Take the Cake is a whimsical free 2D sidescrolling platformer that thrusts players into the comical and epic quest of a humble hand-drawn stickman on a mission to claim the ultimate prize: cake. With an insatiable desire for frosting and glory, our stickman hero embarks on a journey filled with challenges, cunning obstacles, and a mischievous twist that makes the cake both tantalizingly close and frustratingly out of reach.
