The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level. While some players appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, they find the pricing steep and feel that the frequency of ads detracts significantly from the overall enjoyment of the game. A few users noted that turning off data or using airplane mode can help mitigate the ad interruptions, but the general consensus is that the ad load is excessive and negatively impacts the gaming experience.
βIt's very good there's no ads after the levels, and it's great because other games have ads after every level, but this one doesn't.β
βIf I had one thing to not complain about, it is that there are no ads.β
βThis game helps with anxiety, stress, and a lot more. You should definitely get it; no ads, I have nothing but good things to say about it.β
βI'm spending more time watching ads than I am actually playing the game.β
βThe ads after every game are so annoying, then they want to charge you $7.99 per week to remove ads.β
βThe amount of ads in this game makes 'extremely excessive' seem like an understatement.β

βThe game is easy to play, has good graphics, and no glitches.β
βI love this game because it's so awesome and there's no glitches at all. It's fun and easy to use, perfect for when you're bored, like during a car ride. Just remember to have Wi-Fi!β
βI rate this game a 5 because I like it and I don't have any problems with blackouts. I just reset it and it works perfectly with no glitches. I love this game; it's the greatest game ever.β
βGood game, but it's slow and it freezes up all the time.β
βWhen I watch an ad to decorate the ice cream, it glitches horribly and the app always crashes any time an ad comes.β
βThis is the worst game I have ever downloaded. It glitches out, does not work properly, and has no sound. Until this is fixed, this is the worst game that has ever been made.β

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising their quality and aesthetic appeal, describing them as "great" and "satisfying." However, several users report issues with glitches and the need for improvements, indicating that while the visuals are generally good, they could benefit from further refinement. Additionally, the presence of ads is frequently mentioned as a detractor from the overall experience.
βThe graphics are so good; it's so satisfying. I love it so much, I never experienced anything like it. There should be more games like this one.β
βThis game has great graphics and little ads.β
βThe graphics are epic (love 3D games); it's also pretty satisfying and it improves child eye contact with creativity.β
βHowever, I think the graphics need a bit more work, but other than that, great game. Keep up the good work.β
βI downloaded most of your games because they usually pass the time well, but this one is really bad with the graphics. I would give 0 stars if it let me. It's a very glitchy mess that makes my phone freeze, and I have to turn it off just to get it to unfreeze.β
βThis game is really bad. As soon as I opened it, there were glitches and the graphics were terrible.β

The reviews consistently highlight a lack of music and sound in the game, with many players expressing a desire for background music to enhance the experience. While some find the gameplay enjoyable, the absence of audio elements contributes to a sense of boredom and dissatisfaction. Overall, players feel that adding music would significantly improve the game's appeal.
βI wish it had a little cheery music, but other than that, it's a good game.β
βWell, the thing is that it needs some improvements, like making it more realistic and giving it some sounds or music; that will make it more enjoyable.β
βShame, I like the game a lot, but I had to take it out. No sound or music would have been perfect; it's so cute and bright. Please fix the sound.β
βThere's no sound or music, it's too easy to get 3 stars but literally impossible to get 100% (get about 95-97% no matter what unless I purposefully mess up), and every 3 plays (finished cones or refreshes) it plays an ad.β
βThere is also no music or anything else to keep our attention besides the ice cream.β
βIt's a very nice game but there should be some background music; it's not fun without music, just silent mode, so please fix this and put a tune or music.β

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it amusing and entertaining, particularly due to the quirky animations and exaggerated reactions, such as the thumbs-up for poorly made ice cream. However, the frequent ads detract from the experience, with many users suggesting that removing them would enhance the game's comedic value. Overall, while the game is considered funny, technical issues and ad interruptions are common complaints.
βI am a 10 year old and I downloaded it by seeing an ad in the middle of the night π don't laugh even though I'm laughing.β
βThis game is so bad it's funny. Every time you finish making the ice cream, they just do a default thumbs up animation and a bunch of little coins fly around like they are giving you the money even if you make their ice cream completely wrong. :thumbs up: with no expression, perfect ice cream?β
βPlease give me some more money π°π€ hahaha you can get a small good job π I'm so super super sorry π but it was kinda crazy and funny π not even going to lie about the joke about the money and job job joke.β

The gameplay is described as simple and occasionally interesting, with some users finding it addictive and customizable.

βDeliciously addictive gameplay, cool graphics, and plenty of customization options make Ice Cream Inc. a standout.β
βIts graphics and gameplay are simple, yet interesting.β
βWhen you finally get through the hundreds of ads to play the first level, you'll realize that there is literally no gameplay.β
βFun, but when you are online sometimes you get like 3 or 4 ads in a row. I understand that is the money maker, but they need to chill with the ads. It needs graphics updates and gameplay lags all the time. I do not suggest it though; very boring.β
βI deleted it right away because of all the bad gameplay.β
