Lost Toys App Reviews

Nice graphics but pretty monotonous game. Same puzzle over and over it seems. Wish I didnt waste my money

I really wanted to like this - but but was bored and irritated by the 4th puzzle. Wish I hadnt bought it.

So the price is a little high , cause first game made by this small developer , its very challenging watch out not as easy as it looks,

This game walks the fine line between tough and teaching, and really strives to be a different type of puzzle game.

Loved the concept and the graphics, but I found the controls very sticky; this ruined the whole experience. I knew how I wanted to spin the pieces, they just wouldnt respond. Very disappointing.

I liked how by doing the rubix cube like puzzles you bring the wooden toys alive. And the piano music is great

Would love this game if there were unlimited tries so you could really get into each toy. As it is you only get a max of 3 or 4 turns then you have to start over again. Very frustrating!

The game is very challenging and beautifully done! I like that you can either be limited in your moves or change to unlimited until you are able to complete the toy. My complaint is that I completed all the chapters and received all the Bonus points but NOT the points for completing the chapter.

This is a beautiful game but its also incredibly boring, dont waste your time.

Beautiful graphics. Beautiful music. Beautiful puzzles. Beautiful touch controls. In short, a triple A game not to be missed.

I love the presentation... Very slick and atmospheric. The puzzles seem simple enough at first, just rotate the pieces of broken toys to fix them, but it soon becomes nicely challenging. Cool concept.

Much better now that there is an unlimited turn mode. Thank you!! Great game!!

I was introduced to this game at the SXSW game expo. Of all the games I played & saw, this is the only game that I downloaded as soon as I walked away. Very addicting & age appropriate for all ages.

This app is very complicated and very fun I completely recommend this

Brutal

I had to mute all sounds in order to turn off that piano music. Then I played for about an hour before deleting the game. The game functions like a virtual Rubiks cube, but with fewer than 3 x 3 x 3 pieces to manipulate. The first couple puzzles were 2x2x1. By the time I quit, I was up to 3 x 3 x 1. I actually own a 3x3x1 mini Rubiks cube, so I should have been able to do those puzzles more easily. But as others have mentioned, not knowing what the final shape will look like, and having the whole puzzle spin when you meant to make a move, or accidentally pushing the reset button – all of those make the game frustrating, rather than fun. I want to support developers for trying something interesting or unique, but I have to give an honest review before people spend their money on (what I consider) a failed experiment. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the game with kind of similar mechanics: Cogs HD. I cant list all the ways that that game worked, but I would recommend that people give that one a try if youre looking to do some 3-D puzzle solving. One final note: early reviews of this game mentioned the strict limit on number of moves. The developers, wisely, IMO, removed that restriction. So you know can take as many moves as you want, trying to solve the puzzles. However, I found the puzzles to be nearly identical, and not very fun, like visiting someone who owns a collection of very similar Rubiks cube type puzzles, and having to solve one after another, while wearing gloves.

This is one of the better puzzle apps around.... Lots of thought provoking puzzles with interesting twists to work through..... A challenging way to exercise your spacial abilities.l

My rating is actually not based on the title of my review. The visuals on this game are quite impressive. The wood texture and paint detail are so realistic. The game only displays the completed toy up close for a couple of seconds. It would have been nice to be able to leisurely view the inventory of "fixed" toys. One minor thing that I found distracting was that the "string" holding the toy to the mobiles wasnt given the level of detail that the toys were. (Im not knocking stars for that point.) I was really disappointed in the availability of hints. It made the whole game solvable within about 10-15 minutes. It took away any sense of accomplishment. Especially since you are awarded the Game Center achievements regardless of how many of the unlimited hints you use. The turn restriction in standard mode was bothersome. But, what I can gather from other reviews is that they added the "unlimited" mode to appease the critics of this restriction. However, once I finished standard mode with all the hints, the game lost most of its charm. It was disappointing that you cant select specific toys to solve. You can only restart a completed chapter from the beginning. The above points are why I gave the game three stars. Now, the biggest gripe that I had with this game was the music. It was sooooooooo annoying! The issues mentioned earlier in my review had already affected the replayability factor for me. But that music was the thing that made me want to delete the game altogether. If I werent so impressed with what the developers accomplished visually, I would have let the music be a factor in my rating (and that rating would be zero, if the App Store actually let you do that).

I read the reviews and then bought the game. It is a great game, good for the brain. I am just fuming because suddenly the game went back to the toy I had already done. It should save each progress step by step. Playing on ipad, I must have touched something with the corner of my palm. I hate the clown, and now I have to build it a third time, or not play at all.please have "save". Also the shapes are so ragged and crummy looking its hard to make out what it is or what toy its supposed to be.

I enjoy this puzzle almost as much as Room 1 and 2
