Majesco Announces Cake Mania

Majesco Entertainment wants to let the flour fly in Cake Mania, a new online game heading to the Nintendo DS. The game is based on a casual game by Sandlot Games of the same name. Cake Mania for the DS takes the same gameplay, which essentially boils down to manic cake-baking, and adds touch screen controls as well as a new appearance. The original online game and its expansion Back to the Bakery will also be included.

In Cake Mania, players jump into the role of Jill, who returns from culinary school to find her beloved grandparents’ bakery closed down because a new Mega-Mart store opened in the neighborhood. The ultimate aim of the game is to earn enough money so that Jill can re-open her grandparents’ bakery. This can only be achieved by serving the increasingly difficult customers and updating Jill’s kitchen with new baking tools in over 80 levels.

All aspects of the gameplay will be handled via the touch-screen, from handing out menus and collecting cash, to baking, frosting and decorating cakes. In the later levels, Cake Mania promises to be as hectic as no other similar game, as more and more customers need to be served.

Cake Mania will be available in early 2007 for a mere $19.99. And if you think that a casual online game made into a DS title isn’t worth the money, check out Magnetica which, in the end, turned out as a quite decent little game. So let’s just hope the same will be true for Cake Mania.
