Sell ice cream fast! “Gelato King” (misspelling of Gellato) ia a tycoon style game that a player should sell ice creams accurately and fast to satisfy customers’ requests.
Launch “Gelato King” in a new window.
Goal:
Each round has a goal and a time limit.
A user should sell ice creams up to the goal(initial goal: $30) within the time limit.
Otherwise, the game will be terminated.
User Action:
Use only keyboard – space bar and arrow keys
Start game by pushing “space bar”, ask questions to customers by “space bar” and select their choices by “arrow keys” then “space bar”
Level Design:
The names of the flavors are displayed only for the first three customers of the first two rounds.
Round 1 to Round 5: time limit decreases by 30 seconds each round (from 3 minutes to 1 minute.)
Round 6 to Round 10: time limit is steady (1 minute), but the goal increases by $3.00 each round (from $33 to $45.)
Penalty:
If a user selects a wrong size or flavor of the the ordered ice cream, the time decreases by 10 seconds.
Balance between luck and skill:
The customer orders the size and flavor randomly.
If the customer orders bigger size, it is easier and faster to earn the bigger money.
