    • “Looked like it was just going to be a cheap rage game but actually turned out to be a pretty decent collection of mechanics and ideas all working around a base 'keep the mouse still/tilt as needed to adjust how the cake you're holding is sliding around on the plate'. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the full release when it comes.”
