For anyone else having this problem, that view is VR, which is default. If you're on Desktop you'll need to run the 'CakeMix (Desktop Mode)' file (as you discovered). Those are fingers, but yeah they do look like weird blobs in that view, lol

Do you have a file called "CakeMix (Desktop Mode)" in the folder? Are you getting an error? Can you give more information?
It sounds like you are trying to run the game from inside the zip file. You need to unzip it somewhere first, or you'll get the no bat file error.
Are you using the itch.io browser/downlaoder or did you download it directly from the downloads page?
