Exercise 3
Last week, my brother suggested I try out a new ge. It’s called Cake Wars. After I had installed it, I had to ue it right away because some images didn’t seem to work on it properly.
At first, I had no idea what it was all about, and the is didn’t help either. Then I watched a tl online, and it all made perfect sense to me. On each ll, you need to go on a qt where you must bring a cake to safety after at least three or four bs. The fights take place with blockers controlled by AI. When you achieve your oe, you can move on to the next level of dy, where each ct is more challenging than the one before.
Now You!
