In one sentence

WaffleKing turns iPhone Duo into a waffle iron: the fold is the hinge, and while the waffle bakes, the cover display shows the closed iron.

Short description

His Majesty the Waffle King has decreed it: a phone that folds shall make waffles. Pour batter onto the inner display, fold the phone shut and wait for the light on the cover display. Open too early and you pull apart strings of raw goo. Wait too long and the smoke lets you know. Get it just right, and the waffle comes out golden.

Long description

WaffleKing is built around what is new about iPhone Duo. The fold is the only control for the bake, and the two displays play one continuous scene. On the inner display the iron lies open: you pour the batter on the lower half. Fold the phone, and the cover display shows the closed iron: the indicator light glows while it heats, steam puffs from the seams, and smoke warns, politely at first, when it is getting too late. Unfold it at the right moment, and the waffle is judged on doneness and coverage, from “Goo!” to “Golden perfection” to “Burnt to a crisp”.

There are three modes. Quick Waffle is one waffle and one score. Shop Shift brings five customers with their own orders, tips and streaks. The Daily Challenge is one special waffle for a guest of honour, the same for everyone, with exactly one try per day. Leaderboards and achievements come through Game Center.
