With everything going on lately, many of us are looking to find games that are lighter fare. You know... something that will scratch a fun, nostalgic Mario Party mini-game itch. Thankfully, we can get a taste of Cake Bash -- a multiplayer minigame collection -- in a brand new demo, slated to launch alongside Steam Summer Game Festival on June 16th.

If you haven't heard of Cake Bash, the game is a collection of food-oriented mini-games (seen in the newly revealed announcement trailer, below). The new demo is going to give players a chance to test out the four-player local multiplayer on the two recently announced modes ("Sweet Victory" and "Fruity Pie") as well as two brand new modes: "Fork Knife: Gateau Royale" and "Campfire." According to developer High Tea Frog, the new modes are exactly what they might sound like -- Gateau Royale is their take on a shrinking Battle Royal-type mode, where "Campfire" is a minigame around roasting the perfect marshmallow.

There's a lot to love about this small, indie project -- including that it is created by Ubisoft veterans. But (personally) I'm just looking for a game that will scratch a minigame itch that's been lacking in this weird, weird year of gaming.

Cake Bash launches on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One later this year; if you are looking to dive into some of the dessert action, you can try out the game beginning June 16, 2020 on Steam.

Updated: Valve has announced that the Steam Summer Game Festival has been moved from June 9, 2020 to June 16, 2020 -- the story above has been updated to reflect that.
