A cute little puzzle game that is all about those sugary treats. Divided into 12 chapters, a new mechanic is regularly introduced, explored, and puzzle after puzzle something new gets added, and just when it starts to slowly but surely feel a bit draggy, the next mechanic is already introduced. The clever puzzles are a great icing one the donut, while the charming presentation and dialogues are sugar sprinkles on top of it. As another blob of cream, the donut factories get more diffucult in a well balanced pacing, while everything is pretty smooth at the beginning, it gets much more challenging later on without ever getting too hard.

So why not throw a cherry on top as well? Well, somehow Freshly Frosted could use a bit more depth. And even though everything is really competently done, the game as a whole doesn't offer much new that we don't already know from similar titles. But that doesn't change the fact that Freshly Frosted is a treat for all puzzle-loving donut fans.
