Introduction
Toby: The Secret Mine is a puzzle-platformer inspired yesteryear the likes of LIMBO in addition to Nihilumbra. The residents of a pocket-sized hamlet hold been kidnapped yesteryear someone in addition to you, Toby, create up one's mind to acquire out after them inward an endeavour to rescue your beau villagers from this evil somebody who has taken them. Your journeying to notice the residents volition accept yous through several dissimilar landscapes in addition to forcefulness yous to human face up many traps in addition to dangers along the way.
Presentation
Toby’s fine expertise manner is somewhere betwixt that of LIMBO in addition to Feist, taking LIMBO’s bleak foreground in addition to adding a splash of color inward the background to create the diverse landscapes yous notice yourself in. This fine expertise manner industrial plant good for this form of game every bit tin live seen inward the other games I’ve already mentioned in addition to Toby is no exception. The characters in addition to objects throughout the game all await actually skillful in addition to the splash of color I mentioned before adds some vibrancy to the game, making it a footling less despressing than LIMBO for example.
Gameplay
Toby is really much focused on the puzzles yous come up across throughout the game though it does hold to a greater extent than of an adventure game experience to it at times.
The puzzles tin live dissever into 2 categories. You hold what are effectively precisely obstacles that yous call for to hold out out how to acquire around/past in addition to yous hold to a greater extent than traditional puzzles such every bit looking out for symbols on a degree in addition to hence putting them inward the correct society after on to opened up a doorway. Both of these vary inward difficulty across the game though they are mostly harder the farther into the game yous are. I’ll rest relatively cryptic to avoid spoilers but solutions to puzzles/obstacles are oftentimes hidden inward the levels in addition to yous oftentimes flounder upon them yesteryear accident, personally I quite liked this though I imagine others won’t. Some obstacles felt really much luck-based, something I didn’t like. What practice I hateful yesteryear this? Sometimes to acquire yesteryear an obstruction yous hold to ‘do something’ at a specific second which is made hard yesteryear the principal character’s ho-hum movement.
As I mentioned before the game does hold an adventure game experience to it at times. Obviously the levels aren’t completely jam-packed amongst puzzles in addition to obstacles hence you’ll sometimes notice yourself only walking around for a few seconds, maybe crossing some platforms etc. While these sections aren’t peculiarly exciting they practice reach yous a skillful chance to relish the game’s locations in addition to visuals.
Controls
One of the most of import parts of a platforming game is how good the game controls. Toby is somewhat medium inward this section since the controls are reasonably responsive but Toby himself moves quite slowly. This isn’t actually an consequence for around 70% of the game but it’s when yous come up to the form of obstacles that I mentioned before where timing is fundamental that this tin acquire somewhat frustrating, forcing yous to retry sections several times before you’re able to act on.
I did hold an consequence where pausing the game would brand whatsoever command inputs (after un-pausing) acquire out from the degree dorsum to the principal menu. However, this seems to live an consequence that exclusively I encountered hence I wouldn’t anxiety well-nigh it likewise much.
Audio
Toby’s sound effects in addition to soundtrack are skillful throughout. The soundtrack ever fits nicely amongst what’s going on inward the game in addition to there’s some somewhat dramatic music played during sure scenes that coteries a dainty atmosphere for said scenes. Some traps hold sound cues attached to them which gives yous a lead chances to avoid them, patch non all of them hold this it’s dainty to hold a footling assistance every hence often.
Miscellaneous
Toby: The Secret Mine is made yesteryear a solo developer amongst the assistance of a freelance player in addition to artist. Considering it’s such a pocket-sized grouping of people working on this game it’s handsome impressive that they’ve made what they’ve made.
There are twenty-six levels for yous to enjoy, it’s hard to tell how long the game takes to consummate since how long each degree takes for yous to consummate depends on how skillful yous are at the game (or how evil inward my case).
Verdict
Worth Purchasing.
Toby: The Secret Mine is a skillful puzzle-platformer game amongst nifty visuals in addition to challenging gameplay, made yesteryear precisely 3 people. While it may non live every bit skillful every bit some of the games it’s inspired yesteryear Toby is a firm improver to the genre.
