    Hello everyone,

    We are excited to announce the TestFlight beta for Defend the Cake, a strategic and scrumptious Tower Defense game with an emphasis on mazing (shaping the path the enemies take), and some fresh new mechanics.

    We are a self-funded, independent team of 3 former Blizzard and Riot developers and we are super excited to finally bring Defend the Cake to mobile after launching on Steam this last December.

    Thank you to everyone who has sent us feedback so far via DM and email! We've just released an updated build on TestFlight to address some of that feedback.

    Here are the changes we made:
    • Made the Spice Gem easier to tap on, and gave it some more pizzazz.
    • Made the Rolling Pin Ramp easier to tap on.
    • Tweaked some UI that was too small on the smallest phone screens.
    • Score Attack performance optimizations.
    • A bunch of other small bug fixes and improvements.
