As it's Shrove Tuesday (or Pancake Day) tomorrow, Sometimes You Die creator Philipp Stollenmayer has released Pancake - The Game.

It's all about flipping a pancake with a frying pan as many times as you can without it falling on to the floor.

By tapping the screen you instruct the muscular arm to flick the frying pan up. That's the extent of the controls. It's in this limiting range of interaction that the game finds its challenge.

To start off with, you'll probably go for the biggest flips you can. But what I learned after a few minutes is that greater success can be had with lighter flips.

You really have to be careful with that pancake.

Whatever score you do manage to get is tattooed on to your arm. Then, whenever you get a new high score, you get a new tattoo. My highest is eight so far. And that was a fluke.

It's a decent and relevant time-sinker that should get you in the mood for pancakes tomorrow. You can download Pancake - The Game for free on the App Store.
