Toby: The Secret Mine

It's buggy, frustrating, and not a puzzle game. I can literally overlook some minor bugs and the simple artwork, even it's mostly inspired by Limbo. But when the puzzles don't require any degree of thinking or problem solving, it just becomes another copycat 2D puzzle-platformer. If it's platforming related, don't make the mechanics so clunky. If it's puzzle related, the puzzles should be satisfying to solve, not just about finding a hidden object behind an obstacle or other boring stuff like pressing the correct buttons that they r totally RNG without any clue. I hate the arrow-shooting room. There is no way to know where the arrows are coming from before activating the trap. The only way to learn the correct route is to trigger it, die, and then you know where you're supposed to go and how you're supposed to avoid them. I also hate the red desert bugs that come from underground. It feels like they were supposed to be traps, but they're not. You just have to dodge them with clunky mechanics. There are also some traps that instantly activate spikes and kill you as soon as you step on them. You die no matter what because you can't even see the platform that triggers them. It literally blends into the environment, hidden among the columns and the ground. You have to die to these traps just to learn what you're supposed to do. I hate when a puzzle game with clunky mechanics kills you in cheesey ways and then acts like you "fell into a trap." No, I didn't. I couldn't see any trap. There was no thinking involved. You just made puzzles are built around dying based trial and error rather than actual problem solving. And i m not even gonna mention about the RNG bombs at the final section. It's overall bored me but that might be because of my expectations were different for a 2D puzzle platformer; otherwise, it seemed like a game with potential.

It's designed like a rage game that requires a lot of patience and trial & error. There are deadly things popping up everywhere without warning. Everything is dark and hard to see even with my monitor brightness at max. One section had platforms that were only barely visible. Has bugs including soft locks & slow-down that requires re-launching. Also, it has an uncapped framerate; this game doesn't need 600+ fps but it runs at it. Music is very lame with only a few notes on loop in some areas.

Short and simple platformer, nothing really stands out about it. Crashes often at starting, and if you turn on/off controller when it's running. Still has bugs in it and rage baiting mechanisms that were funny at times but not worth it

Derivative clone of Limbo with cheap, trial-and-error traps and braindead "puzzles." Uninstalled less than two hours in.
