Blanco Bear — the site's white bear with the purple nose who only speaks Spanish — flies an ice-cream helicopter up a burning jungle river to take the Golden Banana off a god, because he wants to make the greatest ice cream sandwich in the world. It opens with a full cinematic title sequence, then five acts of Cave-style bullet hell: EL RÍO, EL DOSEL, NAPALM, EL TEMPLO and LA MONTAÑA DEL REY, with a boss at the end of each and the Monkey King himself waiting in gold. The catch is HELADO: instead of a bomb that deletes the screen, Blanco freezes it — every enemy bullet becomes a sprinkle you can fly through and eat, every enemy becomes a statue taking double damage, and the whole act holds its breath for three seconds. Golden bananas stack a SUNDAE multiplier up to x8 that melts if you stop collecting. Blanco narrates the whole war in Spanish with English subtitles. ~15 minutes, three lives, three continues.
