Other Things

Tasks

You receive tasks, basically quests in most other games, which appear on the left hand side of the screen. You can skip tasks using gems.

Select the blue task buttons to receive instructions on what you must do. Finishing tasks will earn you both Coins and the all-important Experience points.

Medals

Medals act as an additional incentive for completing tasks and objectives in Bakery Story. You can examine all the possible badges for you to earn by hitting the 'Main' button in the button right of the screen. Following this, select the 'Messages' option and then 'Medals'. Here, you can see Bronze and Silver medals, which earn you valuable Experience points. Once you complete an entire objective, you get the motherload: a Gold medal. Each one will earn you 1 gem. This may not sound like much (and indeed, it isn't really), but when you bear in mind that it costs money to purchase Gems otherwise, you will come to rely on these medals.

Profile

You can see how well you are doing at Bakery Story by accessing your Profile. To do this, go to the 'Menu' option in the bottom left of the screen, then select 'Messages' and finally 'Profile'. This shows you all of your progress and achievements in the game so far.

In this menu you are able to set the name of your bakery, as well as changing your avatar details. You are able to see a clearer depiction of just what level you are, how much experience you have to get in order to reach the next one, your neighbors and the happiness of your customers.

Screenshots

You can take a screenshot of anything in the game, and upload it to Facebook, or save it to your device.  Put the screen in the location you want to take a picture of, and then click the camera image in the top right hand corner. You will then be given a box, showing you exactly what will be captured in the screenshot. You can still move the screen at this point, to get that perfect shot. Hit the camera icon at the bottom right this time to finally take the image. You can view it before deciding whether to keep and publish it.

To save the image to your iPhone/iPad etc. simply select the 'Save to Photos' option. You will then be able to view the image at any time by visiting the Photos section. You can also publish the image to Facebook, where it will be placed in a special Bakery Story album, by hitting the 'Publish to Facebook' option. Obviously you must have logged into Facebook in Bakery Story at the main menu, and then settings, for this feature to function.

Taking screenshots is a good way to allow you to be able to look back on your bakery and see how it evolved (and how many gems you spent getting there!).

Settings

There are many settings that you can change for Bakery Story. You can set notifications for when you are not playing the game, and connect to Facebook for integration with the social network.

Bugs and Glitches

There are a few reported glitches or bugs with Bakery Story, though the game is regularly updated by TeamLava. If you ever find anything unusual or encounter any serious problems, the best tactic is to uninstall and then reinstall Bakery Story.

Restart your device and you will then be able to push the globe icon at the bottom right of the keyboard to use the new feature.
