unlabelledView post →I think the funniest thing Toby Fox could do is not have Papyrus show up in Deltarune at all and then in the post credits after you you beat the game you'd see a message appear that says "you can now play with Papyrus" and then he'd be inserted into every single chapter like some kind of new game+

unlabelledView post →Personal Rating: Well Implemented Trial & Error Game Classic Rating: ★★★☆☆ "Toby: The Secret Mine" doesn't really add anything to the dark-styled puzzle platforming genre; visually it's nice, yeah, but the real downside is "Trial & Error" based Gameplay: there's no other way to pass a level but advancing, dying on some trap, become aware of it, start over and over to solve the "puzzle" with acquired experience. It is so because all of the perils are hidden, you can't avoid something you don't…

unlabelledView post →A mildly simpler Limbo. Feels like Limbo, plays like Limbo, atmosphere like Limbo. Personally, I would have called this Limbo 2. Which is absolutely amazing, because I couldn't get enough of Limbo. Play it, it's great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wish I could recommend this game. As you can probably tell from other reviewers, it is a blatant Limbo rip-off, without any of the ambience, mystery, or atmosphere of Limbo. If this game had come out first, it would have certainly had more of an impact. Not to say that it wasn't an enjoyable, short, somewhat challenging platformer. The graphics are also quite nice, and if you are going to rip off a game visually, you of course could do much worse than ripping off Limbo's visuals. The…
