You play the role of an ice cream truck driver, traveling across the galaxy defending planets from robotic invaders. To achieve this goal, you'll need to employ a variety of tasty weaponized ice cream treats, that you'll launch at the robots. And, as we all know, since robots love ice cream, when they get enough they explode with joy! Robots Love Ice Cream is heavily influenced by vinyl toys, the character stylings of Mega Man, and some of the first games I ever played like Missile Command and Space Invaders. The game has a unique control mechanic whereby the player manipulates the world much like a DJ spins a record. This gives you, the player, control of the action, bringing it to you whenever you want!
Here are some basic robot concepts. The idea we're going for is to have a form factor for the robots that the player can identify as belonging to a group. Different levels will have different groups with different characteristics. Some of the designs for the more simpler robots will be repeated as basic adversaries in each level.
Good design basis. They have a very Megaman feel to them.
The bottom two look like they're from Megaman Legends.
