🎮 Core Gameplay Rules

1. Game Modes: You can play Solo or 2-Player Co-op/Competitive. In Solo, it's just you against the maze. In 2-Player mode, both of you run around the same maze collecting fruit. Whoever collects the most fruit by the end of the level gets the highest score and wins! You can even be sneaky and use your ice blocks to trap your friend and steal their fruit. 2. Levels & Fruit Spawning: You must beat the current level to unlock the next. Your goal is to collect all the fruit before the timer hits zero. Fruit spawns in waves—first you might need to collect all the bananas, and once the last banana is eaten, the kiwis will instantly spawn. Some fruits even move around the map! You have to clear every single wave of fruit to pass the level. 3. Ice Magic Mechanics: Your ice cream has a superpower! Press the action button while facing an empty space to shoot out a solid line of ice blocks to trap enemies. Press it again while facing an ice block to instantly shatter the entire line of ice, opening up a new path. 4. Enemies & Hazards: Every level is guarded by strange, wandering monsters. Touching them results in instant death, forcing you to restart the level. As you progress, you'll face monsters that can roll, breathe fire, or track your movements. You can only survive by running or walling them off with ice. 5. Win/Loss Conditions: You lose if the timer runs out before you get all the fruit, or if you touch a monster. You win by successfully eating every single wave of fruit on the map before the clock runs out!

Can I mess with my friend in 2-Player mode?

Absolutely! 2-Player mode is all about competing for the highest score. You can build ice walls to block your friend from getting the fruit, or even worse, trap them in a corner with a monster! It makes the game incredibly chaotic and fun.

The monsters keep catching me! Any tips?

Monsters might be scary, but they follow patterns: 1. Use the map: Run in wide circles in open areas to bait them to one side, then quickly dash to the other side to eat the fruit. 2. Panic Walls: If a monster is right on your tail, spin around and mash the Ice button to instantly build a wall in their face. This buys you precious seconds to escape. 3. Observe: Different colored monsters act differently. Some walk blindly, some charge in straight lines, and some actively hunt you. Learn their patterns!

Do the different Ice Cream flavors have different powers?

Nope! Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry all play exactly the same. The choice is purely cosmetic, so just pick your favorite flavor and get to running!

How many levels are there?

There are 40 carefully crafted levels! The difficulty scales perfectly—starting with easy, open mazes and ending with incredibly complex layouts stuffed with aggressive monsters. Beating all 40 levels is a true badge of honor.

What's the biggest difference between playing Solo and 2-Player?

Solo mode plays like a tense puzzle-action game where you have to carefully plan your routes and bait enemies. 2-Player mode turns into a hilarious party game where you are constantly screaming at your friend for stealing your fruit or walling you in with a monster. Highly recommended with a friend!
