Drive the Ice Cream Truck and sell treats to the children while avoiding the ever Enraged Rocket House.
Made for the TIGSource Video Game Name Generator Competition

How to play
-----------------------------------------------------
WASD - drive truck
SPACE - open 'sell' menu when in range your truck must be slowed down as well)
1-9  - match sale option
0 - sold out
RIGHT - play music
ESC - pause / restart / exit

When in range of a child (indicated by the white circle underneath them) and slowed to a safe speed, press SPACE to open the sell menu. You must match their order by pressing the corresponding number key 0-9 with the icon over their head. The quicker you do this, the larger the bonus you receive per sale.

Every sale you complete infuriates the Rocket House, represented by the red Rage bar in the upper left corner. Pressing RIGHT turns on your truck's music, luring the kids in from longer distances while sending the Rocket House into a murderous rage spiral. The more enraged he gets, the more damage he will inflict when he catches you (green bar). However, you will also receive additional points equal to the level of rage the Rocket House is exibiting at the time of a sale, so sometimes it's worth the added risk.

The force of the Rocket House's ferocious bite will send items from your truck flying through the air. Make sure you pick up the dropped goods before a kid snags a free cone from you.

Keep an eye on your inventory. If you run out of a particular treat, press 0 to cancel and send the kid crying home to mommy.

Have fun and thanks for playing!
