A Portuguese bakery, a blade and 60 seconds to beat your best score. Swipe across the screen to slice pastries in mid-air. Slice several in one swipe, build combos and stay alert as the pace picks up. SIX PASTRIES TO SLICE From Pastel de nata custard tarts and Bola de Berlim doughnuts to croissants, palmiers, speculoos doughnuts and cinnamon rolls, each pastry has its own point value. SPARE THE CERAMICS Slicing an azulejo tile or a Barcelos rooster costs points and breaks your combo. Slice a bomb and the round ends. PLAY OR PRACTISE Aim for your best score in a 60-second round.
