangsta :penguin: how did you come up with that? The visual gag with the ice-cream loving penguin chicks is also brilliant!

The car handling could have been more loose for my liking. It is nearly impossible to drift or even drive fast without spinning. Maybe that is by design taken how rickety ice-cream vans are, but it doesn't quite feel good to me. Braking and reversing are also under powered. It is annoying more than anything to brake, hit a box and get stuck for dozens of seconds trying to reverse out of the situation.

Another issue, which is worth looking into now that the jam is over, is performance. Granted my computer is old, but it can only manage 25-30 frames full HD at lowest quality setting. There are also odd hitches regardless of settings, when traveling from one area to another.

Quality work overall, good job!

- Looks great - slick and charming
- Good music
- Nice physics and skidding etc, but the acceleration / steering felt a little slow? Seems like it'd be great fun if everything was a little faster and more responsive
- Overall, nice job :)

The colors are amazing and really add to the game. Looks really smooth. Well done.

wow! crazy taxi meets ice cream and penguins! the colorful art style is so cute. yes, i'm struggling with the controls especially stopping but i know that if i practice, i will master the skill of delivering ice creams!

Brilliant! I love the sleek graphics, the cool penguin(s), vinyl-scratchy sound, music, everything except for the controls, as mentioned above. But I could get used to it after few minutes and do some cool drifts :) An awesomely beautiful game!

Slick game. Even the menu looked pretty slick.

Playing Crazy Taxi as a kid, I remember the complete lack of consequences for running innocent people over to be weird and it took me out of the game. Running over low poly penguins, on the other hand, is just plain funny.
Good luck!

Nice game, interesting physics and lovely graphics!

A cute entertaining game but the only difficulty is in the controls being a pain which in my opinion isn't very fun. The theme use and the humor is very good still it would just be nice if the controls worked a bit better.

Amazing game! The visuals and the mood are incredible and the gameplay is very fun. I would really like if you continue to develop it and release a full version.

The way that I played it was more GTA for ice cream vans, and the way that it handled - well, let's say that I just did a lot of donuts when I was supposed to be delivering ice cream! However, this is an excellent game and a lot of fun. Great visuals, and lots of personality.

I like it, is a pretty game, i love the visual and the humor of the game. And of course, the physics.

Nice style!

I really like the style and the mood of the game, but in my opinion the van was really hard to control. Nice entry overall!
