You are making this in Gamemaker?! Not sure how I glazed over that fact. I am in awe. I mean I know how powerful it is but the way the view is slightly cylindrical makes me think you are some kind of wizard. If you did add some other heads apart from the larger one maybe you could perform combos. Say you had a freeze head then you could use a water one to wet enemies before freezing them. Could be used to take down larger groups of tough enemies or stall a boss etc.
Thank you and thanks for the input! I'm messing around with something analogous to that! Love it! Saw your gifs in the gifs thread and I had to check it out more. Lookin' goooood. :D
Sweet thanks  Aaaand following.
Right on   bugs aside, I added a feature to throw other scoops. You no longer shoot your head, but others. I thought walking around headless was kind of dumb, so I made more scoops.  Where does all that time go? |

Thanks! Okay, so people were having a hard time recognizing my character was an ice cream, so I did some changes and hopefully its more recognizable. You maybe wondering how come he's not a samurai anymore, but don't worry, that guy is still in the game but is now a secret character! Uploaded a new video! Now with new graphics! |

Wow, this game looks pretty cool! I don't think I ever saw an arcadeish action game which uses Mode7 style topdown view. |

Like the new look, although I'll miss the samurai. (also, I assume the stark black outlines are temporary? They clash with the rest of the graphics style a bit imo)

Thank you! Wow, this game looks pretty cool! I don't think I ever saw an arcadeish action game which uses Mode7 style topdown view. Thanks! Yea I wanted to make a topdown game, but was super bummed i didn't get to make a cool scrolling background like in a lot of side scrollers. Like the new look, although I'll miss the samurai. (also, I assume the stark black outlines are temporary? They clash with the rest of the graphics style a bit imo)
Don't worry you will still get to be him, just not right away This looks so fun
Thanks a lot! Well I'm working on putting cliffs in the scene and adding a few new mechanics. I want each color scoop to do something unique as well as throw scoops. Since each scoop has a unique ability, the enemies have to have a little more depth to play off these abilities to make it more fun and challenging. So, I'm re working the enemy ai a bit. Also someone mentioned having the icecreams scoops represent his health instead of the thermometer, so i think ill do that as well. So with all these additions and changes my game looks a bit messy right now. So sorry I don't have anything to show now  |

This looks super cool. I love that pseudo-3D. Nice improvements all around.
The movement looks nicer than it was for sure, more vector-based rather than octo-directional, but now it looks slidy (might actually feel better than it looks though). I dunno if it's something you're planning on fixing so I thought I'd just point it out.
Some directional knockback could make getting hurt/hurting enemies feel cool too.

Thanks, I actually put it back to the ortho/diagonal movement as the vector movement didn't feel right for this particular game. But I did keep the slide and ramp up speed, but toned down. I like the idea of knock back, so ill put it on the list! oh dear

Thanks and gosh, it's me that should be saying whoops  Oh wow, that's cool! Thanks for bringing that to my attention! |

  Alright so I was able to add cliffs to my scene. This meant I had to switch over to rendering it in 3D, instead of surfaces. I couldn't figure out how to add them without doing some for loop inception with surfaces, which would crash the game. So fair well "mode 7" 3D is a different beast, so tried my best to make it look like it did before while trying to balance, seeing enough squares in front of you, keeping the guy in the middle of the screen, having the guy rendered pixel perfect(close), having a log rolling world, keeping the rule of thirds with sky and game. I think the last one suffered the most The cliffs may be hard to read, so I will play around with darkening the tiles or using different tiles to represent them. |

I guess you already thought about giving those different icecreams , different impacts on where they land

Well when you through them, all the scoops do the same thing, but you have a second action while the scoop is still on the head that does something different. So button A will always shoot the scoop, while button B does a different thing depending on what the color of the top scoop is.  So here is my cliff stuff in action. You will notice the guy is frozen, that's because I built this set up in a new gmk file, so I'm in the process of putting the "game" and features from the older files that had "mode 7" into this new one. I needed to organize my stuff anyways... |

Liking the new tree designs and the game colours you're using work really well |
