Tick Tock Toys

Tick tock, you won't stop

by Matt Wales 4/3/2013

Tick Tock Toys coaxes you in gently, with its charming mix of reaction-based tinkering and logic-teasing action. Even your goal is pleasantly straightforward - you're tasked with guiding a tiny toy robot to safety as it trundles on a predetermined path around the playroom floor.

You've no direct control over your robot, though. Instead, it's down to you to manipulate the various toys and trinkets strewn across his path.

A toy train might need to be yanked back along its track, for instance, or a frog poked to retract its tongue. Matryoshka dolls, meanwhile, need multiple jabs to pack them all up so they're safely out of harm's way. ...

A charming, cheery, and wonderfully imaginative combination of observational- and reaction-based puzzling
