Robot Wants Ice Cream No Flash

[Idara Viengxay]

RobotsWho understands them? Apparently not kitties, since Robot jettisoned the last one into outer space. Now, Robot has set the cold, clicking mass of circuits that functions as his heart onto a new, tastier, creamier goal. That's right; Robot Wants Ice Cream, and that's an objective I can get behind. Together with Puppy, Robot will brave the dangers of a whole new world in this epic finale of the Robot Wants Series from Mike Hommel (Hamumu Software). It's a platforming adventure with power ups, baddies, missiles, and more!

Controls are the same as before, using the [arrow] keys to move around, and the various power-ups you acquire will tell you how to use them. Some special abilities require you to use special atomic energy to activate them, which can be collected from enemies and stored in batteries. In a nice change of pace, Robot can actually take three hits before being destroyed and respawning at the last encoder station you touched. If you wind up accidentally leaving Puppy behind, or if he falls off the screen, don't worry; the power of Robot's love will make Puppy magically reappear beside him shortly. At least, that's the explanation I came up with. Press [P] at any time to pause the game.

As the last game in a wildly popular series, Robot Wants Ice Cream shows a considerable amount of innovation over its predecessors, introducing all sorts of new things to ensure that you stay entertained for the duration. Not only is there a whole host of new power-ups that grant Robot new abilities and make use of your canine companion, but you'll also face-off against new baddies and bosses. The only real downside is that the enemies rarely feel as challenging as the platforming is. This is definitely the most fleshed out of the Robot games, and it keeps pulling out new things to surprise you the further you go. Robot has come a long way from his humble beginnings, and you couldn't ask for a better end to his adventures than this fun, bouncy, creative adventure. Mind you, I don't entirely agree with Robot's loyalties. Everyone knows that dogs drool and cats rule.

I liked the game, but I'm feeling that this series is starting to wear out its welcome. I'd rather see the developer try something new than another slighlty polished version of what's essentially the same game. I rather did like

Poor robot. Nothing goes well for him. On the other hand, there's hardly any excuse for going after ice cream without first making sure you've got a method of enjoying it. Oh well, at least he can share it with Puppy.

No joy with Safari or Firefox - just the Flixel screen, and then black. On my Linux machine, trying to play this causes all 8 cpus to max out, and still nothing but a black window. Is anyone else having any luck?

I was sorta disappointed by how easy this game was. Once you obtain flight and the banana gun, the rest of the game is just running around collecting upgrades. The first couple games in the series worked really well, since the levels would open up slowly as you found upgrades. The platforming was more challenging too. Still, this game did a good job wrapping up the series.

This was, by far, the most obnoxious game of the series. I absolutely hated it that enemies respawned. It wasn't really even necessary -- even though you got battery level by collecting the little yellow square blobs that enemies left behind when they died, you could still recharge your battery level at the save points.

Anyone else feel like the bombs are the exact opposite of random? How is that supposed to be fun? You can't get to anything without it being bombed the SECOND it appears on screen. Never mind them constantly arriving in the only valid jumping spots that don't involve hitting an enemy. Where, exactly, on the screen are you supposed to exist without getting hit, for even an instant? No human being has reaction time that fast.

I love this franchise so much. Sure, the respawning was terrifically annoying, and also at the end the graphics were degrading and jamming terrifically, but I still loved it. I liked that the "path" through the game wasn't horrendously complicated too. Not my favorite of the bunch (Robot Wants Fishy was A++) but I still was thrilled to see a new one so soon.

I could have done without the respawning, but the polishing in this series is really starting to come through.

I was compelled to finish it on the first go, and I found the experience very enjoyable.

The map on this one is very uninspired, with none of the backtracking and opening-up of the older versions. And the power ups are just ridiculously overpowered, especially the "secret" banana upgrade. I much, much preferred the older Robot Wants games.

