bad ice-cream is an amazing game dude.I finished the whole game in two days. Nitrome games are good. They fantastic games. Carry on your brilliant work nitrome. You are a legend in browser gaming.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're not a New Englander, Tricky? Ice-cream is a year-round treat in the cold Northeastern U.S.
Oh gosh, some of these levels are just so unforgiving. Several had like insane amounts of enemies. Nevertheless, I liked it, especially level 36. For me, it's all reminiscent of Square Meal.
3,9/5? Again... Are you kidding me JIG'ers? :P
One of Nitrome's best games! 5/5 :D

You'd be correct, though I do have a Maine-based uncle who has a cone-a-day Dairy Queen habit year round. However, considering that my local ice cream shop, Sciarelli's, to whom all other ice cream is but a pale imitation, is only open for the warm months, I stand by my description. :-)

One little thing that bugged me was how the ice cream defaulted its direction down whenever I breathed out the ice. I kept having to redirect myself when I wanted to rapidly break and make ice blocks, which got me killed more than a few times.
Other than that, great game.
I agree with marcmagus, Ice Cream is a year round treat. Well, maybe I'm just saying that because I too live in northeastern U.S. Well, anyway, this game was good, I beat it without TOO much trouble. For an entertaining, Christmas/Winter themed game, I give this a 3.5/5.
Very odd that you Northerners have ice cream year-round. Now, me, I'm in Houston, TX - Yesterday, our high was 73, and today the high hit 54. Tomorrow's going to be in the low sixties, and then we're expecting to be in the high seventies by the weekend. Ice cream is a 365 deal - including the ice cream truck - because that blasted Gulf of Mexico keeps screwing up our weather patterns, so you never know if it's going to hit the 80's in the middle of January and leave your clients desperate for a cold treat. I remember getting Baskin Robbins last Groundhog Day...
Loved this game. The ability to shoot out ice and break it felt like a super power.
I loved trapping enemies in ice enclosures then completing the level, its insanely fun to watch them walk in squares.
Does anyone know how to do level 27? I'm having such a hard time with it.
This game is so reminiscent of all the good old Nitrome classics...Thin Ice, Hot Air, Frost Bite..it was great! The difficulty was just right, some levels needed thinking out but none were frustrating.
Oh, and I really like those grumpy expressions on the ice cream scoops!
@Solatoral-
Have you tried sealing in each monster with a single cube before they break out at the beginning? Do that, break all the other ice cubes and then run around for the fruit. Clearing paths before you collect the fruit helps because you can avoid the monsters pretty easily when they finally do escape and start chasing you. Good luck!
I thought there'd be a cool ending, but alas there was none. Still looking forward to the next proper Nitrome game. The one they hinted at in the blog
Like it! Stuck on level 27, though. How are you supposed to maneuver safely in a very small space with two of those monsters that can shatter ice?
Hello everybody, can someone help on this game bad ice cream I don't know how to finish the level 34 it's too hard to do.
Fun game. The last level was insanely easy though.
i hate it cause when i break the ice it changes direction and i screw up.but overall good game 95/100:D
