On our subject Game Development, we were asked to find and play a certain game. We were given groupmates to play with us and do a review based on how they react and what could they say on to that game. I suggested the game that I was playing when I was in high school (Y8 days XD).
This game is called Bad Ice Cream. Bad Ice Cream was developed by NITROME, a mobile game development studio that was founded on August 10 by Mat Annal and Heather Stancliffe. The concept of the game Bad Ice Cream is very much like a bomber man and pacman style. In terms for the game’s interface, it was still very simple and arcade like. Because this game was released long ago.
The objective of the game is for you to collect all the various collections of fruits that is scattered without getting smashed by the roaming monsters, which are obviously your enemies. Getting hit by this monster will make your ice cream avatar melt and the game will be over.
The controls of the game are the arrow keys, and the space bar. Arrow keys is obviously for your avatar to move and, space bar is for you to create a wall of ice to block your enemies and to break the ice walls.
As we played the game with my groupmates, @btsenthusiastx and @captoftherollyjoger, I noticed that at first, they’re not that excited while playing the game. But as the remaining level goes harder they starting to react and be into it. Especially Edlyn, she didn’t notice that she’s screaming and when he she lost, she always wants for another game, while Iris is still being quiet - lol. They decided to try playing it in multiplayer and see who’s the best on playing it. We’re kinda (kinda??) confused because of the controls that’s why we often get lost.
As to sum it all, the graphics of the game and its sound may affect the player and turns out that he/she may see this game boring but In some other ways it may catch their attention because of its difficult obstacles as the level of this game goes higher. Well, I may say that this game is perfect for those people whose just want to kill their time and looking for a mild challenge.(XD)
