Ice Cream Craze: Tycoon Takeover

Let’s discuss the sequel to Ice Cream Craze by GameFool. In the Tycoon Takeover you should help Anna grow her business from an old ice cream truck into a force to challenge the well-established ice cream tycoon BigCo. You do that by having over $5000 in the bank and significant business presence in all 9 locations in town.

This time management game offers you to serve people at the ice cream truck. Customers request cones, cookie sandwiches and brownie sandwiches with different flavors of ice cream, so don’t mix up the orders or don’t make them wait, cause they can loose patience and go away. Starting with 3 flavors of ice-cream and 3 toppings, you will face with lots of products. The difficulty of each level depends on which part of town you are in and what you are playing for.

The gameplay is separated by days, and what you decide to do each day has a huge impact on how successful your ice cream business will be. So this game is not only of time management genre, but also a strategic one. As for upgrades, you get them for a good play in specific levels, and there is no need to buy them as other similar games suggest.

The graphics is polished, not animated, but still it’s beautiful. Music is frustrating frankly to speak. And one more thing that may annoy – Anna moves too slowly, the wish to say “hurry up!” is really enormous. In general it is rather nice game, not a hit, but the fans of such genre will like it without doubt.
