HOW TO PLAY

===================================================================

How to Make an Ice Cream

------------------------

1. In the cloud above the customer you see what ice cream is ordered.

2. Begin to make the ice cream by choosing cone, cup or plate,

and it will be added to the conveyer.

3. Pick up one ice cream ball of the desired flavor from the ice cream box.

4. Click on the cup, cone or plate on the conveyer to add the

ice cream ball to it.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add several ice cream balls. The order in

which you add the ice cream balls doesn’t matter.

5. If the customer has ordered an ice cream with a topping, click on

the desired topping on the desk and Anna will pick it up.

6. Click on the ice cream to add the topping.

When the ice cream is ready just wait for Mikey to add the ice cream

to the tray.

Tip!

Make sure you serve your customers quickly - you will earn a lot more!

When an ice cream on the conveyer is ready, you can press the button

with an arrow, and the conveyer will temporarily speed up.

How to Serve the Customers

--------------------------

1. Click on the tray with one or more ice creams and Molly will

pick it up.

2. Click on the customers’ tables to serve the ice creams to

the customers.

Tip!

If you serve several customers at the same table at the same time

you will get additional tips!

How to Entertain the Customers

------------------------------

If a customer's mood seems low you can make them happier by letting

Molly entertain them with many different tricks taught at the circus!

They will then wait a bit longer for the ice cream to be served,

and this can be a great help for you if you have many customers to

serve and a lot to do!

Napkins

-------

If a customer is in need of a napkin, you’d better bring one or

the customer will stay and occupy a chair! Napkins are unlimited.

Fruits

------

When Molly seems slow and tired you can throw her a fruit.

Cookies and Lemonade

--------------------

If a customer's mood seems low, you can let Molly bring him or her

some lemonade or a cookie, bought at the store. The customer will

then become happier and wait a bit longer to be served.

Golden Ice Cream

----------------

Make sure to pick up the golden ice creams that appears on the

conveyer. If you collect five of them you will be greatly rewarded!

Golden Star

-----------

If you are doing well you will be awarded a golden star that

increases the star rating of your ice cream bar!

General Info

------------

* Mikey and Molly (the two monkeys) assist you in the ice cream bar

and they have been thoroughly trained at a circus to make a great

job. They really love helping you out - but the customers love them

even more! :)

* You can build up a long queue of tasks for Anna, and she will do

them in the same order as you have requested. That goes for Molly too.

* The cone and plate can have several scoops of ice cream, but it

doesn't matter which order you add them.

* You can buy different fruits in the store and give them to Molly

when she is tired and moves slowly.

* When Mikey gets an ice cream that no customer has ordered he will

either throw it in the garbage or choose to eat it up if he feels

hungry.

* You can click on the feed button on the left side of the conveyer

to temporarily speed up the conveyer.

* You can see how many scoops of ice creams that are currently left

in the ice cream box, by the three small symbols in the top of the

box. But it's only shown when there are 3 or fewer scoops left.

* You can right click on the ice cream box to pick it up and refill

it in the ice cream machine. You can refill it even if it’s not

completely empty. Preferably you refill it in advance when you get

a calmer period.

* When a group of 2, 3 or 4 customers comes to the same table at

the same time they are coming as a customer group, and then they

will also leave at the same time.

Customers Patience

------------------

* The darker a customer's cloud is the less patience the customer

has left.

* The cloths and flowers do not only make your ice cream bar look

a lot nicer, they also affect the customers' mood.

* You can buy cookies and lemonades in the store to serve the

customers to make them happier.

* You can only serve one cookie or one glass of lemonade at the

same time.

* If there are several customers at the same table the one with the

least patience left will get the cookie or lemonade.

* You can only serve a certain amount of cookies and lemonade to

each customer, and then they will not accept any more. If they

accept the treat the customers' cloud will flash.

* By entertaining your customers with juggling, music and dance,

you will make all the customers in your ice cream bar happier.

* The customers have different personalities. Most important is

their patience which differ a lot, the business man and sporty girl

having much less patience than the old man and woman. The time it

takes for them to order and eat is different too, and they respond

differently when you give treats and entertain them.

