It's a mouthful.
This game was made for the 1 year anniversary of Café Dot, an art server that simulates a social media feed. The theme for the game jam was "Celebration."
Climb ladders and jump on trampolines to collect ingredients to bake a cake, and then stack the layers on the plate at the start by stepping on them and making them fall to the bottom conveyor belt.
How to Play
- WASD/Arrow keys = Move/Select
- Space/Enter = Confirm
- Esc/P = Pause
- Back = Exit
Known bugs
- Enemies can sometimes get stuck in the floor
- Segments of cake can get separated from each other visually and create a small gap
- Twinkling lights become out of sync as the camera moves
Changelog
v1.1
- Increased i-frames from 0.5 seconds to 1 second
- Ingredients no longer spawn behind ladders
- Increased the volume of sound effects that were too quiet
- Added a sound effect for collecting ingredients
- Fixed a bug where characters would get stuck to the ceiling after jumping on a trampoline a 2nd time in a row, and the player would be unable to move
- Fixed a bug where the player could take damage while falling downwards in mid-air. They should always be invulnerable to damage while jumping
- Fixed a bug where sometimes the player is pushed down a little while climbing ladders, as if gravity is being reenabled for them slightly
- Fixed a bug where characters could climb off ladders sideways into platforms and get stuck in them, or allow the player to fall though the wall at either edge of the scene
- Fixed a bug where enemies wouldn't turn around after hitting the wall at either edge of the scene
- Fixed a bug where the player could stick to the sides of platforms while falling down and stay there until releasing the left or right keys
- Fixed a bug where characters wouldn't always face the right direction
- Fixed a bug where clicking out of the game during the game over screen paused the game, and couldn't be unpaused
- Fixed a bug where the sound effect for stepping on cake can be spammed instead of playing only once when that segment was stepped on
- Added Mocha and Latte

A clever take on the old arcade game "Mappy". Darn it... now I want cake.
ist sooo funnyyy
Cute little arcade game you got here! Feels very much like a fusion of Mappyland and Burger Time, and as a fan of both, I was excited to play!
While there is certainly a lot to enjoy about this game, such as the cute presentation with great character animations for falling, as well as the peppy music, I didn't find myself playing for that long. I think this is because the game is crucially lacking juice/pizazz which is so critical for arcade games like this to function: without any points popping up, some fanfare for finishing a cake, or the level changing up as you progress, I just felt so unmotivated.
In terms of other feedback, it was super unsatisfying as well that you couldn't get anything substantial for hitting an enemy with a falling cake: all they do is freeze for a few seconds...whoo-hoo. I also feel a bit bad for anyone playing this that doesn't know about Burger Time: without any sort of demonstration or tutorial, having to flatten down the cake slices can be very unintuitive.
In its current state, it's pretty impressive as a prototype and a foundation to work from, but as a complete game, I'd say it still needs more time in the oven. Not too shabby for a jam game though!
yes I died,
the only reason it didn't get a zero was because it looked like it worked, it was just too boring and ugly to try
