What is El Panadero -The Baker-?
El Panadero is a 2D arcade platformer about Mexican bakers fighting man-eating plants from outer space.
Use simple controls to shoot in different directions, stun enemies, then attack them at close range for greater damage. Fists, a rolling pin, and bread-based items are available in combat. The game includes about 20 short stages, with settings ranging from one of Mexico’s oldest cities to an alien spaceship. A full playthrough lasts around 45 to 60 minutes.
