About this game
Cupcake Mania is a match-3 puzzle game where players clear levels by matching cupcakes. The game features a progression system with challenges and power-ups, but an energy system can limit play sessions. While generally enjoyable, some players report issues with saving progress and a lack of freebies at higher levels.
