Sherbet Shuffle was a quick game I threw together this weekend inspired by the Arcade Paradise mini-game Stack Overflow.
Match all the same flavor ice cream together in two different game modes. Casual mode has no timer, you can reshuffle the puzzle with the new button if you get yourself stuck with no penalty, and it's just there to be a relaxing time. Career mode starts you with 180 seconds, and you gain a few seconds every time you make a match of 4. If you get yourself stuck you can reshuffle the puzzle with a 10 second penalty, so it is recommended that you start with Casual mode until you know how the puzzles work.
Every puzzle is possible, as you have two hands that can each grab a scoop of ice cream, but since these scoops can only be placed on top of the same flavor or an empty cone, you can get yourself stuck if you aren't paying attention, and will need to reshuffle the puzzle. You can figure out some nifty tricks since you can grab two different scoops, and you can maneuver yourself across some sticky situations.
Since I made this one quickly, I tried to make sure no bugs existed, but would love to know if anyone runs into one!
Thank you! I still haven't gotten comfortable with fluid movement games like platformers and shmups, but starting to get more comfortable with these static style games to get a hang of Pico8
