Game overview
Cotton Candy Shop runs a sweet counter where customers arrive with a request and you spin, colour and finish the candy in front of them. The decorating end is where the game spends its attention: colour choices, shapes and toppings that change how the finished order looks. Serving what was actually asked for matters more than making the prettiest thing on the tray.
This title is best suited to younger players who enjoy decorating desserts to order.
