Flantastic Cafe Run preview - "Racing desserts, collecting ingredients"

• Lots of different outfits for your Flan
• Completely free to play, with no ads or in-app purchases
• Cute desserts!

I've been known to enjoy a lovely Flan once in a while! So when I saw Flanastic Cafe Run, with its cute mascot Flancisco, I wanted to take a go at the game! It's a pretty simple formula - a two-lane runner-style game where you need to collect a lot of little ingredients for fruit. 

While at IndieDevDay, I got the chance to play some of Flanastic Cafe Run, where the developer told me that the story behind the game is that this flan is sick of being plain looking. Flans themselves don't have fun fruit, sprinkles or colour. When Flancisco finally was purchased, he was so jiggly that he fell onto the conveyor belt. 

As a player, you need to swipe between the two belts, to keep your flan from flying off the screen. There are a bunch of other desserts on the conveyor belt. You'll have the option to jump over the middle-sized desserts or the small ones, but tall ones like sundaes and pancakes are ones that you need to just avoid.

There are a bunch of things you need to not avoid; ingredients! You'll need to run into mint leaves, blueberries, sprinkles, milk and more. These ingredients are then saved up, no matter how long your run is, so that you can use them to bake new skins and decorations for your dessert. The way that these unlock, based on the items that you collect, is pretty fun and gives you a lot to aim for. 

Flantastic Cafe Run has a different quest to take on as well, which gives you more goals if you are game for them. Completing all three, in the demo that I played, wasn't possible, so I am not sure if you 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 fantastic experience. And, it's completely free. It releases on October 4th for Android devices.
