Online bakery sim heading to PC

by Jennie Lees on May 17th 2006 4:59PM

Anyone interested in the success of online titles may do well to watch Cake Mania, a downloadable puzzle game set in a bakery. Developer eGames, Inc has partnered with Sandlot Games to bring this online game to retail outlets.

Apparently spurred on by its online popularity, the boxed version will feature new levels. Lars Batista of eGames claims that Cake Mania "strikes the perfect balance" between "fun and educational" -- however, we doubt running a bakery is much like the clean-cut cartoony world of this game.

now this is what im freakin talkin about

AT LAST! MY PRAYERS, ANSWERED!

wait...wtf?

I smell an XBLA game in the making...

This is the stupidest game i've seen....Damn enough with all the SIMs games.

next will be SIMS:Game Developer (Control your sims to make a new game)

I'm trying to be nice

#3

no you aren't. liar.

I'm waiting for Pie Mania

You can't fool me with your cake flavored pies!

There's already a game developer sim, it's called Game Tycoon.

Someones been watching too many reruns of "I Love Lucy"

I love this game! I would buy the boxed version because of the extra levels and hopefully a bit extra difficulty. At first I was lured in by the pretty colors and cute graphics but it was actually pretty challenging at times. I beat the online version in one day. There I go bragging again.

Absolutely, someone put this on the XBLA fast, please :D

Seems to be very similar to the game Yoshinoya Beef Bowl.

Well, at least my girlfriend cares about this. That makes one, do we have any more than that?

OMG I LOVE CAKE! ^______^

Do they have a low carb version?

I remember a game like this on the NES... Burger Time? I loved running from wieners and such then spraying them with salt if i were surrounded. It was fun. I wonder how this game will be like? *cough*

I don't understand why this is newsworthy? There are tons of previously online-only casual games being sold in retail. Bejeweled, Chuzzle, Collapse... This has been going on for a long time -- why bring it up now?

And, incidentally, it's already on the PC (it's a downloadable game), and it isn't a "sim" in even the loosest sense of the term.

"Developer eGames, Inc has partnered with Sandlot Games to bring this online game to retail outlets."

I think that should be the other way around. Sandlot Games was the deveolper and eGames is going to publish it.

Here's a link to the press release:

Isn't this game only a copy of that game for Atari called Pressure Cooker or something? It's funny how people completely forgot about the Atari days and now are copying these games... Cake Mania, Raid Over the River... I don't understand why activision didn't sued this people yet.

May be you should be sued for not properly using the english grammar

In MS Vista, there's a game called Purple place which have a similar play structure...

this is an amazing game and i really want to buy it.
