It’s just a few days to go until the puzzle platformer Toby: The Secret Mine will be released on Wii U and Xbox One on 19th and 20th.
About the Game:
Get ready for a challenging and otherworldly puzzle platformer inspired by games like Limbo and Badland.
A peaceful way of life in a small mountain village is shattered. Someone has kidnapped most of its residents. A few brave souls tried to rescue their friends but none have returned.
… Brave little Toby didn’t want to just sit and wait to see what happens next, so he has set about on his own to solve the mystery. Entering the deep forest, he sees this may be an adventure bigger than him, but he won’t stop.
In “Toby: The Secret Mine”, go with little Toby on an eerie adventure in a dark and creepy world full of dangerous situations, enemies and challenging puzzles. Use our wits, platforming skills and puzzle-solving abilities to bypass mind-bending puzzles, while avoiding traps and monsters.
Check out the Trailer:
“There are a wide variety of puzzles and challenges; from finding switches and levers, to timing perfect jumps onto moving platforms or two centimeter wide ledges. No particular puzzle or obstacle enjoys its stay too long, although they return in a more devilish form later. There are invisible checkpoints throughout each stage, as dying happens quite often. These checkpoints are often placed before difficult challenges. There isn’t a user selectable save option, so quitting the game, will place you at the start of the level. Keep this in mind as some of the game’s more aggravating obstacles were not something I wanted to repeat. Additionally I encountered a very strange glitch, in which pausing and restarting with a controller would also restart the game. This would place my progress back at the start of the level. This happened a handful of times, but it was very frustrating.”
