This is different from what I usually play. I am having fun with the variety of games (I have never in my 70+ years been in a bingo hall). Lost a star for the opening and closing palm fronds between every scene. Over the top IMO.
I recommend this game!

Christmas Stories: A Christmas Carol
Everyone deserves a second chance – even the stingiest of them all.
I loved pllaying this as far as I could go. Most of the way through (too far to restart) was great. Like some of the other players I could not make the skating boy work. I tried for several days, got suggestions from other players and tried again but Tiny Tim will not survive in my computer. Uninstalling.
I have all this series and some are better than others. This one was a hot mess from the malfunctioning Toymaster to the identical octagon puzzle picture following it. I found many of the scenes dark and items very small with some, not marked in red, hidden behind other things. This will probably be the last one I will buy. Do recommend it for those new to the series.
I have not played the first three of this series so I can't determine if there have been changes over time. I enjoyed the features that are different from other M3s like the metal squares that morph into rocks that are destructible. The one thing I don't like was that wherever my cursor landed the block changed to grey. I find that very distracting. Overall though it's a pleasant time passer. Try it. It's kind of expensive for an M3.
Based on demo only. I am enjoying this game because 30 minutes in I haven't had to do any tasks that have been in almost every game in the last year. I am not a puzzle person so the simplicity and difference of those in this game is refreshing. I don't have to do an auto skip on every one.
Despite the rave reviews I could not complete even one picture due to eye strain. Some of the areas were too small to contain a number so I had to search with the cursor. The variety of pictures was good.
The first puzzle in the demo worked well. After I purchased (at least it was on sale) I tried a second puzzle and half the pieces were hidden by the top and bottom banners. I was able to pick at it and get some of the pieces moved but was not able to pick them all up so unable to complete the puzzle.
I'm going with a solid 4 star rating. The storyline while maybe not too original is a nice change from dark monsters, murder and mayhem, and the graphics are nice and clear. I'm not familiar with TellTale developers - it will be interesting to see if we get more games from them. My reasons for deducting a star are minor but annoying. The graphics in the task and hint area extend too far into the main body of the scene and it's too easy to click on them and the text on the notes is very small and difficult to read.
I didn't have trouble downloading,playing or purchasing, with points used (brought game to half price). I am so happy to have a new fresh game to play as I'm not purchasing Do (Domini) games at this time and I really like Friendly Fox and hope they continue to be able to produce their games.
This game is so like my favourite, Runefall I had high hopes I'd like it especially since I can't play Runefall 2 on my PC. When I realized there were limited moves even in relaxed mode I was sorely disappointed. Also the game field was too big to allow for decent matches in the bonus match. Just too many things going on for me to relax and enjoy.
