Game overview
Rainbow Cotton Candy starts at the shop rather than the machine. You buy the sugar and colourings you need, set them up at the cotton candy machine, then spin the floss and layer the colours so the finished cone comes out in bands rather than a muddle. Getting a clean rainbow means adding one colour at a time and letting it wrap before the next goes in, which is the only real skill here.
This title is best suited to younger players who enjoy simple food-making games.
