Gameplay is still fundamentally the same. As you visit ancient China, Olde England, revolutionary France, ancient Egypt and the Stone Age (plus a secret sixth location), you’ll meet a different set of customers for each location, including the Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Emperor Napoleon in France, wizards and witches in Olde England, and dinosaurs and cave men in the Stone Age.Īs in Cake Mania 2, customers will occasionally appear in locations where they don’t belong, but this is at least explained by the fact that the Time Bender is malfunctioning. Players can select which time period to visit in any order, but once the selection has been made they’re committed to playing through all levels in that location. Taking the final Time Bender fragment, Jill must travel to each time period to find her loved ones and bring them back - by baking cakes. The Time Bender artifact, which Jill received at the end of Cake Mania 2, accidentally shatters into several pieces, and when her family and friends each grab a piece to try to put it back together they’re each transported back in time to a different period of history. As she’s coping with last-minute wedding preparations, however, disaster strikes. The story picks up as Jill is about to embark on the next exciting phase of her life: marriage. The result, happily, is a sequel that has enough new features to justify a purchase even for fans that have already played through the first two. Given that Cake Mania 2 was a good, but not stellar, follow-up to the original Cake Mania, Sandlot Games had something to prove with Cake Mania 3.
