Cake Mania review

cake mania
Cakes are great. Great big chocolate cakes, short fat sponge cakes, moist pert fairy cakes... Our love of sweet baked goods grows larger every day. As do our waistlines. If ever we'd worked in a cake shop, it would only have been a matter of time before we'd have scoffed so much merchandise, we'd have exploded over the customers like a sweet-toothed Mr Creosote from Monty Python.

Thankfully, Cake Mania provides a less dangerous way to indulge our patisserie fetish. It's a simulation that has you running a succession of cake shops, baking up tasty treats for a variety of customers, from nice old ladies and harassed businesspeople through to, erm, the Easter Bunny.

Keeping customers happy is, on the surface, a simple matter. When someone comes into the shop, you give them a menu and wait for them to choose a cake, which will be one of a combination of shapes and icing-colours. For example, a round cake with white icing, or a triangular cake with red icing.

You then bake the cake in the oven and when it's finished put the icing on, hand it to the customer and take their money. Except during this process, another customer or two will have walked in, so you have to juggle their orders, too.

All of this is handled by simply moving a cursor around the screen between the different elements – customer, oven, icing station and so on. The system works well, even if it's slightly fiddlier than similar games that assign individual keys for these actions.

Similar games? Well yes. Cake Mania is the latest in an increasingly long line of 'casual job' games, following Diner Dash (the same idea, but in a restaurant) and Manic Medic (hospital). All these games are based on existing casual web games. In that sense, Cake Mania is hardly original.

But who cares, when it tastes this good? The fun – and the challenge – comes from upgrading your cake shops as you progress through the game, such as getting faster ovens, more icing stations, or trays of treats to keep your waiting customers happy. You can even buy new shoes to help you scamper around the bakery faster.

However, the orders get more complex as you go along, with customers demanding swizzier decorations, while the pace ramps up to panic-stricken levels if you're not clever about managing your queues. Do it right, though, and you'll earn big tips, earning you enough money to buy new upgrades.

Meanwhile, the game is neatly structured by calendar month, with certain customers appearing at certain times of the year (that'll explain the Easter Bunnies, then). It all works smoothly, and the graphics are full of character – not that you'll have much time to notice them as you rush from task to task.

If you loved Diner Dash, you should definitely buy Cake Mania, as it's baked from the same cake mixture. But even if you haven't played Glu's waitress title, Cake Mania is a delicious slice of mobile gaming goodness. Sweet.

Some PSG tips that could make the difference between you being a good player and a top player-

1. TEE SHOT - When I started playing I used to press the shot button (5) twice, once to select the power and second time to select the accuracy. There is no need to do that. Just let the power bar run to max and press the shot button only to select accuracy. Less functions to perform equals better results.

Moreover if you have been playing the career mode for a long time and then suddenly enter an arena match, you tend to forget that the wind speed/ direction is no longer having an effect which could make that all important difference of one stroke.

2. Iron Shot - Selecting the correct iron for that all important second shot is much more critical. For its the second shot that generally determines that you will get a birdie/ eagle or end up with a par. The trick is to select a longer shot and hit using lesser power because if you manage your shot so that the power meter didn't needed to reach the red mark then you don't have to worry about the accuracy and the golf ball going right or left. Whenever you hit a shot with power meter less that the red mark your shot is fairly accurate in terms of direction regardless of the point you stop on the power meter. So the only thing you have to worry about in such a case is power so that the ball reaches close enough to the hole.

3. Chip Shot - The only thing to remember here is to practice and practice so that you can accurately judge the power required so that your chip shot lands inches off the hole (so that it doesn't get a chance to go left or right) and then straight into it.

4. Putting - Hitting even a 50 feet putt on a plain/ straight surface isn't a big deal. The problem comes when you get one of those extremely slopy surface (when the putting line is totally curved). Hitting even a 10 feet putt can be a pain in the as in such cases. There are two approaches now. First one is to hit the ball accurately with more power so that it doesn't dip towards the slope. Remember if you miss you will end up with another difficult shot on this slopy surface and probably with a bogey. This approach is therefore advised only for extremely short distances (8 feet or so). The second approach is to hit the ball with only the required power and move the end point of the ball off the hole towards the outer part of the curve, so that when you get the dip of the slope the ball ends in the hole.

Not sure if these points will be of any help to anyone (you probably knew these already) but thought to post them anyway. Also I am not good at posting screenshots, so bear with me.
