Disclaimer: This review is based off of the demo and what few levels I could stand before I had to quit.
I'll start with what I liked about the game. As always with this series, I enjoyed the graphics and the art style. The story line seemed promising, and in a better environment I would have been interested enough to keep playing.
However, that's about all I liked about the game. The actual levels, at least in the beginning, was set to absolutely no music, only the occasional sound of a distant ocean, making everything seem more dull. Even in the beginning, you could never catch a break directing the nonstop flow of investigators to the two spots they all wanted to go. Minigames were unforgiving and uninteresting. I just really couldn't keep playing and spend any more time on this game.
Overall, I did not at all enjoy this game. Maybe it's someone else's cup of tea, but it just felt much less interesting than other games from this developer.
I don't recommend this game.

Way Too Challenging Right Off The Bat!

First off, I loved the original show when it was on the air. This was really reminiscent of that! The opening song definitely brought me back to when I would watch this at home with my siblings when I was younger :)
However, goodness is this game hard! After a few little cutscenes (with some funny dialogue) you're immediately shoved into such a difficult level right off the bat! Customers just kept coming in, even when you have a ton of orders already up. On top of it all, there's an extra time-consuming task you have to do, too.
This isn't my first time playing a time management by any sense, and even still, I had to play it nearly 4 times to finish the task and get all three stars! Sure, if I wasn't a perfectionist I could have accepted it and moved on, but it really shouldn't have been that difficult from the get-go, at least in my opinion.
Other than that, this game was incredibly beautiful to look at, and I loved the music! The dialogue was also really funny at parts. Would love to play more, though it might be much too difficult for my perfectionistic self :)
Would recommend to anyone looking for a huge challenge!
I recommend this game!

This game was another great addition to the Delicious series! The graphics were cute and charming as always, and the background music was pleasing to listen to. I loved the food aesthetics of this one, with the fruit salads and the other dishes, everything looked so tasty! Storyline was also humorous and heartwarming, and the gameplay was just the right level of challenging.
Overall a fantastic game, definitely would recommend!

Another great game in the Jewel Match series! The graphics are beautiful as always. The art for the board and the pieces are gorgeous to look at, and the music was pleasing to the ears. It made playing the actual game much more enjoyable. And speaking of the game, I loved the new rooms and features of this game, though it still has the same familiar mechanics. I was hooked!
Overall, I definitely would recommend this game. Perfect addition for any Jewel Match fans!

This is my first time playing a game from this series, so some of my review points might just be aspects of the series that I'm unfamiliar with.
Firstly, I have to say that right off the bat I thought the visuals were fantastic. The backdrops were almost wallpaper worthy, and made the minigames and hidden object scenes more enjoyable. :)
However, I thought this game was way too challenging. Now, I'm not one to shy away from a good puzzle, but even at the beginning there were a few minigames that I got absolutely STUMPED on! The skip button became my best friend, haha.
The storyline was decent. At least from the demo, it didn't really seem like anything too out of the ordinary, but I still felt intrigued enough to keep going. Maybe it's just me.
Overall, I thought this was a good game! Though maybe I'd recommend making it less challenging, lol.
I recommend this game!

Where to begin? This was a fantastic no-stress TM game, helped by its lack of timer and its relaxing music. I enjoyed how much freedom the game gave you with your flowerbeds, giving you the choice of where to dig one and what flowers to plant.
I enjoyed just how much creativity was put into this game. I liked the orders customers had, that added a nice challenge to the game, although there wasn't much challenge otherwise. The ability to crossbreed flowers to create new ones was a great touch, though.
Overall it was a lovely game that I would definitely recommend!

To preface this, I likely made the mistake of having a sequel be my first game in a series. I saw that it was popular on the TM category page and didn't think twice about story continuation, or how perhaps it would have been better to experience the game style from the beginning.
Regardless, I'll try to do my best at a review despite such circumstances. Firstly, I'll start with what I liked about the game. I thought the gameplay visuals were absolutely beautiful. I didn't have any problems with the music, either. It was pleasant and seemed to fit the theme well.
However, I unfortunately wasn't very intrigued or interested in the gameplay. At first I thought clearing the path was just a pre-game minigame of sorts, but as I kept playing I realized that was the game. Sure, it's a time management, and it likely would get better the further on you played. However, it just didn't click with me. I didn't enjoy playing what few levels I did.
If not for these mechanics, I would've played for the story to find out what happened, though at face value it felt a bit cliche. Overall, I didn't enjoy this game.
I don't recommend this game.

What a great game! I couldn't put it down, from the tutorial to the end of the demo hour. Though it wasn't very challenging, it was a great change of pace from the high stress of other TM games.
This game had appealing graphics, and, for the most part, engaging music and sounds. My only complaint is that a few of the sound effects were a bit grating and not easy on the ears, but the music was pleasant to listen to as I played.
The game mechanics were a bit simplistic, but this made it easy to slip into a nice rhythm as the game went on. Basically you're building houses to generate profit and complete goals, and it was a relaxing game to feel accomplished at.
Overall, I enjoyed this game!
I recommend this game!

I got excited about finding a Pac-Man TM game, since I love TM games and remember playing Pac-Man as a kid. The opening sequence of this game with the manga-style comic was really appealing in art style, and though the story was a bit ridiculous, it was still a charming intro to the game.
However, when the actual game started I lost interest almost immediately. Firstly, the sound effects are much too loud compared to the rest of the game at a normal volume. Though the in-game graphics remained appealing to look at, I already felt a bit disoriented from the get go.
The game mechanics felt like somewhat of an homage to the original Pac-Man games, with Pac-Man moving across the screen to pick up items for customers, but overall they were much too clunky and difficult to maneuver. I also felt like the difficulty level went up way too fast to keep up with, and it just felt way too overwhelming.
Overall, this game wasn't my cup of tea, and I could barely get through the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was fantastic! I got hooked by the first level, I couldn't put it down! (At least not until the end of the free trial!) I was pleasantly surprised by how steadily it became more challenging, instead of the usual dramatic increase in difficulty found in other TM games.
The actual game itself had the usual TM mechanics, but I got into the rhythm of the game better thanks to the steady difficulty increase. I liked how you could buy upgrades to the shop to make new recipes, rather than the game automatically introducing them and making it more difficult. It was nice to be able to go at your own pace, for the most part.
The graphics and music in this game just made it all the more enjoyable. Overall, I recommend this game!
