Welcome to Cake Rush

In this high-speed arcade showdown, you'll need to be fast to keep the customers satisfied. Only the sharpest chefs survive the rush. But as the flour settles and rivals fall, whispers emerge… something waits at the end. Something powerful. Something… not entirely human. Keep baking. Stay sharp. And whatever you do—don’t look away when the timer hits zero.

About

A 1 to 4 player, party game best played with humans.

An elimination game where the lowest ranked player each day is eliminated.

Try and survive 4 days of gruelling baking in our state of the art kitchen, with the latest fast bake cake ovens and cupcake delivery appliances. 

Collect cakes one at a time or stack them together for bigger bonus, and deliver to the waiting customers. Speed makes a happy customer and a bigger tip!

Once the shift ends, its not over. Earn some last minute points with some 'fun' cake related shenanigans to try and lift you off the bottom of the 'Top chefs' league table.

And remember, there's no room for slackers in this cake shop, finish last and you may be replaced, but by what!

Thank you for this fantastic game, we are reviewing the game in the next issue of WhatIFF? coming out this week. I was just wondering though do you have plans to add keyboard support similar to games like Space Taxi? Thanks again, I and my family really  love this this game! 

Hi. Ill look forward to seeing it :D.
It should have keyboard support, admittedly It was developed on emulation so I wont have tested that properly but under winua It was working with wasd and arrows. Ideally, 4 player local without an adapter would be the goal. In between other projects this year I hope to release an update with selectable characters and a few more additions, so its possible I can look into this also. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you for your reply :) I had tested it on an A1200, and could not get the WASD or arrow keys to work for the other players. That would be awesome if you could implement the game to be played with more players over the keyboard via WASD and arrow keys. Thanks again for the amazing work! By the way, would you be available for an interview about the game?

yeah, sure. Just let me know what you want me to do.

Great, what would be the best way to contact you? The interviews usually take place over email, so perhaps if you can contact me at: timopaul@whatiff.info we can go from there. Thanks!

Will do, cheers

An excellent and fun game for the Amiga. I included it in my video along with other games released in February.

Thanks, enjoyed it.

Very fun and entertaining party game that really shines with multiple players. We had a blast with it! Our German-language review can be found at 03:19:45. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Great game, thanks.

very good

So cool idea! I love it. It is really something fresh. At first I thought it’s just another game where you have to prepare meal for the customers. But no, this is something completely different! :)

God no, I know what you mean. I deliberately avoided that :D. Thanks for the comment
