With the release of Crayon Physics Deluxe, it seems a lot of developers are trying to capitalize on the old, “Here’s a canvas draw what you want” spiel. Of course, this is a decent excuse for hand-drawn graphics that are subpar, but Paper Cakes is surprisingly delightful and fresh. You navigate the level by folding and unfolding a piece of paper until you reach the end and receive your giant piece of cake. Of course, the only downside to this game is that you’ll need both Adobe AIR and Bamboo Dock software in order to play it.

Poor Doodle just wants to eat cake. Why must he be denied by incomplete notebook-paper drawings? Fortunately for Doodle, you’re here to help. You’ll fold and flip paper to reshape the landscape,
allowing Doodle to get around incomplete walkways and statuesque baddies to get to his precious cake. This delightfully cheery puzzle game is light, airy and surprisingly atmospheric. Some puzzles can be a bit frustrating, especially once double folding is introduced, but it’s so darn cute, how can you not keep playing?
