![]() But to it's credit, Pastry Paradise is a very good interpretation of this well-worn format and it is almost as sticky sweet looking and mouth-wateringly addictive as Candy Crush. It still baffles me how many developers are churning out Candy Crush Saga-inspired games. Some of the sequences are mildly humorous, but I felt it lacked personality. I only wish the interaction between the characters in Pastry Paradise was a bit more developed. The cakes look so good you'll be licking your screen, the characters are delightfully sweet, and the music and sound effects have a dreamy ring to them. In fact, if it was coated with any more sugar it would need a health warning. ![]() The overall presentation of Pastry Paradise is excellent. It's frustrating, I know, but that's how mobile games make their money these days. You need to pay via in-app purchase for more medals and lives, which will keep you in the game longer. Of course, as you progress things get tougher, and within a few levels you'll be begging for more moves in order to finish off a level. The principles of the game are outlined in friendly tutorial levels, and the first few levels are very forgiving, with a generous helping of moves so you can get a feel for the game. A piece of cakeĮven if you've never played a match-three game before, Pastry Paradise is child's play. Perhaps the only big 'innovation' in the gameplay is that pieces can be swapped diagonally as well as up/down/left/right. Sure, there are a range of power-ups, and different game modes (boss battles, baking challenges, etc.), but there's little in Pastry Paradise that we haven't seen before. After all, you will be trying the food as you go. It's a tried and trusted formula and it does work - Pastry Paradise is as addictive as sugary buns - but it scores no prizes for originality. Realistically, the most important quality for becoming a pastry chef is a passion for sweets and desserts.
