    It is sad that online leaderboards were not included as it would have rounded out the experience nicely. Bugs aside, the creativity of the title does shine through.

    With fond memories of 16-bit era arcade shooters, Ice Cream Surfer brings forth a comical plot which is bound to keep some segments of the audience amused for a while. It is its lifespan and rather irregular frame rate which end up tainting the experience, though.

    Bad collisions, frustrating gameplay and a very short lifespan. Ice Cream Surfer does not work.

    Ice Cream Surfer is a reasonably fun little timewaster, and at a time where shoot 'em ups are fewer and further between, some diehard shooter fans might feel like this is worth a punt.

    Ice Cream Surfer tells the story of a maniacal vegetable hell bent on destroying the sugary world of the flying gelato-influenced heroes, but just as fast food and candy treats are light on essential nutrients and likely to do you more harm than good, this is a game that is probably best left on the shelf, with other far more healthy options available to the discerning shooter fan.

    Es un juego excelente para des estresarse. El juego cuentaas con 5 personajes a elegir. La dificultad es media y es posible acabar el juego en una sentada aunque por los 5 personajes y la posibilidad de jugar dos jugadores ala vez lo hace una experiencia altamente re jugable
    Me encato el diseño de los escenarios llenos de enemigos comicos y con mucho movimiento
    No es el juego mas impresionnate que pueda haber definitvamente, pero siendo honestos es una gran experiencia por un muy bajo cosro    … Full Review »
