More about this game
Build a massive cake by dropping sliding layers onto a growing stack. The primary goal is to reach exactly 20 layers or survive until the 60-second timer runs out. Each time you drop a layer, any overhanging cake gets sliced off, making your next target much smaller and harder to hit. As your tower grows taller, the layers slide back and forth much faster. A run ends in sweet victory if you hit the height or time goal, or in defeat if you miss the stack entirely.
Tips
- Aim for a perfect drop within the 20-pixel center perfect zone to build your combo multiplier and earn a large amount of extra points.
- The horizontal sliding speed increases by 16 units with every successful layer you place, so anticipate much faster movement near the top.
- If you misalign a drop, the overhanging cake is permanently trimmed away, leaving you with a much narrower target for your next layer.
Questions
How do I win the game?
You can achieve victory in two different ways: by successfully stacking exactly 20 cake layers, or by keeping your tower standing until the 60-second timer reaches zero.
What happens if I miss the stack?
If a dropped layer completely misses the cake below, your tower falls over. This results in an immediate game over, forcing you to start a completely new run.
How does the combo system work?
Landing a perfect drop increases your combo multiplier for extra points. If your drop covers at least 91 percent of the layer below, you keep your current combo active.
