Those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ice cream trucks
I read in another post that the developer planned to nerf this abominations. Well, I don't know if they got around to it or not; but if this is nerfed, just take them out of the game already.

Seriously, this things are fun-killers. They 1 or 2 hit kill you, hound you relentlessly, are faster than almost every other enemy, unpredictable behavior patterns, and can chase you onto tiny walkways. Did Skynet design these things?

I've had way too many good runs ruined just because an ice cream truck was posted up next to the exit elevator and just simply wouldn't let me pass. It has such a huge hitbox it can hit you through the elevator.

Seriously the only part of this game I just genuinely dislike.

Yeah I understand. They would be bearable if their movement was reworked. A method I would do would be to make the trucks should slow down to turn. So a good method to avoid them would be to out maneuver them.:steamhappy:

We never had any plans to nerf the ice cream trucks and it sounds like they're working as intended!

Correction. It was the football player. I don't have problems with him. I had a Toejam with max speed and alright health. Then it chased me into an elevator with it's massive hit box and killed me over and over again. Please, nerf the damn ice cream trucks. Now I'm going to have some cake because I suddenly hate ice cream all of a sudden.

*edit*

I just tried to escape one of these things; ran into one of the narrow walkways; it chased; THEN it jumped OVER me, blocked my path and killed me!

A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

In some positive news: Last level of my last playthrough, the football player missed me and knocked the "dark" ice cream truck off the level. I found the last ship piece and won. Hooray for overcoming adversity!:SmilingGirl:

I read somewhere that the trucks are driven by the bees.

They are extremely irritating and feel really cheap.

NOT THE BEES!!!

If my vote counts & it should since i own the game on STeam & Xbox
I SAY = KEEP THEM!
If anything make a "Soy" difficulty without Ice Cream Trucks & Football players.
~OR~ & here's a idea= Use your presents on them!! Like Boombox or Sleepgas
& tomato em to DEATH..
