Confectionary: I Spy..not your usual cooking game.

Confectionary is not your usual cooking game as there is no cooking part in the game. The story is about a male chef inheriting a run down old factory. The goal of the game is to collect certain things in 3 different places and finish rebuilding the factory in a limited time.

The only mini game is to look out for cooking tickets that will open the cooking school. When you find a ticket, the mini game will start. To finish this, you need to complete the certain number of ingredients below by pairing 3 or more of the same ingredients horizontally or vertically. Once you've finished, a cake will be available with the instruction on how to do it. Just click on the map to go back to the main game anytime.

The timer on the upper right hand part will continuously run even if you are doing the mini game. So either finish the mini game or click on the map to finish the whole level. Once you have located all the listed items, a puzzle will appear. You need to complete the puzzle on the remaining time you have on the timer. Always pay attention to the timer. If you tend to not finish the game, you will go back to the start of the level you are in.

The only flaw of the game are the limited time on each level and the way the items are hidden.

If you don't have the time and patience for this game, it is not for you. You need to have a very keen eye in locating items because this will help when you have a limited time in your hands.

The game is free.You can download it here.

Relaxing..Spy-tingling..Eco-friendly: Spa Mania 2

Spa Mania 2 is a follow-up on the first Spa Mania game. This time Jade is on to building an Eco-friendly spa in this Time Management game.

The game starts in San Francisco with one dresser, massage table, stone massage table and shower. You only have an option to use 1 earth-friendly equipment. Every time you fill the green grade, additional earth-friendly equipment can be used.

Just like the first Spa Mania game, it also include some mini-games like the Incense where you will guide a hot air balloon in gathering the ingredients to make incense while avoiding the clouds, mountains and birds using the left click of your mouse in a limited time. If the bird hits you, the cloud will be much lower on the screen which will make the gathering of ingredients more troublesome.

There is also the Tea mini game where you need to collect as many bags of tea as possible in a limited time while guiding the truck using the arrow keys that will be seen when you put the arrow on each tile.

For the Treatments mini game, you need to fill as many baskets with ingredients as possible by placing the conveyor belts on the left screen to form a structure that will make the ingredients fall on the basket and not the ventilators.

The game still has the option of changing Jade's clothes, upgrading/purchasing your equipments, making tea, lighting the incense, and the use of jacuzzi. You can't play the game without the different customers with different stress levels.

Spies are also in the game to make the whole experience harder. You need to click on the customer when a thought cloud appears with a black mask. When you don't, you need to fix the dresser room/s, lose some cash on the register and run low on facial masks.

Overall, this game is a bit addicting to finish and can be played by people of all ages.
