Players keep adding other ingredients based on researcher input until discovering a new sweet creation.īuilding the empire requires good management and multi-tasking skills. The researcher will cross out anything that doesn’t work, much like in the game Mastermind. When enough ingredients become available to make something, players click various ingredients and run a taste test. Players pick up recipe ideas in their travels based on clues from conversations with characters.

Players also now earn bonuses for correctly matching ingredient colors.Īfter players buy the new chocolate tasting lab, the researcher accepts one sack of every ingredient into the lab for creating new recipes. Depending on the product, the patterns will be more intricate as the recipes get more advanced. They could move in a simple straight line or weave in and out. Instead, the circles move in different ways on the production line. For example, the basic chocolate square calls for cacao and sugar, so to create the chocolate players must shoot one cacao and one sugar into each circle – messing up and putting, for example, two sugars ino the circles would result in a penalty.Ĭhocolatier 2 improves the ingredient shooting arcade feature by eliminating the rotating circles, which made some players dizzy. One of the least favorite features in the original was the arcade portion where players shot a recipe’s ingredients into rotating circles. The recipe book contains room for 72 recipes for to obtain, which you’ll be able to manufacture in six factories, and sell in four shops across the world. Meet the right people and they’ll reveal hidden ports for purchasing rare and secret ingredients. Ports also have animated scenes to bring them to life.Īnother sweet addition is the laboratory where players can invent their own products ranging from sauces and pralines to truffles and exotics.

This new feature keeps the visits to the 20 cities – including Buenos Aires, Paris, and Bombay – from turning tedious, as you never know who you’ll meet or what new building you’ll discover. As time passes, these and other buildings start popping up, giving players new opportunities to explore. The Golden Gate Bridge (completed in 1937) and Empire State Building (completed in 1931) don’t appear at the start of the game.
