Pancakes!

Interesting game, but I find it hard to move the hand left/right without the plate not dropping on the floor. How many pancakes can you collect? I once collected one before loosing. The other 4-5 times I tried I didn't collect any at all. Thumbs up for catchy music.

I can generally get up to around 5-6. It definitely takes some practice to get there though.

jons-games 2017-12-04 12:14

It certainly fits the theme! I must say it is hard enough to begin with just balancing the plate before catching anything on it. Nice little game though.

Pretty hard but fun to play. Gj.

svenfrankson 2017-12-04 12:19

20 seconds, 2 pancakes. Fits the theme quite well, good job :)

niphram 2017-12-04 12:19

Oh wow, this is really hard... I would have loved to see mouse control, since that would allow you finder control for balancing the plate. But it's still fun!

bobombe 2017-12-04 12:27

I did 350 points :D ! Cood be better with a "faster physics" ...

william-bundy 2017-12-04 12:30

I had trouble lasting for more than 9 seconds, but good job overall. Balancing the plate seems impossible, but might get better with practice.

I rather like the cutout photos for graphics though

oxrock 2017-12-04 12:32

@bobombe I tripled unity's default gravity to help with the innate floaty feel. Although it still felt a bit slow I think making it faster would only increase the difficulty that was already pretty high. Thanks for the feedback though.

bobombe 2017-12-04 12:46

@oxrock That's quite hard to balance manoeuvrability and difficulty :/

silvervalegames 2017-12-04 14:19

This was very good use of the theme! I thought it was very hard to try and get the plate to go where you want it, and sometimes it felt like the hand was moving way too slow for me to possibly even think about getting a pancake... or maybe I'm just really bad at the game haha!

serval-games 2017-12-04 14:33

Catching pancakes was quite fun but too slow but let's be honest I could not miss the game with pancakes in the title

falk-bruskeland 2017-12-04 15:40

Nice job! Very hard, but super fun!

generalvivi 2017-12-04 15:54

Ha! I just had some pancakes before playing this! Nice work :)

mrnyarlathotep 2017-12-04 17:50

I call shenanigans on those clearly photoshopped (I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time) screenshots of someone holding 5 pancakes because that is clearly an impossible task for human beings to achieve.

And in the game too

fakeyou 2017-12-04 18:35

Fun but too difficult, cool idea but it was too difficult to even get the plate underneath the lightbulb.

oxrock 2017-12-04 18:40

I suppose I'll just have to post a video of how it's done to show all you nonbelievers.

Edit: Video is now posted above showing how a pro catches pancakes!

gamesplusjames 2017-12-04 19:43

Simple mechanic but fun to play! i wasn't very good though :D Great job!

machrom 2017-12-04 20:12

A really cool idea. Like the way it fits with the theme and it's a lot of fun, though difficult as hell...

patrick-d 2017-12-04 20:43

I love how the plate is balancing on a pen, and the race to catch a pancake when you're on the opposite side of the room.

mosegames 2017-12-05 02:16

So hard

fussenkuh 2017-12-05 03:22

You had me at pancakes! But, then you kind of lost me at the difficultly level. I shed a tear when each of my pancakes hit the ground :( In the 10 or so attempts I tried, i think I caught a single pancake. That said, I did have a fun time attempting to catch the flapjacks. And, I was amused with what looks like a hinge joint for the pen pivot. I actually had a good time trying to hit the falling pancakes back up in the air once I realized the pen/plate would rotate around. Nice meta game, that ;-)

gamepopper 2017-12-05 14:01

It's a bit difficult to get the pancake to land on the plate, when the plate is falling in the opposite side of the pancake itself.

georgebgreen 2017-12-05 18:21

Really hard game, but also a really fun interpretation of the theme. The audio for the gameover sound was kind of really high. Other than that i enjoyed it!

thiagofr 2017-12-05 20:29

Its an interesting take on the theme, but the controls are very difficult to get. It takes some time to understand how to maneuver the frying pan. The sounds are good and the game fits the theme overall. Congratulations!

rowdies 2017-12-06 13:30

So hard to balance the pan cakes! I tried multiple times but could only balance like 2 at a time!!

oxrock 2017-12-06 14:34

@rowdies 2 pancakes isn't bad at all. That's probably better that most people (other than me of course, I AM the pancake king after all). This game requires a lot of practice to be proficient, more than most people are willing to invest in a jam game it seems.

thesoreon 2017-12-06 18:45

Interesting game, but very hard. Well done

robert-newman 2017-12-06 23:42

couldnt catch more then 2 pancakes! so well done to those who could do more then that

drtizzle 2017-12-12 13:52

Damn this is hard, cool idea though! After some practice I managed to catch 5 pancakes maximum. The controls are a bit too floaty, I didn't have the feeling that I was in control. But cool graphics and concept, well done!

madbeagle 2017-12-16 23:42

Too difficult for me, I blame it on being distracted by the tiny kitchen appliances (or very high ceiling)...

patrick-woodcock 2017-12-20 22:44

Nice take on the theme & good physics.
