Five stars from a pre-release tester
I test Tokidos games before launch and personally played Rocket Pattern Builder as part of that process. Based on my hands-on testing experience, I give this game five stars.
Toy Box is one of those games that feels simple, but actually gets kids thinking. I really like how it turns math skills like sorting, counting, and observation into a hands-on activity away from screens.
I loved how Grouping Candy makes early math feel playful instead of “school-like.” It’s colorful, easy to follow, and such a nice screen-free way for kids to practice sorting, grouping, and logical thinking.
Really fun!!!
The Dinos are not always super easy to identify on the LEDs, so we've had to open up our Dino Encyclopedia a couple times for my son to really get what each looks like. But besides that a really engaging game with some really cool facts about Dinos that my son loves learning about! Well done.
We love DinoLand!!!
The kids are super into it and keep asking to play again. It’s fun, engaging, and I love that they’re learning without even noticing.
My son loves playing the game and gets so excited trying to guess each sound. He laughs every time he recognizes one and proudly shakes the cubes to find the right answer. It’s such a sweet way for him to explore and learn while having fun.
My son absolutely loves Space Blaster and asks to play it all the time. He gets so excited upgrading his ship and discovering new things. It’s amazing to see how much fun he has and how proud he feels when he gets farther each time.
At first I was like oh, ok, just another space invaders type of game that sucks you in. Then I noticed that there's a market where you have to trade upgrades, manage your funds and powers to find the right combination to advance in the game and I though ok, that's clever... you actually have to think to advance. Many of their games look straighforward on the surface, but as I dig deeper, I'm genuinely surprised. Been using PlayCubes for over 9 months, and overall really satisfied.
