Birds + cupcakes = Birdcakes!!!
Step into a world of state-of-the-art cupcake-and-bird weaponry! After a picnic went horribly wrong, Pancake the Cupcake desperately tries to fend off hungry flies away from his girlfriend Cherry! Featuring colorful 2D art; tight shooting controls; and fluid aerial movement mechanics; you’ll be set for a wacky, zero-calorie romp through the kitchen and beyond.
Fly through 6 fly-infested worlds and destroy them with Pancake’s powerful candy bullets. This will be no walk in the park however! Die once, and it’s all the way back to the beginning; so make sure to buy power-ups from the bakery store and get ready to save the (cupcake) world!
