Ding! Sandlot Games’ Cake Mania 2 Fully Baked and Ready for Play

Sequel to Best Selling Casual Game of 2006 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 that have 6 fabulous frostings
  • Earn extra cash with 8 wild cake toppers
  • Players measure their skills in a new Endless Baking mode
