Flap-Jack! is a game for mobile devices that simulate cooking pancakes. You play as diner chef during the morning rush hour. Your customers are cranky and hungry, and as a result you must move quickly, and like a robot on a production line, churn those battered bad-boys out as quickly and succinctly as possible.

The game involves not just cooking the batter, but flipping them at the perfect time onto a conveyer belt-style of moving plates. The game would be rendered cartoonish style color palette, and uses particles, sound effects, and text to give the player ongoing feedback of how they are doing (think Guitar Hero, or Dance, Dance, Dance Revolution).

Using the screen to display a cast iron pan from a birds eye view, and the devices' accelerometer to effect pitch and yaw, you must use coordination to keep the pan level as the pancake cooks, and timing and balance to flip the pancakes onto a plate.

Each order has different numbers of pancakes, so you must be alert to not give a customer a wrong order. The game uses the varying degrees of intensity between keeping balance while cooking, and the agility of flipping, before returning to a level position for the next round of batter. It is a fast-paced game that tests coordination and spacial awareness under a time constraint.

Each round gives you a designated time limit. Points are awarded for getting the orders correct, the quality of the pancakes, as well as how accurately and neatly your pancakes have been flipped onto the plate. The gold standard of food service - the Yelp! review is given to you at the end of each round, which reflects how well you did.
