To be honest, when I saw this "Mini Toy Eliminator", I was still in a daze. Nowadays, the graphics of mobile games are becoming more and more exquisite, and the gameplay is becoming more and more complex. However, occasionally encountering such simple and crude IO games reminds me of the days when I stayed up late playing "Snake" and "Arkanoid" on the Symbian computer more than ten years ago. At that time, there were no fancy special effects. A joystick and a few buttons were everything, but I couldn't stop playing.
Not to brag, the core gameplay of this game is actually quite retro - you control a bunch of small toys, spin them to attack others, absorb the other's toys to expand yourself, and finally decide the winner. It's a bit like the PC version of "Ball Fight" or "I'm a Thief 6", but it's a mini-toy theme, the action rhythm is faster, and the visually "messy" magical style is quite right. The game starts with a fight, and the operating threshold is low, but fighting for positioning and timing makes it very competitive.
What surprised me was that the developer was Shenzhen Fire Tongue Internet. I had the impression that they had made some casual games before. Although this time, "Mini Toy Match" is free, it has been well optimized and can run smoothly on older models above 4.0. Nowadays, many new games require 8-core processors, which is not friendly to old players. This is worthy of praise.
Of course, if you have extremely high requirements for graphics, or you only play plot-oriented and large-scale productions, then this game may not be suitable for you. But if you want to get back the exhilarating feeling of ‘turning on your phone and play a game at any time', or miss the simple yet addictive io games from the Symbian era, you might as well give this a try. Anyway, it's free. Click in and play a few games, and maybe you can still have the fun of playing against your roommates using Nokia infrared. 😌
