The storyline has been explained by Pennmom,so the game is centred around rescueing her brother from the Witch.
The witch has to be fought every few games, during which she changes cakes to add to difficulty for matching & achieving the goals for the level.
Of course we get up to 3 stars per level, & earn coins to purchase extra moves & some bonuses. Other bonuses can appear through the game.
There are also obstacles, & some cakes can't be matched but can drop off board when others are matched over them.
I really like the colourful graphics, good enough to make me want to head for the local bakery! :)
But if you lose a level, the sister cries very realistically, & after 3 lost levels (which you do replay) she nearly drove me potty.
With repeats of levels after Lvl 4, I played 22 lvls before time was up.
At 1st I thought this was mostly for kids, but it does get a bit tricky after Lvl 3, but not too tricky- every game needs to be a challenge or else boring.
If you like a bit of colour in your life, then give it a try. Show less

I recommend this game!

I don't like limited-moves games, and this one is sometimes, but the darn thing is addicting, so I bought it! lol

I recommend this game!

I liked this game and would have bought it BUT
It has limited moves, not timed but limited.

The music is repetitive and irritating.
The little girl's "yahoo" noise got on my nerves
The witch sounded like a moose in heat.

I liked a lot of the components of this game but had to pass because of the above issues.

I don't recommend this game.

I see what the devs were going for, but they missed the mark by a tiny bit.
Having a limited number of moves when you just want to relax and play a hand, is truly irritating.
Not being able to make enough coins to purchase the extra moves, ruins the fun.
I absolutely love everything gingerbread and candy, so as far as this game goes, I am bummed it wasn't as fun as I was hoping.

I don't recommend this game.

Another sugary sweet Match 3 game with Limited Moves, and some really annoying features! I became so annoyed with the little girl saying whoo who, every time I made a match, and as if that wasn't annoying enough, they had to throw in a witch that kept making all kinds of evil grunts and groans.

Another sugary sweet Match 3 game with Limited Moves, and some really annoying features! I became so annoyed with the little girl saying whoo who, every time I made a match, and as if that wasn't annoying enough, they had to throw in a witch that kept making all kinds of evil grunts and groans. I've never been a fan of Limited Moves Match 3 games, but if they are fun, I'm willing to overlook it, unfortunately this game isn't fun.

The story makes no sense to me at all, a grown woman visits the local candy shop every morning. That's a whole lotta sweets, who goes to a candy store every day much less in the morning? Today however, she sees something new that catches her eye, a gingerbread house. She's struggling to recall what it is about this house that looks familiar, oh yea, she suddenly remembers that as a child her and her brother wandered into the forest and stumbled upon a real Gingerbread House. (okay possible easy to forget) Then the Witch offers them a treat (okay unlikely to forget a witch with her favorite sweets) and lo and behold, it was a trick and the evil witch kidnaps her brother! (extremely unlikely this part isn't memorable)

Before the start of each level, you are given the choice to add Boosters such as 5 extra moves, or a Bomb Blaster. You are also given quests to achieve such as completing levels 4-6 without losing. Once you complete the quest, you must click the "get" icon which will reward you with a Bonus feature available within the level themselves. Each level has different goals, such as making a specific number of matches of whichever tiles, or clearing all graham cracker cells.

As you progress, Bonuses are added that are in limited supply, but more can be purchased with the coins you earn playing the Match 3 games. There are Bombs, Column and Row destroyers, Rockets and bonuses that remove a specific tile. You can earn up to 3 stars, and the levels are re-playable, if you run out of moves you are given the option to add 5 additional moves if you have enough money.

Some of the obstacles and tasks are unique, such as moving saw blades to the bottom of the board to cut a log, or making matches under a rock with an attached rope that allows the rock to hoist the girl to the top of a mountain or well, to rescue the Gingerbread man. There are also tiles that are locked behind waffle cages that require matches of whichever tile is caged. Some levels involve defeating the evil witch who casts a spell after each move, adding tiles that don't move, the only way to remove them is to make adjacent matches around the blocked tiles.

In the end, I just had no desire to continue playing this sticky mess of a Match 3 game, especially when I have to hear all the moans, groans and whoo whoo's. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Was looking for some fun during my winter break. This wasn't it. Annoying characters with annoying noises. Plus you have to purchase extra level-ups in the game? Why would I pay for this?

I don't recommend this game.
