Very fun and unusual game! Really well made)
This was really cool! I like the art style, and the game mechanic here was really satisfying!
I had fun! Wish the camera rotation was a bit slower/less sensitive. I like the color palette you used. Nice job! :)
Super cool style for a well made small game, i still feel the player is a bit too slow but maybe I am just bad at collecting pancakes. And now I'm hungry, damn.
Honestly, it's super satisfying to collect such a huge pile of panckake, great work on the perspective and I feel like I have to think about how to turn the camera all the time and thats great! + quality pixel art, big gg
Super unique visual style and tone! Cute pixelated chef meets unfathomable eldritch horrors, what's not to like? The gameplay loop recalls the golden age of flash games, and the risk/reward tradeoff of either hoarding or launching pancakes made for an exciting and dynamic experience. At one point, my greed cost me a particularly big stack, and I audibly shouted, "NOOOOOO!" That level of player investment is a good sign that you've made something special. Thanks for a great experience- I hope your game gets lots of traffic!
Fantastic visual style. The controls just didn't click with me. The right click camera rotation felt completely off. I could not get past the first level.
I like the idea of using the pancakes both as a resource to progress, as well as a projectile to defend against enemies. It did seem a bit too harsh that you lose all pancakes when taking a hit.
Very cool game anyway!
I love the creativity and absurdity on display here! Collecting the pancakes is satisfying and there's a nice progression structure. I do think it is too punishing as getting hit once drops all pancakes.