If you hold down UP/Z and DOWN at the same time, you can release all of your dive bombs at the same time (requires batteries and the dive bomb upgrade, obviously). Can be somewhat helpful if your being swarmed by nanobots.

While I had a lot of fun with this, and it definitely served as a great farewell for the series, I experienced some major slowdown as the game progressed. Especially after getting the banana gun. By the end boss, I was about 5 fps away from pure slideshow.

What a fun game! I was happy just exploring and blasting bad guys. Took me 154 minutes (over a couple of days) and I have to say I was disappointed when I realized I made it to the final boss and it was over.

[Update your Flash Player, and disable your browser extensions. The game has been tested on the same browser and OS you are using without any issues, so it must be something on your computer causing the problem. -Jay]

Unfortunately that didn't work. Updated Flash Player, no go. Then tried the version for 64-bit OS/browsers (I'm running 64-bit Vista), still no go. The only add-ons I have running are Java consoles. Oh well, game works fine on Kongregate.

[If you or someone with 64-bit Vista would please contact me via email (contact address in the site footer), I'd really like to get to the bottom of why it's not working for you, as I just cannot reproduce the issue (I have 64-bit Windows 7). I need for you to try a couple of test pages for me. Thank you! -Jay]

Also, does anyone know how they created a new game for this series overnight? One day ice cream, then check back and robot wants jig! Sorry if I'm not accurate about when this game was made(I haven't been on this site in a while. Too busy playing Legend Of Zelda ;).

man this game is somehow much funner than the other ones, i guess that's because you have to find lotsa upgrades for the previous games but here the upgrades are scattered like everywhere, i got the double jump in like 3 minutes and finished the game under 30 minutes !

Hmm. I have recently moved to a new 64 bit Windows 7 wireless computer with Firefox 4.0.1. I have just tried to play all of the Robot Wants [insert noun here] games, and Robot Wants Kitty, Robot Wants Puppy, and Robot Wants Fishy worked fine. However, when I tried to play Robot Wants Ice Cream, the Adobe Flash plug-in crashed every time. When I tried it using Kongregate, I just got a gray screen. On Robot Wants JIG, when I clicked the banner, for two seconds nothing would happen, then the banner turned white for a moment and then back to the click to play screen.

Sorry for the double post, but I have found the reason for the problem, but not the solution. The reason for the black screen on Kongregate was because of Adobe Flash crashing, just like when I tried to use the link in the review. I found this out after 27 hours of waiting. So all I need to do is see if I can fix Adobe Flash.

Hmm. I don't agree with Robot's priorities either. I probably liked this one least. The beauty of Metroidvania games, to me, is that each new powerup gives you a way to reach new areas. Only about three of them did that in this game, and they were all the same (jump upgrade or flight upgrade). Also, the game was seriously chuggy, and I'm on Windows 7 with latest Chrome.

Each game involves the robot utilizing various (and sometimes ridiculous) abilities and tools to access new parts of the environment, while also using an animal (including a cat and dog) to help in their adventure. All of the games also feature massive bosses, plenty of secrets and challenges for speedrunners. Due to the series' nature and scope, the games aren't nearly as long as other Hamumu games (or Metroidvania games in general). Nonetheless, the series is often considered a worthy addition to the Hamumu game roster, especially as part of the Hamumu Clubhouse revamp.

There are four original Flash games in the series: Robot Wants Kitty (which later had an expanded version released for iOS), in which Robot, in an unnamed facility, goes to look for Kitty, braving obstacles and enemies while getting powerups to do so. Robot Wants Puppy, where Robot travels to an unknown space facility to get a second friend in Puppy, who is being held at the facility. Robot Wants Fishy, where Robot travels to the dangerous mining facility of Regulus IX to find the last friendly lifeform, Fishy. Robot Wants Ice Cream, the Series Fauxnale. Robot travels to Happy Ice Cream Planet to get some delicious treats, only to find the planet under attack by a fleet of robots led by Tom Stone, a square stone being who wants all the ice cream for himself.
