Ice Cream Wars

About

You play as a scrappy duo in a rusty van fighting to crack Rippleton’s ice cream delivery scene. The town’s been locked down by Gelatoni’s crew, who block roads, dump rival stock, and generally make life miserable for anyone not in their gelato chain. Your mission is simple: outdrive their goons, hit delivery windows, and build your reputation street by street. The controls are tight, the traffic is chaotic, and every level piles on new wrinkles like ice patches, moving obstacles, and time trials that force you to choose between speed and caution. The game leans into its absurd premise with glee, turning corporate rivalry into a neon-soaked street battle. While there’s no community data to highlight yet, the August release date slots it into a summer of quirky indies, and Ant Workshop’s track record with offbeat concepts (see: Golf With Your Dog) suggests they know how to balance humor with polish. PC and Switch players get a brisk, bite-sized challenge that’s easy to pick up but tricky to master.

Storyline

For too long Gelatoni's had the run of this town. With his monopoly over ice cream delivery enforced by thugs in souped-up trucks, and generous bribes making sure the law turns a blind eye, he's been able to force the innocent hard-working people of Rippleton to pay over the odds for their gelato fix for decades. Well no more, it's high time someone stood up to this injustice! Your buddy has borrowed money from an unsavoury character and bought a battered old van, and the pair of you are going to take the fight to the streets and show these punks there are new kids in town and you're hungry for success. And look, if you happen to make yourselves a load of lovely cash in the process, well that's just win/win isn't it?
