Reviews for "Toybox"
Creepy
I've been reading through the reviews before me and pretty much everything I've wanted to say has been said, so I'll just recap what people - and I - seem to think of this game.
It's VERY creepy. The music could be better, but it's pretty good. The atmosphere and art are excellent, even if the story falls a little flat. The patchy memory thing is great, but it's just a little too...plain, I guess.
The difficulty is just messed up. The piano puzzle is frankly insane. I play piano, and I wouldn't have been able to solve that one. You would need perfect pitch, which something like...5% of people have. If the piano actually played, that might be another story.
On a related note, there were at least two puzzles where I needed to write down the answer found in one room in order to use it in another room. Basic memory skills - like the compass - are fine, but memorizing the password? Are you KIDDING ME?
Note to those of you who can't solve the first puzzle. The freaking PI symbol is etched right into the lock! Did you all fail math?
Ahem, sorry about that.
The other thing that bugged me was the lack of indicators. Especially with the secret ending, I inputted what I was supposed to into the item I found and hit the right button, but you gave no indication that it worked, and no way of knowing where to look for the last item.
I think that about covers everything. This is a great game, but I feel like you've fallen into the trap of game design. When you play it yourself, it makes sense because YOU designed it. The rest of us need to jump onto your train of logic first, and if that's left the station, you're going to lose out by leaving us behind.
SECRET ENDING SPOILER****
To get the cell phone to work you have to click on the cell then click it again to get it to turn around to the back, put in the battery. You can now CALL JESUS :)
good
just look at the top of the padlock theres the symbol for pie
huh?
Well I do like point and clicks... but this is just stupid. You need a walkthrough just to get started???
What indication is there of the cipher code for the padlock. It could be any number... of anything... quick... think of a 5 digit code... Duh.....
I hate puzzles where guessing a 5 digit code is the only way...
I even started over and actively looked for indication of the cipher number... none to be found...
I didn't play any further. Following a walkthough is never fun for me.
In the future, if you have a combination, make SOME attempt at letting people figure out what it might be, or at least in the walkthrough show how we were supposed to be able to figure it out.
