Reviews for "Get the Cake"
Simply addicting
The simple 8-bit graphics, along with the sound and short musical piece give this game an old-school feel that I think many gamers would find enjoyable. The increase in the amount of obstacles stop this game from becoming too boring too quickly, but alas, after a few rounds it does become repetitive.
Overall: an enjoyable time waster for about five minutes
Simple, skillful, no insides
Was fun though, lots of close calls.
Feels a bit dated but oh well, i enjoyed it for a brief moment of time.
Not bad but lacks replay appeal
The story line is humourous and the interface and gameplay was intuitive and simple.
However the game in its current form lacks replay appeal:
The gameplay gets a little repetitive after a while, with only one kind of enemy, that predictably bounces back and forth, and the goal (i.e. the cake of awesomeness) always too readily obtainable.
Maybe turn this into the game, where the cake is at the far end of a dinning room table, and the character needs to run through a gauntlet of various obstacles and enemies to reach it.
Overall the game made a nice enjoyable way to burn a few minutes.
I wish you luck on future game endeavours. :)
Simple, but fun
I doubt this is going to go mainstream, but I found it enjoyable. By level 7, avoiding the bowling balls is pretty much impossible. I like the idea though: get to the cake!
