Lost Toys Need Your Helping Hand In This Rubik's Cube-Like 3-D Puzzle Game For iOS
January 9, 2014
Welcome to the island of misfit toys. Or in the case of this newly released iOS game, welcome to the mobile of mixed-up toys.
The new game in question is called Lost Toys. And it's a 3-D puzzle game that has you fixing the titular playthings, left hanging lifelessly from the ceiling:
Lost Toys is a mentally engaging 3D puzzle game of profound beauty, depth and challenge. Toys are lost, broken, or forgotten. Fixing them promises to right this hauntingly gorgeous chamber and restore the childhood innocence that has been lost.Lost Toys features 32 levels across four chapters. In these levels, you have to twist and turn the various parts of the jumbled toys in order to rebuild them into their original shapes. It's like playing Rubik's Cube, but with gothic visualizations of wooden toys coupled with somewhat sorrowful bits of background music (composed by Peter Rudenko).
