Classic Gaming Experience

Upon launching Grub Cakes, you will be taken to the in-app tutorial. Make sure you watch this carefully because you’re not going to be able to see it again. The instructions are fairly easy to follow; however, as the game is very simple and straightforward.

You will instantly love the graphics of this game as they take your down memory lane; they will remind you of the pixelated graphics of old videogames.

The scene is set at a cake factory as the grub stands at the end of a conveyor belt which has cakes constantly coming through. There is a machine placed right before the grub, which squishes cakes. Your mission is to ensure that the rotten cakes, which randomly show up on the conveyor belt, are squished before your grub worm eats them.

Feed or Squish!

There are six types of cakes that come out of the factory, out of which three are common ones. You will get some points for each cake consumed. The other three cakes consist of rotten cakes, blue ice cakes, and heart cakes.

The gameplay entails simply tapping to squish the latter three types of cake to incur the bonuses, and this will definitely test your reflexes as the conveyor belt speeds up over time.

You will have three hearts when you start playing and squishing a heart cake will give you an additional heart. If you miss a rotten cake, one heart will be deducted. When all your hearts are gone, the game is over.

Squishing ice cakes will slow down the conveyor belt temporarily and enable you to get a higher score.
