Could have been good but nope.
Game is short, the bonus level is a prequel that i don't care about (because knowing the ending of a story in advance kill my interest). Nothing is related to MCF except the name. Puzzles and hos are ok, the rest is boring and made for kids.
I received this game as a gift - will never have bought it. I gave up on MCF a long time ago.
I don't recommend this game.

The développer change the difficulty of this series at the third game and this one is exactly the same : over-boring with absolutely no challenge. You could do each level without any strategy or thinking at all. I play strategy games for the effort i have to put in it and time management games for the challenge of beating the clock. Yes i selected hard mode and its pitiful. At least, don't put it as an option, it's more insulting than anything.
For any players with a basic experience of those games you will not find anything interesting in it - pass your way.
I don't recommend this game.

The first two installments were good because they were challenging - not this one. I finished the levels with plenty of time and it killed all the fun. I play time management to beat the timer not for the story or for the trophies. Don't know why the developers feel the needs to change a perfect gameplay.
The owls are too easy to spot and the arcade shooting bonus levels are not doable - i play on a laptop with a mouse not a joystick !! So this one could be good for beginners but for those who wants a challenging game pass your way...
I don't recommend this game.

Well, this is not a good time management game for many reasons. My first grievance concern the level of challenge. Its sooooo easy - and yes i selected HARD mode. The AI have problems: asking only few type of products in each level, no random replay - it's always de same pattern. This make the gameplay repetitive and boring.
My second problem are the bugs : no fluidity, crashing, frozen screen and the worst - level 54 at the end is not achievable and i mean really Not ACHIEVABLE in hard mode. Since the AI is defective the replay it does not affect the issue.
The story is interesting BUT in the middle of it, without significative developments BANG the "2b continued" pop up in the screen. That's it ? Wow, the game in not only easy but super short. With a no ending ... this really pisse* me off.
They copy the Emily's game model but those games are challenging with a great story, no bugs, provide a long gameplay and the story have an end. So i'm gonna replay them all and have a fun moment for a while : )
I don't recommend this game.

I love the first game of this series ! It was well done with great graphics, a cute story and the challenge was perfect. But not for this one. The devs have leveling down the difficulty and the game is too easy. No challenge except for the bonus levels. The game is also short so the collector don't worth it.
The reason i play strategy or time management games is for the challenge and to beat the 3 stars so even if the game is well done i'm not interested.
Sad because good TM are rare ...
I don't recommend this game.

I love this game ! It's well done with great graphics and a cute story. The music and the sounds are not annoying and the challenge is perfect : )
The game is short, and the collector bonus are not worth it. Only one more restaurant. But good TM are rare so this one is a good purchase with a BOGO sale !
Happy Gaming ♡

I played the first Tearstone 10 years ago and even at this this time is was an average game.
Nothing have change with this new offer. The graphics are most of the time mediocre, only a few scene worth it. They are very dark and fuzzy. Very few puzzles, some are more weird than interesting. The story is childish with a basic plot. The hos are super ugly and made in an old fashion way. The game is short, with some collectibles and a prequel bonus level that was not interesting. Bad coding on top of that: sounds problems, bad voices over, slow transition etc.
I played a ton of games in my life and this game have nothing new, nothing great and nothing to justify a five stars. With years now of cookie cutter games, the crowd seems excited for the most tiny "out of the box" thing even if it's super bad.
Better to do the Demo in this situation because you might be surprised - and not in a good way. ್ ﹏ ್
I don't recommend this game.

A timer is a no go for me. I want to use my brain while relaxing with a good Match3. Moves option can provide great challenge with all the time you need to complete a level.
The rest of the game is ok but could have been better. The tiles are way to small.
Better luck next time devs.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is one of the best i've played in a while...
The artwork is not only beautiful but meaningful, perfectly in tune with the story. The characters are lovely and well drawn. The gameplay is interesting and full of mini-games with great hos. The music is beautiful and goes well with the love theme. The bonus chapter is good and the length of the game was ok. The only minus are the voices over : some are ugly to listen and they should drop the american accent.
This series is my favorite - i own all the titles and it's one of the best on this site. Thanks to the devs for their amazing work.
Happy Gaming ♥
I recommend this game!

I love it, even if the game needs improvements. For many years now the value of the games here have decrease a lot and our expectations proportionally too. The effort is there, to give something different with some new features. Innovative ? Absolutely not. Any long time gamer will not find anything new here, but the game is fun and well done.
I like the graphics, they are modern and minimalist. The mini games are good and some are challenging. The soc are easy but well done. The collectibles are not easy to spot - that's what i like. The bonus chapter is good. The story is the weakest point of the game : it's absolutely NOT SCARY and the monster thing is ridiculous.
I wish they get ride of all this childish monstery, ghosts, greeny blizzard thing - it's so babyish ... Murders, insanity, injustice, and manipulations are everywhere in this mad world - they just have to look on the net to find some ideas ...
I recommend this game!
