Thanks! The Pancake game is pretty rough :( If you listen to its theme, you’ll hear a sort of louder percussive sound, a louder “click”, when you need to flip. For the large pancakes (such as the very first one), you should hear in the theme something like this when it goes on the pan:
click click click click CLICK click click click CLICK
Those louder CLICKs are when you should hit A. It’s evidently not distinguished enough :/ There should be some sort of visual cue anyway.
For the small pancakes, it’s 2 instead of 4:
click click CLICK click CLICK
I’ll put descriptions of how to actually play the games on the wiki page currently just for controls later. And when I have more time, I’ll try to figure out how to make those practice sessions :)
