Description
Cakefoot is an extremely challenging, single-button, minimalist dodge 'em up, inspired by classics such as The World's Hardest Game, Geometry Dash, Flappy Bird, Super Hexagon, Kuru Kuru Kururin, Ralph 4, and The Cat That Got the Milk.
Hurtling hazards bombard your path as you guide a living slice of cake along a curving line through space.
Simple to learn, impossible to master. Hold the button to move the cake forward, let go to move back, and the cake will respond with natural physics. If you can navigate the most challenging enemy patterns you've ever seen all the way to the end, you'll be rewarded with -- a new, harder difficulty 😈
Detour into arcade mode to see how far you can get in the time limit ⏰
CAKE is just the beginning -- beat the game and collect all the coins to unlock BEEF CAKE, BUFFALO BEEF CAKE, and visual effects, MIRROR and WARPED.
Keys
Free keys are available for the Steam version, and standalone builds for PC, MacOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi are available for download. If you are interested in covering Cakefoot, streaming it, or otherwise need a key, send me a message at cocktail.frank at dank.game!

About
The original version of Cakefoot was a free downloadable game created in 2019 for Ludum Dare 45 by diskmem and Azuria Sky. The original was also a single-button dodge 'em up with 2D on-rails movement. An update after the jam added enemy sprites and a new level. The game remained available for free on itch.io. In 2023, after Cakefoot was successfully pitched as a web game to Coolmathgames, the project was revived with new features, including introductory levels, coins, automatic saves, arcade mode, and unlockables.
Arcade mode was added when Cakefoot was exhibited at Derpy Con in 2023 as part of the Barnyardia pop-up arcade by diskmem and snakesandrews. Arcade mode gives the player limited time and records the farthest distance reached before time runs out. High scores are saved and displayed in the game. After the convention, the arcade cabinet returned with Cakefoot to Wonderville in Brooklyn, NY, where it is still available to play.
A custom game engine called SPACE🪐BOX is being developed alongside the game. One of the main features of the engine is it supports exporting to many platforms, including PC, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and web browsers. Cakefoot is playable at 💫dank.game💫, a platform created for Cakefoot and future games built with the engine.
