- Many different outfits for your Flan
- Completely free, without advertising or in-app purchases
- Nice desserts!
I enjoy a delicious flan from time to time! So when I saw Flanastic Cafe Run, with its cute mascot Flancisco, I wanted to try the game! It's a pretty simple formula: a two-lane runner-style game where you have to collect lots of little fruit ingredients.
During IndieDevDay, I had the chance to play some Flanastic Cafe Run, where the developer told me that the story behind the game is that this flan is tired of looking plain. The flans themselves have no fruit, sprinkles, or fun colors. When Flancisco was finally purchased, it was so shaky that it fell on the conveyor belt.
As a player, you have to swipe between the two belts to keep your flan from flying off the screen. There are plenty of other desserts on the conveyor belt. You'll have the option to skip over medium-sized desserts or small ones, but tall ones like sundaes and pancakes are the ones you simply need to avoid.
There are a lot of things you shouldn't avoid; ingredients! You will have to come across mint leaves, blueberries, sprinkles, milk and more. These ingredients will then be set aside, regardless of the length of your run, so that you can use them to bake new skins and decorations for your dessert. The way they unlock, based on the items you collect, is quite fun and gives you a lot to aim for.
Flantastic Cafe Run also has a different mission to take on, which gives you more objectives if you're ready for them. Completing all three wasn't possible in the demo I played, so I'm not sure you'll get bonus ingredients, but it's still fun to challenge yourself.
Flantastic Cafe Run is a simple game paired with cute graphics and fun ways to unlock new items, providing a great experience. And it's completely free. It will be released on October 4 for Android devices.
