On the one side Toki Tori is a little cute bird - something between a chick and a penguin. It cannot fly or even jump - just step up a small block and float slowly to ground. You walk through lovely animated enviroments and listen to a sweet soundtrack with the purpose of collecting all placed eggs in every level. But don't get tricked by this overwhelming cuteness!

On the other side Toki Tori is an ultra hard puzzle platformer without any mercy. That's for some reason:
1. Some levels have traps where you get stucked in a hole without coming out. Mostly there is the last egg to get.
2. The monsters are quick and touching is highly deadly. Unfortunatelly you have to come them sometimes really near.
3. You have a cruel limit of using special abilities like bridge building, block throwing or teleporting. If your contingent is gone you cannot do anything more and must try again.
4. It seems that for every level exists only one solution. It's hard to get this, make the right decisions from the beginning to the end and follow the right path.

Though there is a rewind function in this game - besides it looks like VHS. But it will help more in dangerous situations than leading you to the solution. In the end you'll feel lucky to get through all these nerve-wracking levels. But I'm just expecting Toki Tori 2.

Toki Tori is a platform puzzle game. Within each level there are a number of eggs to be collected to complete it. The player has a number of items available and additional tools gradually introduced through the 4 different worlds. Players will have to plan ahead to progress through most levels successfully as items can become limited.

Overall I enjoyed playing Toki Tori and using the different tools to solve the puzzles within the levels and worlds. The graphics and music are pretty good and is an easy game to come and go from.

8/10

Personal Rating: "Worth playing"
Traditional Rating: 8/10
Platform: PC
Genre: Platform Puzzler

Well executed platform puzzler that starts out deceptively easy and gets harder, very much harder, the further you progress. Don't be put off by the childlike cartoony and colorful graphics or the fact that it involves a young chick - named Toki Tori - and his search and rescue mission for his younger brothers and sisters who are still in their eggs.

Yes - it sounds like something you would give a young child to play and whilst they will certainly get much delight out of the game during its earlier levels the game will certainly require some flexing of the old grey matter if you plan on getting through the levels on the hard difficulty. Much trial and error will be required to master some of these devilishly cunning levels.

Originally released as a game for the Gameboy color back in the early 2000's, Toki Tori benefits wonderfully from an HD upgrade for modern computers. Brilliant level design combined with charming visuals makes this a must-have for puzzle enthusiasts and is the perfect family game to play with the young ones in tow.

Toki Tori is puzzle game that makes you smile because of the charming main character and it also makes you a very angry gamer as you try to solve surprisingly hard puzzles. Usually games don't offer very interesting puzzles but Toki Tori shines in this department - some of these puzzles aren't solved right away and it's both a good thing, but also worthy to note that if you don't want to frustrate yourselves while gaming, Toki Tori probably does that as the puzzles can really be hard sometimes.

It's also a nice colourful game and I'd recommend Toki Tori. I like Toki Tori. That makes me a person that likes Toki Tori. Try the game yourselves and join the people who likes Toki Tori.

What the first word that comes to your mind when you hear "amazing game." Mine is Toki-Tori. This game revolutionized the platforming genre. The amount of detail put into this little indie game is ground-breaking. Reminds of the old days back in '82 playing Mario on the couch. I would recommend this game to any hard core video game players/athletes and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

9/10
