I usually like these games
But if I couldn't complete the game without a walk through. I felt like I wasn't even playing because the whole time I used the walk through
Reviews for "Toybox"
crap
This game turns shitty from the very beggining with that gay ass combo lock. WTF? You expected us to count to 3 thousand something in order to get past the first screen? What kind of bullshit is that? In point and clicks you give CLUES that lead you to unlock things like combo locks. You seriously cant expect us to crack the freakin lock with no clues (thats something you do when your desperate), thats just a freakin joke. I had to restart the game cuz i thought I had some bug that was not letting me turn around, then after that I was really puzzled. I randomly clicked on wood planks for like 10 min until i finnaly broke down and looked at the walkthru only to find that YOU FREAKIN EXPECTED US TO CRACK THE LOCK!!! That really just astounded me, its like you had never played a click and point before making this. Then with the piano.... wtf was that? the piano didnt hit any notes it just made a thumping sound... I still dont know how the recorder gave any clues as to how to solve that little puzzle. I assume what you had to do was match the notes with the piano keys but I cant be sure because I DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE FREAKIN PIANO! How the hell do you expect an average person to be able to match the tone on the recorder to a buch of random keys that make no similar noises? You just expect them to know which keys go with what? Its a bunch of crap. Your really need to play some point and clicks because you have no concept of how to put one together. You need to have CLUES, you cant expect somone to have fun by forcing them to go to the walkthough because its impossible to figure out otherwise. That doesnt mean you have to make it easy but... come on, at least make it possible. The only constructive critisizm I can give is to just play some click and points. Get a better feel for how they are made. Probly the best one ever made is "the doors", play that one, get some ideas from it, and better luck next time.
not good
the piano part is pretty much impossible for me and the walk through for it is awful!
I agree with Cujoedaman.
Everything he saidwas what I wanted to say. The puzzles aren't puzzling. They are poorly thought, constructed and deployed. You need clues for use to find your clues. I tried to get through it without out a walk through, like I do with all games I play online, but this one was different. After 15 minutes of looking for clues, I was left with no option but to use the walk through. Happily I discoverd that I wasn't being impatient or stupid with my choices, because looking for clues is better the trying a random combintaion, of which there are 9,999 choices for that lock.
The brick puzzles was ofcourse near impossible to discover without the walk through. No one would think to try clicking on a brick there. Unless someone ran around clicking all over the place and discovered it randomly, there is almost no finding it.
You can't assume that everyone in the world has an IQ of 200, or have psycic powers of some sort. I am usually GREAT at these point-and-click games, so for me to find it difficult, there must be something that needs fixing. (And no, I wasn't bragging.)
Work on your clues, simplify things, and make the puzzles possible.
worst piece of crap ever
impossible 2 do without walkthrough even the walkthrough is hard 2 understand
