Defend the Cake

This game is anything BUT a piece of ‘cake’! Totally unbalanced and waaayyy too hard! Absolutely no different than most TD games that you will ‘bake’ for just a few hours of gameplay, until you realize you’re not having fun and move-on to much ‘batter’ games! Extremely scarce resources and very limited building space options just add an extra ‘layer’ of boringness and make this game a real ‘muffin’! And the ‘icing’ on top is those terribly annoying sounds the little creatures make non-stop during the game (!) You can find a much better ‘treat’ elsewhere. This one will only leave you with a sour 'taste'!

This is not a game you would expect to be so well designed but it's got some serious chops to its design. Don't let the slightly cheap graphics deter you, (extremely endearing and personable graphics that they are though), this is refined and tasty little tower defense game with some elegant refining of the classic game play elements. The build/attack cycle, the way upgrades work, the way "spells" work; these all have simpler but far better ways of working than classic tower defense. I especially like how you don't have choose between spending money on a "spell" or building a tower, which is a choice that never really worked that well. As well giving you all the time and infomation to make you decisions when building means in the attack phase you can be enitrely focused on when to active the "spells" and it makes a lot of difference when you use or don't use them. So to be clear this a tower defense where you will be entirely engaged the whole time, either because it's the build ...

My favorite aspect is the unique mechanic of limited actions. In between rounds, you only have four (later six) eggbirds to build, upgrade, or gain extra resources. While you can undo immediate actions, you cannot sell or move towers later. During a round, your only action is to temporarily power up towers, then wait a few seconds for the recharge. This might sound limited, but especially in later levels, it keeps you busy with quickly deciding when and on which tower to use your power best. The maps are very open, giving you many different options to figure out the best set up by replaying a level. The art style is not for me, personally, but also doesn't turn me off. Overall, the game is all about strategy and planning ahead, which can make it frustrating at first, but more enjoyable on replays. As a fan of strategy and tower defense games, I love it.

I have played a lot of tower defense games, and so far this is one of my favorites. The art style is endearing and incredibly cute, I enjoy the challenge of the strategic elements, and score attack mode is hilarious. Also: grasshoppers with jetpacks and snails with rockets! Definitely check out this game.

Why are you reading this?! The ants are everywhere!!! They're ON SEGWAYS!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DEFEND THE CAKE!!!!!11

I just finished my first playthrough of Defend the Cake's 18 levels, and I am very excited to go back and play through all the levels again. This is certainly one of the best tower defense games I have ever played, and is on par with Kingdom Rush and Plants vs Zombies. Defend the Cake is relatively easy to beat if you don't care if some of your cake is taken by ants or rocket powered snails, but difficult if you're trying to get a perfect score. The aspect of Defend the Cake that distinguishes it from other tower defense games is that all 6 towers have their own purpose and no single tower feels overpowered. I highly recommend purchasing this game if your're a fan of strategy tower defense games.

Just when you thought the tower defense genre has been competely explored, along comes a game that offers something fresh and new in the genre. Defend the Cake introduces a handful a relatively easy to pick up mechanics, then layers them really well in order to create an experience with quite a bit of depth (the later levels can be pretty challenging), While a lot of the mechanics may seem familiar to those who have played tower defense games before (mazing, spells, resource management, etc.) here the experience is so refined that the flow never feels bogged down as in other tower defense games- you're never pulled out of the action for very long. Add to all this a simple, charming art style and a whimsical sense of humor, and you end up with a really fun diversion in single player, with hours of potential replay value as you try various different strategies in order to improve your leaderboard score in "score attack" mode. *thumbs up*

A beautiful little gem of a game, where you have to defend (as the title suggests) a set of delicious cakes from some very cake-hungry creatures. The expression on the cakes is adorable, with my favourite being the Pineapple Cake. Mmmm pineapple-upside-down cake ... All that is required to improve the game is a chocolate cake DLC! It's a very enjoyable game to play with a nice sense of humour to it. I highly recommend it.

The art and sound effects in this game are super adorable. The game is challenging without making me want to slam my head against my desk and very fun.

Love this game! Very addictive!
