There’s no shortage of puzzle games in the Windows Phone store, and Gameloft is back with yet another addition to the genre, called Pastry Paradise. As a player, you’re required to match three or more tasty items to clear them from the map and earn points. It may seem like every other puzzle game out in the wild, but in Pastry Paradise, players can match the items diagonally. You can also send gifts to your friends (because you know everyone loves Facebook game invites), and even compete with them in leader boards.
You also get powerful boosters, such as Freeze Time, Whisk the Board, and more, in case you get stuck on any level. There are many delectable maps, like the Gingerbread Gardens, Wafer Woods, and Mt. Mudcake. You can unlock new maps as you play along, and the process is faster if you do it using help from your friends. If that’s not enough for you, there are daily/weekly events and yummy challenges to test your skills too.
Here’s a list of features as per the Windows Phone Store:
A Delicious Adventure With Chef Bake-offs
- Travel across delectable maps, like the Gingerbread Gardens, Wafer Woods, and Mt. Mudcake.

- Play like no other puzzle game and even swap pastries diagonally for more freedom and strategy.

Make Sweet Friend

This reminds me of King’s Candy Crush Saga, which is by far one of the most popular puzzle games on Android and iOS — the app hasn’t made an official appearance on Windows Phone yet, but there are alternatives live Pastry Paradise and a few others to fill in the void.
The game is available for free in the Windows Phone Store, but it does feature in-app purchases for some items.
