  • Score Attack and Leaderboard issue resolved - 31 October 2021

    We have updated the game to fix the issue with the Leaderboard and Score Attack not working properly. Unfortunately, due to changes Apple has made since we initially launched the game, we are unable to continue to support Mac OS. We sincerely apologize to all of our players who play exclusively on mac, and encourage you to request a refund if you are able to do so.

  • October Score Attack and Leaderboard issue - 21 October 2021

    The month of October has brought in some spooky ghosts to haunt the Cakedom! It has come to our attention that games compiled with certain versions of Unity are unable to perform web requests after October 1, 2021. This is currently breaking Defend the Cake’s Leaderboards and Score Attack mode. We will work to update Defend the Cake to a more recent version of Unity, and get a new build out as soon as possible. Until then, you can work around this issue by adjusting the date on your OS to any time before October 1, 2021. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and will work to get this fixed as soon as possible.
