On February 15, we received an email from a fan named David.

It went like this:

Subject: Question from a fan.

From:   David

Hello, I’m pretty new to the Android world but one game that I’ve always wanted to get on my android is the game Sky Burger, not sure why I like it so much but I do. As you probably know, it’s not on the android market, I’ve been searching around, well, everywhere looking for a game just like it. I stumbled across you game Pancakes!!!! I love this game soooo much and I don’t have any money to get the paid version. I really want to play the full version, and I would totaly tell everyone I know about this game! I’m kinda a blogger so that could help the word get out.

Enough beating around the bush, I was wondering if you could give me a copy of Pancakes FOREVER free. I know you probably wont want to but I honestly do not have the money to buy the full version, if you give me the full version I promise I wont upload it to any sites or anything, I’ll just tell everyone about it.
I’m asking because not only do I love this game but also because I can see that your game doesnt have that many downloads which means it’s not that popular and I believe I could help with that. I would appreciate it if you could at least E-mail me back with an answer, whether it’s a no or a yes (please be yes) I don’t mean to sound like a begger/bum but it would be really awesome if you could do that for me.

Thanks a Million

Hi David,

Here is a link to your personalized copy of Pancakes!!!

To install it you’ll need to enable installation from “Unknown Sources”. You can enable “Unknown Sources” by tapping Menu->Settings->Applications and enable the option called “Unknown Sources”. Next, either tap the above link or type it into your phone’s web browser and press “Go”.

This is what you and your friends will see on the main menu:

And I’ve heard rumors that you might find a permanent spot on the credits screen:

We’re happy that you enjoy playing Pancakes and we hope you like your very own custom copy of the game.

Cheers!

This is what being an indie developer is about; connecting with players in ways that otherwise would not have been possible.

Thanks David! You made this indie adventure worthwhile.
Cheers!
