Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Gingerbread Story
I spent a few hours with Gingerbread Story expecting standard match-3 busywork, but the game leans harder into narrative and combat than the genre typically does. You're matching candies, cookies, and jellies across levels while following Lisa, Tommy, and Gingy through a quest that actually has dialogue and plot beats. Boss encounters add a real stakes layer to what could've been a mindless progression treadmill. The puzzle design itself is competent if unremarkable, standard cascades and special piece combos, but the variety in modes and the steady drip of narrative keeps it from feeling stale across a campaign. If you want match-3 with something resembling a reason to care beyond just numbers going up, this delivers. It's not reinventing the wheel, but it's a solid, low-pressure option for a relaxing evening.
