This is honestly so much fun! I love the goofy premise of making pancakes so good that their crack and the police running you down for it. The gameplay is great, I love how crazy everything is; the cops just straight up pummeling into you and how you need to narrowly dodge them (the controls are quite floaty but it adds to the crazy, goofy vibe). I also love the art and how you throw the pancakes at the customers. Such a fun, funny game!

This was totally a blast and I love the vibe as well! What a fun time :)
This is a fun game with lots of character. I like how you need to juggle making the pancakes with driving. The hardest thing I found was finding enough customers.
Had a lot of fun, though I spent too long looking around at first
This was such a fun game!
I had fun dodging everything and the art was just fantastic.
great job! :)

OMG the sound effects are so funny! It just made the game much more fun. The comic style graphics is also very cool too. Controls are slippery but that actually matches the other parts of the game so well.
It's very hard to find the customers on the large map, maybe some indicator or error would be helpful.
Really cute idea, and I love the art. That said, the UI was scaled really weirdly when I tried to play it, and it made it kind of difficult. Might make sense to look into making the UI a bit more dynamic?
Love the visuals and the gameplay was really good - controls were fantastic.

Cool idea! I love the concept of cooking food while you're driving around and trying to navigate to the next customer while evading the cops. It's a bit like Overcooked on wheels. It's a lot to manage at once, but in a fun and chaotic way. Very nice work here!

This is both fun and funny. The drooling customers are an especially nice touch, as are the meowing police (whom I haven't yet managed to evade, darn it). Glad one doesn't have to drive a car like this in the real world, but it makes for a really great challenge once you get a bit of the hang of it. (Confession: playing this me up way too late.)
I would play without JKL just for the fun of sfx and that mad ride! Cool design).

Very cool game.
One thing I feel is missing, is an indicator from where the police is coming.
would have benn such a small and simple thing, and yet it would have increased my fun with this game manyfold.
I liked the game. I really appreciated the chaotic and funny vibe. Kudos to the artist lovingly drawing the protagonist's ass in almost every frame of animation.
But as for gameplay, I have complaints, because I think the game as a whole could've been so much more with just a little bit of polish. First, the majority of my play time was spent looking for the next customer, so a little direction indicator would be neat. Second, some sort of obstacles on the roads would be nice. It would complement the whole pancake-making gameplay really well, as right now there is almost no challenge in making them (as there's nothing to hit), and when there is a challenge (the cops) it feels more like a random game over than an avoidable obstacle.

Took me a minute to get the hang of the controls and how to deliver pancakes, the movement is not easy ^^' The art is cute and I really like all these adorable little sounds :)
Very cute! I loved the art and sound effects, as well as the music! The gameplay is quite fun too, but the police was very difficult to dodge, even when there was only one car! I would make the police a bit slower, and give the player a bit more control! Otherwise, it's a very good entry! Good job! :)
