About This Game Five Ancient Frogs, scattered across the countryside, send a telepathic message to Toki Tori. It’s hard to see how this young chicken could help them destroy the floating crystal endangering everything… but he’s their only hope.Toki Tori 2+ may look cute, but it’s a challenging puzzle adventure game. Whistle and stomp are the only moves you need to solve increasingly complex puzzles, as you go anywhere, anytime on a lush forest island.A unique take on the Metroidvania formula: progress by exploring, observing and experimentingMeet strange critters, study their behaviour and manipulate them with your whistle and stomp movesFind the Ancient Frogs and destroy the crystal at the heart of the islandWhistle songs for special abilities, including rewind and fast travelUse the in-game camera and snap creature pictures to complete the TokidexPush the game’s mechanics to their limits to find 100s of golden wingsSteam featuresLevel editor: create and share levels through Steam Workshop38 AchievementsFor PC & Mac using SteamPlay 6d5b4406ea Title: Toki Tori 2+Genre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Two TribesPublisher:Two TribesRelease Date: 11 Jul, 2013 Toki Tori 2 Activation Code [hack] So Toki Tori 2...It's definitely a lot more complex than I would have thought, moreso than the first game even. It initially caught me off guard how it plays nothing like the original Toki Tori, so I didn't warm up to it right away until I played for a little while to the first different looking area. Toki Tori 1 was a puzzle game with minor platforming elements in contained levels, wereas Toki Tori 2 is a puzzle exploration game in a big world. The difference between the two is that TT1 can be played in distinguishable chunks picking each level as you progress. TT2 is one big world where you don't select worlds, difficulties, or anything that was the case in TT1. You have a map that you can look at, the ability to jump to key spots on the map, and branching paths that move all throughout the world. Completely forget anything about TT1 and strap in for a game that requires more dedication when it comes to TT2.TT2 is often compared to metroid or referred to as a Metroidvania, which is a bit of a skewed perception in that Toki Tori doesn't learn new abilities or get stronger in any way...instead YOU as the player slowly learn over time how everything can interact with one another with just your two abilities. The game starts you off right away, no tutorials, no cutscenes, no nada just thrown into the world and go from there. You have to figure out how chirp and stomp work and connect the dots along the way. It is amazing how many different things can happen across the game with just these two abilities, clearly a lot of thought went into the puzzle design and as long as you understand how everything works, the game doesn't throw any cheap curveballs or change the rules at any point. Once again, despite the game's cute appearance it is no joke and does nothing to hold your hand. You get no free passes, no rewinds mid-puzzle, no assistance. YOU are the one that has to make all the moves and figure out ways to get through everything.If any of what I just said sounded remotely interesting, you should consider this game. It is vastly underrated both difficulty wise and gameplay wise.. Suprisingly well executed puzzle game with slight platforming elements. It is actually one of a kind puzzle-exploration game. Imagine Metroid, where You can progress not because of new abilities, but because of the knowledge You earn by visiting new places, which allow You to solve puzzles You encountered earlier.Challenging to complete the story, but collecting all the collectibles is close to insane task, highly recommended ;). I've rarely been more engrossed by a game, felt more respected as a player, or allowed to figure stuff out so much as in this game. This is the rare game that requires the player to truly use inductive reasoning skills to reach a solution using given parts that seem not to be applicable to the problem at hand at all.Inductive reasoning is very rare in games.Get this for your children to help hone their reasoning and creative problem solving skills. And make sure to spend some time with it yourself.This is one of the best entertainment experiences -- of any type -- that I have ever had. You will learn without instructions. You will teach yourself the rules and then the game will demand mastery.Zero hand holding.Extremely pleasant zen-like atmosphere.Absolutely brutally difficult puzzles with real design-based challenges created purely by the contextual interaction of persisten rules. NO puzzle designer mindreading or artificial "challenges."What are you waiting for? If you like thoughtful games at all buy this immediately.. This game has some of the most ingenious mechanical and puzzle design you will ever see. It somehow manages to have metroidlike progression, where you see treasures and routes you can't take yet, but will on later visits, despite having no unlockable player abilities. It achieves this unprecedented feat by teaching you new and non-obvious mechanics as you progress through the various stages, which you can then use to solve other challenges you passed earlier. This teaching happens organically as you solve puzzles; there is no text or spoken dialogue in the game. Toki Tori 2 is an under-appreciated gem and one of the best puzzle games ever made. 10\/10. Unique and UnderratedFrom all the puzzle games I have played (2D and 3D), this is the only one Ive seen that instead of giving you many tools, items, and\/or powerups to progress, it just gives you 2 basic actions but with the ability to interact with the world and its creatures in hundreds of different ways. Also, its up to the player to think how the mechanic works, and feels extremely rewarding when you figure out the solutions by yourself. That : Aha! , or Eureka! moment you get after a long time thinking how to interact with your surroundings and solve a puzzle just makes me feel super good. I wasnt going to play this game because I thought it was just more of toki tori 1, and I didnt like the first game's casual, closed level design. This one is an interactive open world 2d puzzle platformer. If Two Tribes have gotten a better publisher, Im pretty sure this game would have sold way better. Its a gem.. I have bought this game with the intent of supplying fun game to kids. Shortly after starting it, I realized that ME - not really a kid anymore - have already played it for five hours straight! Game doesn't give any instructions - and that's 50% of fun, from discovering things yourself. It's a great feature, some of us, relying on tutorials for every game out there, already forgot.That said, I wouldn't recommend this game for kids, buy it if you like solving gradually harder puzzles of "how to get up on that platform?" or "there should be 10 items on this level I have only 5, where's the rest?". You need to make surrounding creatures to do your bidding by singing for them, stomping the ground around or teleporting them wherever they're needed. You'll be lighting dark areas with a fairy, which you need to invite there by singing, you will use frog's bubbles to raise to higher areas, you will even need frogs bubble-fly another frog from time to time. Sometimes you will need that pesky bird, which god-knows-why has uber-affection for you, to be removed by zapping it with two slugs. There are times, when you will have wondered "how to get up there?", but having progressed slightly further you will discover new ways to do things, something you haven't thought of before, or just simply a new ability. This makes you go back and complete that task you haven't done before.Warning to those that are alergic to trying things repeatedly and failing 90% of the time - you're gonna want to be zapped by a slug yourself, so try another game.Writing anything more would be a big spoiler on how the game works, so enough to say - get it, you won't regret it.
