\"\"<\/a>Get ready for another sweet free-to-play match three puzzle game for mobile devices (reviewed on iPad here).\u00a0 If you\u2019ve ever played Candy Crush, you know what to expect here.\u00a0 Except this one has more of a baked goods confectionery theme.\u00a0 Slide shaped colored cookies to match three or more to complete objectives before you run out of moves.\u00a0 If you do run out of moves, you\u2019ll lose a heart and have to start the level over.<\/p>\n

Objectives in each level include matching cookies to clear out waffles from underneath them, or breaking ice to free popsicles or gummy worms.\u00a0 Or you may have to match special energy cookies to help an ice cream cone get to his truck, or match cookies next to scoops of ice cream to clear them away.\u00a0 Match four or more cookies to make a new sweet treat to help you clear out even more things in the levels.\u00a0 When you beat levels, you\u2019ll earn stars.\u00a0 Get enough stars and you\u2019ll earn baking ingredients.\u00a0 Use these baking ingredients to make desserts, and after waiting about 30 minutes, you\u2019ll finish them.\u00a0 Make enough of these desserts to craft new balloons which take you around the map.\u00a0 Every few days, you can utilize a power from these balloons to help you pass levels.<\/p>\n

Usually in these types of games, once you run out of hearts you must wait a while for them to refill, and it gets pretty hard very quickly, forcing you to spend money to progress.\u00a0 While you still must wait for your lives to refill in this game, too, they are very generous with power-ups.\u00a0 Most days I can get one that gives me unlimited lives for an hour, or gives me power-ups when I win.\u00a0 So there wasn\u2019t too many times where I had to wait to play.\u00a0 The game does get hard around stage 70 or so, but that\u2019s not bad either.\u00a0 This is certainly one of the better match three puzzlers you can play.\u00a0 Just don\u2019t play this game if you\u2019re on a diet, as you might get hungry for a sweet treat afterwards!<\/p>\n

Also, this game isn\u2019t entirely new, and usually I only review new games and try to avoid reviewing too many of these same-y games.\u00a0 But the makers of this one sent me a care package so I decided to throw them a bone.\u00a0 But I\u2019ll share one of the things they sent me with you!\u00a0 Here\u2019s a cookie recipe they sent me, pictured below.\u00a0 Might be a fun thing to do with your kids over the Christmas break.<\/p>\n
