Pancake Peak

Pancake Peak is a cosy one-tap stacking game for kids. A frying pan slides back and forth on a rail above a plate in a little pink café. Tap to flip its pancake out: it turns over in the air and lands on the stack. Land it in the middle for a Good or a Perfect, and a Perfect straightens the stack a little. Land it off to one side and the stack leans; lean too far and the whole stack flops over.

Each day has five orders, from 4 pancakes tall to 12. Count up the ticket and the stack slides over to the customer, a lion, an elephant, a mouse, a parrot or a penguin, who gobbles it up. Berries, banana slices, butter and cherries float above the stack: drop a pancake through one to catch it. The pan speeds up with every order, and tall stacks start to sway. You have three hearts, and a customer who waits too long gets hungry, so keep flipping.

Every landing shows its number, so young players count along with the ticket. Calm kitchen mode has no hearts, no waiting and no score, for the youngest players. Everyone gets the same day of orders.

Play with one tap anywhere on a phone or tablet, a mouse click, or the Space key on a keyboard. A faint disc under the pan shows where the pancake will land and turns green over the middle.
