Ice Cream Craze: Thurs Tycoon Takeover Ice Cream Craze Tycoon Takeover is the result of the original Ice Cream Craze that made time management games cool (heh). Help Anna grow his business from an old ice cream truck into a force to challenge the well-established ice cream tycoon BigCo.
In the original Ice Cream Craze, you helped a teenager in the 1950 January run shop called her parents to ice cream. Now it's 2 years later, and you discover that his shop had run out of business by a company called Giant BigCo. You can now play the role of Anna, granddaughter of January Anna believes she can compete against BigCo, and begins serving ice cream from an old ice cream truck. Granny Jan is also there to give advice on the road.
The overall goal of the game is to grow the business big enough to challenge Anna BigCo. You do that by having more than $ 5,000 in the bank and a strong presence in all busines 9 sites in the city. How do you go about that is what makes the game differs from other games time management and presents a whole new perspective.
The main part of Ice Cream Craze Tycoon Takeover is the real meaning of ice cream to customers in ice cream truck. It starts easy enough at first, with only the cones, three flavors of ice cream and three toppings of your choice. But depending on the difficulty of each level, you could end up having to juggle with cones, brownies and pies and all kinds of flavors and toppings.
The difficulty of each level depends on the part of the city you are and what you play for. And that is where the game differs from other games time management. In other games, you get to buy upgrades between the two games. In this game, however, the improvements are rewards in achieving specific levels. So you need to decide if you want to play for an espresso machine that gives you temporary speed increases, or a tray of cupcakes that keeps your customers happy longer.
Gambling is not only a linear series of levels as well. The gameplay is separated by days, and what you decide to do every day has a huge impact on the success of your ice cream business will be. Day 9 Wiill you go to try to win the espresso machine? Or should we instead try to set up a new stall at the circus to earn income side continuing all day? Setting up new stalls could be a good idea, but if you're not going to improve performance, you may find some of the most advanced levels a bit difficult to manage.
It is this overall strategy that gives the game much of its appeal and keep you coming back for more even after you finish the game you play as a businessman and quickly establish bases throughout the city? Or do you increase efficiency in your ice cream and make lots of money every day?
The look and feel of the game is not bad either. There are no movies or animations flashy cool, but the graphics in the game are nice and certainly capture the atmosphere of an ice cream business. However, one thing that bothers me is abnormally large eyes that the characters have. They just slip out ...
Ice Cream Craze 2 is a great game to try, not only because it contains a very good time management, but also rotates around a very fun and delicious business. In addition, the overall strategic framework and business decisions you have to do in this game give it a unique feeling that is different from other time management games out there.
