I love the goofy premise of making pancakes so good that their crack and the police running you down for it. The gameplay is great, I love how crazy everything is; the cops just straight up pummeling into you and how you need to narrowly dodge them (the controls are quite floaty but it adds to the crazy, goofy vibe). I also love the art and how you throw the pancakes at the customers.

I love the concept of cooking food while you're driving around and trying to navigate to the next customer while evading the cops. It's a bit like Overcooked on wheels.

I really appreciated the chaotic and funny vibe. Kudos to the artist lovingly drawing the protagonist's ass in almost every frame of animation.\n\nBut as for gameplay, I have complaints, because I think the game as a whole could've been so much more with just a little bit of polish. First, the majority of my play time was spent looking for the next customer, so a little direction indicator would be neat. Second, some sort of obstacles on the roads would be nice. It would complement the whole pancake-making gameplay really well, as right now there is almost no challenge in making them (as there's nothing to hit), and when there is a challenge (the cops) it feels more like a random game over than an avoidable obstacle.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":982786,"author_name":"kanity","author_uid":"kanity","epoch":1684495273,"text":"Took me a minute to get the hang of the controls and how to deliver pancakes, the movement is not easy ^^' The art is cute and I really like all these adorable little sounds :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":982823,"author_name":"jandourek","author_uid":"jandourek","epoch":1684500666,"text":"Very cute!
