Quick introduction

Are you looking for a simple, easy-to-play game that's engaging enough to keep you coming back every day? Bad Ice Cream is a game you can't overlook. The game offers a unique combination of maze gameplay, fruit-collecting missions, and an extremely thrilling avoidance element, where you must skillfully avoid enemies that constantly move and change their behavior.

With classic pixel graphics and flexible 2-player mode, this is an ideal choice for quick entertainment, reflex training, and coordination with friends.

How to play

Players control the ice cream to move in the maze with the arrow keys, and use the spacebar to create or destroy ice blocks, to block enemies, or open new paths.

Controls:

  • WASD/ Arrows key: Move the character
  • Spacebar / F: Freeze or smash the ice
  • Objective: Collect all the fruits on the screen without being caught

The higher the level, the more complicated the maze becomes, the fruits are distributed more difficultly, and the enemies are faster and more dangerous. Collecting and avoiding, therefore, also require you to have good reflexes and a clear strategy.

Outstanding features

  • Choose your favorite ice cream flavor: Vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. Each character has its style
  • 2-player mode: Play with friends, split the screen, or challenge the score
  • Strategy with ice: Use ice not only to block enemies but also to create a smarter path
  • 40 unique levels: Each screen is a maze with its own layout, enemies, and challenges
  • Collect fruits continuously: Collecting is not just a task. It is also a motivation to help you overcome each level

Small tips to play smarter

  • Create an escape route before opening a path. Don’t lock yourself between ice and enemies.
  • Observe enemies before moving. Some have clear rules, so learn to read the path.
  • Divide the area when playing 2 players. Each person gathering fruits on one side saves time and reduces risk.
  • Gather in clusters instead of one fruit at a time. Focus on gathering groups of fruits that are close together first to avoid running around.
