The Bad Ice-Cream series is made up of Bad Ice-Cream and its sequels, Bad Ice-Cream 2 and Bad Ice Cream 3. They are all official winter games.

The games consist of the player controlling an ice cream character that tries to eat all the fruit in each of the levels. The ice cream characters all have the ability to fire ice blocks and the ability to break rows and columns of adjacent ice blocks. These skills can be used to defend the ice cream characters from enemies. Each of the games is also multiplayer.

Bad Ice-Cream 2 is the second game of the series and was released on December 21st 2012, becoming Nitrome's second winter game of the year. The game became available for both iOS and Android versions in January 2013 and became able to be played by up to four players simultaneously. Four player multiplayer was postponed due to the rush Nitrome made to release Bad Ice-Cream 2 before their Christmas vacation. The game introduced many new hazards and enemies as well as three new flavors: sorbet, mint-choc-chip, and bubble gum.
