Gold Time: (North) Cake Street 1

Starting off with $9900, you need to get 1 cake, 1 steak, and 1 milk in 2:20.
  1. Buy a chicken. Send your plane off to pick up 1 sugar.
  2. Bears will land; catch them, and send one off to market. Store the other in the warehouse.
  3. Once the chicken lays an egg, start processing it through the factories. When the truck returns from market, you can send it back out with the second bear, and your chicken.
  4. When your truck gets back the second time, you'll have enough money for a cow. Buy it.
  5. Once the cow makes milk, send the cow AND milk to market.
  6. This brings in $6000, enough for a pig plus a Meat Cutter (upgraded to Level 2). Build the factory, process a ham, and you should finish JUST in time.
Aside from the initial bears, don't put any in the warehouse. When you are trying to pick up milk from the cow, you'll need the warehouse space!

  1. What worked for me was waiting and selling first two bears before buying anything. Then you buy 1 sugar and the cow when your truck comes back. When you get your milk, send it and the cow to market. When your truck comes back, buy the pig and chicken. When you get the egg, begin processing it. After you have the powdered egg, buy the meat plant and upgrade it one time. Begin processing your meat and continue processing your egg until you get cake.

    2. Something similar worked for me. I sold the first bear (can't fit 2 in the warehouse), then bought the cow. I sold the 2nd bear, while the cow was producing the milk. When the truck returned, I bought a chicken, sold the cow and the milk and bought some flour. When the truck returned again, I bought a pig. When the egg has been made into powdered egg, I bought the meat plant and processed the pork. The pork and the cake finished at the same time (2.03).

  3. I worked and worked at this. The first approach is what worked for me (the 2nd approach doesn't for me, because I can't sell BOTH of the first two bears at the same time without upgrading the warehouse). The culprit, as it turned out, was my placement of the GRASS!! I've always placed it low on the board, out of the way of falling bears. My animals would often need to spend precious seconds running down towards the grass before eating. When I got wise and placed the grass in a 'plus' pattern (three vertically up the middle, one to each side), the animals ate much more quickly, and voila - I finally beat the level, lol.
