2/1/2024 0 Comments Cake mania 3 reviewAs something of a Cake Mania fan on the PC (I like these "spinning plate" games), I was concerned about going from mouse controls to a cursor controlled with the d-pad. Dumping the cake for any reason - mistaken frosting or accidental baking - costs you money. If you grab a freshly baked cake but don't have a platter or any room at your frosting stations, you have to dump the cake. Jill only has two hands, so if you still have some cakes over at the frosting station, but you see that an oven has just opened up, you can temporarily store a work-in-progress. You can place a cake is any stage of creation on the platter so you can attend to other business. Perhaps the most important thing you can buy, though, is a platter. Jill can even splurge on some new kicks that keep her racing around the kitchen without sweating in the cake mix. And to keep the waiting folks amused, you can let them sample cupcakes or watch television. As you rack up sales, you add equipment to the kitchen for managing increased traffic. You hand the customer a menu, they tell you what they want, and you head for the oven to bake the proper shape of cake. ![]() Jill's bakeries - and there are four of them you open throughout the 48-stage game - come with basic equipment: counter, oven, frosting station. Chocolate round with purple frosting and a rose decoration? Two-layer with red icing? When you're in that zone it's no sweat. Customer sidle up to the counter and demand some cake creation. But it's a fun stressful, because as I mentioned, there is a groove you often find yourself in - and it's a rather entertaining place to be. In other words, Cake Mania can be incredibly stressful. If the counter is full of customers and my cupcakes aren't done to assuage their impatience, botching a frosting choice is tantamount to disaster. ![]() On many occasions, I found that it's much easier to recover from an early mistake. In Cake Mania, baking the wrong-shaped cake or getting stuck with an unfinished cake in your hands and nowhere to put it can skip the groove. How long can you keep everything up in the air? Because the first time one thing comes crashing to the ground, your confidence is rattled and it's a struggle to find the groove again. Like Diner Dash, the goal is to manage time and resources under increasingly difficult conditions. Cake Mania occupies the "plate spinning" sub-genre of puzzle games.
