"Gelato Animals" is a low-resolution ice cream making simulation game made in ~9 days for the 6th Nokia 3310 jam.
Assemble ice cream according to the customers' preferences and earn a perfect score!

The inputs are mapped in the same configuration as the Nokia 3310, you have 2 options:

Numpad:              WASD:                Nokia:

7 8 9                     1 2 3                    1 2 3
4 5 6                     Q W E                 4 5 6
1 2 3                     A S D                   7 8 9
→ 0 .                     Z X C                   * 0 #

The game is played by reading what the customer wants, then assembling the ice cream. After assembling the ice cream you need to figure out how much to charge for the ice cream in the ingredients index and input the total amount in the register. When you feel confident you've got the ingredients and pricing right, you can serve up the ice cream in the serve view. You will get a rating for the order and a new customer will appear. Keep going until all customers have been served!

Edit: The controls seem to be a bit confusing to many players so I'll add here that all of the number prompts in the game refer to the Nokia keypad. If you're using the numpad it might be even more confusing since the numpad keys are flipped as opposed to the Nokia keypad.

Edit 2: The input on the assemble view for scrapping the ice cream is labeled '2' which is correct for the numpad, but should in fact be the '8' key on the Nokia keypad.
