Toki Tori

The gameplay in Toki Tori is a blend of two genres. While it looks like a platform game, it’s a puzzle game at heart. To progress through the game, the player must pick up each egg in a level using a set number of tools. Players will have to look and plan ahead carefully while using items such as the Telewarp, Freeze-o-Matic and InstantRock™. Additional tools are gradually introduced as the player progresses through the game’s 80+ levels covering four unique worlds.
There are four worlds in Toki Tori: Forest Falls, Creepy Castle, Slime Sewers (Slime Caves in the Game Boy Color version) and Bubble Barrage. The worlds become progressively more challenging as the player progresses through them, with later levels usually only having one specific way of collecting all the eggs. The most obvious difference in the worlds and their unique enemies is simply cosmetics. Enemies all behave in the same fashion and the goal of each world is the same: collect all the eggs in one attempt.

Toki Tori Review

Toki Tori is puzzle game that doesn’t try to hold your hand all the way through. Some of the puzzles are truly challenging, and the game expects you to solve it yourself. The game is difficult, but never unfair, easily allowing you to rewind mistakes and retry parts of a level without having to start all the way over. Any fan of puzzlers will find Toki Tori right up their alley.

Make no mistake, the cute graphics and upbeat music of this game hides a truly challenging, but most importantly, a well-designed puzzler. I say this game is truly challenging because none of its difficulty comes from artificial elements that purposefully make the game harder; in fact, the game offers you lots of quality-of-life features that specifically make it easier – and yet – a few of the levels are still tough as nails to figure out. It’s a game with tight mechanics where it matters, and even seemingly small things, like the speed at which the player falls of ledges are timed perfectly with level elements to prevent cheese. The game has a few gimmicks, such as the ghost traps, but the core level design is so good that it more than compensates for it.

A few levels in the game (maybe 5 or 6) felt a little too long and repetitious. Maybe it was the fact that we had to wait on a slow moving enemy, maybe it was that the level was big and we had to go from one end to the other multiple times, or maybe it was a part that needed us to do that slow warp animation a couple times too many.

Summary
The original Toki Tori on the Game Boy Color was a lost treasure that pretty much everyone missed when it was finally released more than seven years ago. I'm happy to see that the game's been given a second breath of life, and I'm even happier to report that this action puzzler holds up extremely well in the move from old-school portable to new-school console.