Saving Some Clicks :)

---------------------

* You don't need to click on the table to put down the jar with

topping (with (cherries, chocolate sauce or sprinkles) after you

have used it, as Anna will automatically do that when you give her

a new task. But sometimes it can save you some time though.

* You don't need to click on the garbage station to let Molly

throw the dish she is holding, she will do it automatically when

she's got a new task to do.

* You only need to click once at a table when there are dish and

trash from several customers, to pick it all up.

Tips & Tricks

===================================================================

General Tips

------------

* When an ice cream on the conveyer is ready, you can press the

conveyer feed button and the conveyer will temporarily speed up.

* If you pick up five golden ice creams you will be greatly awarded.

* There are a lot of different trophies that you can get from the

Uncle. Make sure to listen to his tips when you get one, because

then you will know better how to get the silver and gold trophies!

* Throw Molly a fruit now and then to keep her working fast, and

not only when she is tired and slow. This makes a huge difference.

* When you have taught Molly different tricks at the circus, make

sure to use these tricks now and then to keep all your customers happy.

Make More Money

---------------

* You will earn a lot more by getting extra tips if you serve your

customers quickly.

* If your deliver an order very fast, the customer will much likely

make a second order.

* You will earn a little more when serving a customer that has made

a second order, they have yellow glows surrounding their clouds.

* It's optional to decorate the ice creams with small umbrellas,

cocktail sticks etc., but if you do you will get a lot more tips.

* If you serve several customers at the same table at the same time

you will get additional tips.

* Make sure to give napkins to customers who request that, or else

they will not leave until you do. If you quickly give napkins you

will be able to serve many more customers during the day.

* No customer wants to sit at a table if there is dish or trash, so

make sure to clean the tables from dishes and trash as soon as

possible, as this will ensure that you will be able to serve many

more customers during the day.

* All customers in a customer group will wait until all customers

have been served and finished eating before they leave. It's

therefore important to serve all the customers in a customer’s

group, or else these customers will just sit and wait and occupy

the chair, and you will not be able to serve as many customers as

you else would have.

* Handling Inpatient Customers In a critical situation when you think

a customer will leave at any time, you can let Molly play a tune on

the barrel organ (if you own one of course), as this will immediately

make the customer happy.

* For most customers the cookies and lemonade can be served several

times if needed to make them happier, but playing on the barrel

organ or juggling will only affect the customers once.

* The sporty girl do not like cookies at all, serving lemonade is a

much better idea.

Game Options

------------

* It's easier to get all the clicks right when playing in full

screen, especially avoiding clicking outside the screen when trying

to click on the feed button for the conveyer. You change this

setting in the Options dialog.

* It's a much nicer feeling to play with the custom cursors. You

change this setting in the Options dialog.

===================================================================

Tips & Tricks for advanced players

===================================================================

Saving Time

-----------

* If there are a customer who request a napkin and there are

dish/trash on a table, click on the napkin first and then on the

table, and not the other way around.

* When Anna is holding a jar with topping you can for example add a

cherry on several ice creams at once, by chaining the tasks.

* Planning When you have several orders to serve, and you have the

necessary scoops of ice cream for these orders, you can start

bringing the cups, cones and plates which is ordered. Then you add

the scoops of ice cream, and last you add the toppings.

* If there are for example one customer who order an ice cream with

2 scoops of strawberry ice cream, and one customer who order an

ice cream with 3 scoops of strawberry ice cream, and there are only

2 scoops left of strawberry ice cream in the ice cream box, you

should first create the ice cream which requires only 2 scoops of

strawberry ice cream.

* Often it’s possible to serve all the ice creams to one table at

the same time, but sometimes there is simply not enough time and

you have to make one or a few ice creams at once and use the

conveyer feed button as soon as the ice cream is ready.

Do Several Things at the Same Time

----------------------------------

* While waiting on the ice cream machine to refill the ice cream

box, you can do other things at the same time.

* At the same time you are giving tasks to Anna you can let Molly

serving cookies and other things to the customer, clean the tables

from dishes and entertain your customers. You save a lot of time by

doing several things at the same time.
