Booklet Draft

Background Story

Little Elf admires his father, who is once the most renowned baker in the world. Gusteau Chef, the Top Award in bakery, is in memory of his father. However, during an accident, his father is gone. The little Elf undertakes his father's cake business, and hopes to restore the past glory. With the heirloom of the Elf's family business, the magic creams, the little Elf begins its journey to become a cake master.

Game Concept

The magic creams are too active and they cannot wait to rush onto the cakes following the shortest way. This eventually makes awkward cake and immerses the little Elf under the patron's complaint. Your goal is to help the little elf manipulate the valves to block some roads, so that the creams can get out in order and eventually makes the desired cake for the customers. Once successfully passing a level, you will be awarded with a medal, and all types of cake will be recorded on the collection page so as to show the progress of the little Elf.

Operating Instrutions

Note: Use arrow keys to move the Elf in different directions and strategically push the valves to blend the colored creams and send them to the exit one by one as the recipe indicates. Sometimes the valve-push process is irreversible so think twice before pushing it!

Collection Board

Valve

By rotating the valves, you can open the path in different direcions, thus controlling the creams!

Cream

The magic cream is smart and follows the shortest way towards the exit. The deeper the color is, the longer the distance.

Toppings

Picky customers may demand toppings including vanilla and chocolate be added to a specific layer of cake. To help Elf get this topping, the relevant cream should flow across the topping so as to bring it to the exit.

Color Merging Principle

When two creams of different colors meet with each other, they will merge following the principle of three colors so that in all 6 creams are made using only 3 types of ingredients.

Exit

Here is the exit of the cream. Creams getting to this point will be added to one layer of cake. Notice that the creams exit first will be the bottom layer.

Game Mechanism

The player controls the movement of the Elf and strategically works the valves to blend the colored creams and send them to the exit one by one as the recipe indicates. Inappropriate color merging and cream sequence interfere with the Elf’s dream of mastery.

Levels

Level 1

Little Elf is a beginner. After reading the recipes, he decides to try an easy cake at first. Elf's favourite fruit is mango, straberry and cherry. Please help him to make this cake!

Level 2

After months of practice, Little Elf masters some techniques to make cakes, so he reopens the bakery. The first customer is a little girl who loves chocolates and she orders a mango cake with chocolate topping.

Level 3

After years of success, Little Elf's store enjoys a good reputation. Here comes the good news! The Gusteau Chef warmly invites to Little Elf to participate in a competition. The Elf won't miss this golden chance. He decides to make the masterpiece of his father -- the supreme rosy champagne milk cake with vanilla topping.
