Ice Cream Overlord: Very alpha

You play the role of an Ice Cream that wanders around space in his ship in a mission to rescue his kind from extinction.

Gameplay:

Simple but tricky 2D platformer, you can stick to walls by pressing against them and do wall jumps, be careful since it's easy to slide or lose control.
Fire cones to push the enemy into lava pits or water, be careful not to dissolve on any liquid.
Go around the level looking for your fellas and when you get them all get back to the ship. Try to beat the par times on each level (some levels are locked)

Playing tips:

The mechanics have quite a steep learning curve and since we didn't have time to make levels to make the player feel a smooth transition it turned out out very user unfriendly :P

1. Jump and stick to a wall by holding the movement key against it (A or D) and while still pressing tap W to do a clean wall jump. Also If you're falling it'll be harder to stick.
2. Try not to gain too much velocity while on air, the cream is not very heavy and will easily lose control.
3. Fire at enemies from behind to push them with more force, giving you a better chance to throw them off a platform.
4. Don't try to rush on a level until you're very used to the player mechanics.
5. In general when moving try to tap the keys to gradually have control instead of pressing them down. If you manage to have control over the player mechanics it'll get a lot easier and entertaining (at least it was for us).
6. Take it easy :D
