RealNetworks to Launch Mobile Version of Cake Mania

RealNetworks announced that it is launching the mobile version of the popular computer game "Cake Mania". The mobile game will be available in North America and Europe through major wireless carriers.

Developed and published by Real's GameHouse Studios in collaboration with Sandlot Games, Cake Mania brings the action-packed levels from the computer version to mobile users in an easy to play format. In Cake Mania, players must help Jill open her own bakery, bring in customers and earn enough money to re-open her grandparents' bakery. Players can upgrade and customize the bakery with three ovens, three decorating and three icing stations, a TV and many other appliances; as well as create more than 1000 unique cake variations. The game features some famous (and infamous) customers like Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and Count Dracula. Cake Mania can be played in 'competition' mode, where gamers must help Jill take on "Mega Mart" with her own local bakery.

"Cake Mania's popularity online and at retail has made it a household name, with more than 35 million downloads to date," said Daniel Bernstein, president and CEO, Sandlot Games. "The game's loyal player base still continues to grow, so working with RealNetworks to publish for the mobile platform is a natural progression to increase accessibility. We anticipate success on the mobile platform to mirror the success we've seen to date for the computer version."
