    I can't help but love the atmospheric little point-and-clickers that float around. Finding teddy is not a lengthy piece of work, but it is a good one. The story tells itself and the characters are well done. The mechanics might be a little bit off at times and one shouldn't expect a game to play weeks with, but it should entertain most for several hours.

    For the little girl in Finding Teddy, her teddy bear means everything!

Finding Teddy is a colorfully pixelated point and click game that places the player in control of a girl whose teddy bear has been stolen by a monster from out of her wardrobe. When she follows after the teddy bear, she is transported to a fantastical world filled with musically-inspired puzzles and several animal companions that can be used to solve riddles and unlock secrets.

    The majority of Finding Teddy's puzzles can either be solved by gathering and using the correct objects from within the level or by playing a specific melody on an alphabetical musical scale that the player slowly fills out throughout the game. The puzzles are thought-provoking without being aggravating. Often your goal is to find a particular item that will cause a creature that is blocking your path to move out of your way. As you progress further into the game, the little girl will be joined by two helpful sidekicks that will allow the player to reach otherwise inaccessible objects and areas.

    One of Finding Teddy's most charming features is its naivety; the game never presents you with a problem that must be solved via an act of mean-spirited trickery, but instead offers you sad creatures whose problems you must solve in order to continue. In Finding Teddy, you'll find missing baby spiders, sing "Hello!" to a group of frogs, and retrieve food for globular monsters with gigantic tongues. Finding Teddy is very much a game that embraces the perspective of the little girl that you play.

    Finding Teddy's high points can be found in its disarmingly childish storyline, its lush and detailed pixelized backgrounds and characters, and its attractively dialogue-free, music-centered gameplay. Perhaps the only downside to this casual point and click game is its short gameplay time and low replay value—most players will finish their first playthrough in under two hours and completionists with quick minds will find themselves completing all of Finding Teddy's achievements in that same time frame.

    Despite its short gameplay time, Finding Teddy is a brilliant example of quirky point and click games. This game presents you with sympathetic characters, unique puzzles, and a wonderfully vibrant atmosphere, giving it more than enough reason to earn a strong 8/10 as a casual, light-hearted point and click game to play between some of your more intense adventures as a gamer.    … Expand

    A very short Point-and-click with nothing really good about it. It differentiates itself by having no dialogue and presenting the (lackluster) story through music. You'll go through the game learning new musical notes so you can pass each section and then when you get all the notes you go to the end and that's really it.

Everyone else shouldn't bother.… Expand

    I finished this game a week or two ago and already forgot about it. That should tell you everything you need to know. The concept of using music as the main source of dialogue was interesting, but in the beginning you can be left wondering what you're supposed to do - looking at you bird feather statue. On a positive note, the hand drawn graphics do look great.

    Could be much better/varied.
    Artwork is nice and the whole adventure is kinda "positive" but after finishing the game I don't feel anything for the characters at all, for some reason they didn't impress me (even if the actual plot should be at least heartwarming).
    So, again, could have been much better than this. Also, as a side note, the linux version of this didn't come with fullscreen    Could be much better/varied.

    It’s a shame that Finding Teddy is too short to be something more than just an interesting curiosity. [02/2014, p.73]
