We admit it: Not only Chief Wiggum from the Simpsons, but We at GameStar also like to eat donuts. If there's a box on the kitchen table here in the editorial office, you can be sure that its contents won't last long. There are too many people with a sweet tooth in our team.

If you love donuts like we do, then it's worth taking a look at the current free game in the Epic Games Store. Because like every week, Steam's competitor is giving away a free gift. This time there's a relaxing factory puzzler.

Freshly Frosted – The trailer for the sugary donut dream

Genre: puzzle game | Release: June 2022 | Developer: The Quantum Astrophysicist Guild

The premise of Freshly Frosted is very simpleImagine a donut factory floating in the clouds. You have to manage this factory and make sure that the donuts find their way through the factory from the beginning to the end of the production chain.

But managing is perhaps a big word here, because Freshly Frosted is not an economic simulationRather, the puzzler is simply about organizing the conveyor belts so that there are no obstacles in the way of the sweet donuts and everyone gets the right topping. After all, there should be a donut for all tastes.

To challenge your urge to optimize, Freshly Frosted comes with 144 puzzles. You place dividers, pushers and teleporters and select all kinds of different ingredients and donut shapes. As is typical for the genre, the game is aimed primarily at casual players and those who are simply looking for a little distraction while playing.

Admittedly, Epic isn't launching anything major this week. However, we can hardly expect to be constantly blessed with high-caliber AAA titles like Dragon Age: Inquisition, like we were just a few weeks ago.

If there was nothing for you this time, just come back next week when the next game gift arrives.
