Hits Market
Sandlot Games today announced the general
availability of Cake Mania 2, the sequel to Cake Mania, Yahoo’s 2006 Casual Game
of the Year and the best selling game of 2006. Free trials of Cake Mania 2 are
now exclusively available at
www.sandlotgames.com
and the full game can be purchased for $19.99 (U.S.).
Cake Mania 2 picks up where the original game
left off. After spending most of 2006 working to re-open the Evans Bakery, and
sending her grandparents on an exotic Hawaiian cruise, Jill is ready to make her
long-awaited, triumphant return to PCs everywhere in Cake Mania 2. This time,
players get to decide what new adventures Jill should pursue! Each exciting
choice leads to new baking challenges, as well as new dilemmas, ultimately
resulting in Jill reaching one of six fun-filled endings. For example, help
Jill’s college friend Risha in her posh, Northwestern rooftop bakery; rescue
Jill’s old college flame, Jack, in his underwater theme park located on the
ocean floor; or wind up in 4 other far-flung bakery locations, each with its own
unique layout!
“I’m hooked on Cake Mania, so the release of Cake
Mania 2 is just feeding the appetite I have for this game,” said Melissa
Heckman, casual gamer. “I can say after playing the new version that this game
takes it to another level. The visuals are clean, the game play is fantastic,
and once again Jill’s character is pure gaming magic.”
Cake Mania 2 also comes with new features, such
as branching, non-linear storylines, 204 levels of cake-baking nirvana and more:
- Customize Jill’s bakeries with 50 unique
kitchen upgrades - Keep Jill on her toes with 18 all-new quirky
and demanding customers that range from Federal Agents to mysterious Aliens - Play with deliciously different cake styles
