REVIEW

I was going into this game not expecting much, but found myself addicted and having a great time while playing.

Spend your month preparing and making cakes for different kinds of customers. Some customers are patient and will wait a long time while others are in a hurry and have little to no patience for you. That gives the game a bit of tactic that you wouldn't expect. You can allow the old ladies and grown men to wait while you hurry up and make the goods for the kids off from school or the business man who is on the run.

There is even a tactic to slow down the impatience of the demanding customers. You can buy an add on microwave that automatically bakes cupcakes. No customers will order them, but if you are about to lose a customer because you incorrectly made the cake or are behind, toss them a cupcake and they will wait longer for you.

At one point you can even throw down your cash for a TV that will slow all customers down from being so demanding.

There really isn't too much to the game up front, but really it is somewhat tactical and very fast paced. If I am looking for a game to pass a half hour of my time while having fun, this is it.

I say it's worth picking up at $19 for sure if you want something fun and addictive to pass a short period of time.

7.0/10
