    Full disclosure I am friends with the developer and have my name in the credits. So I first found Toodee and Topdee around a year ago on the ld forums for the demo I kept seeing it. so one day I said hey couldn't hurt to check it out. So I launch it up and fell in love instantly.

So I first found Toodee and Topdee around a year ago on the ld forums for the demo I kept seeing it. so one day I said hey couldn't hurt to check it out. So I launch it up and fell in love instantly. The game has a lot of personality and really polished art and gameplay. Ive been in the community and the way the developer worked and showed the game development is amazing and constantly interacting with community. Ive played the entire game 100% that includes the secret . The base game alone is worth the price alone rn plus the game sounds like there's a patch in the works for the bugs we've found so far and a switch release maybe nothings confirmed there. The extra gameplay is also worth it theres bugs in the game and if you collect a certain amount of them you get a extra chapter and if you get all of them well just best to find out yourself.… Expand

    Toodee and Topdee is perfect for people who like difficult challenges both in the platforming and puzzling aspects.

    The boss fights are extremely challenging, but if you're struggling you can always use the difficulty settings to add some health.
    I do not recommend using extra health in the rest of the game though, because that can break the puzzle elements!
    Usually the solution is very easy to execute once you know what to do.
    Without spoiling anything- the game has one of the best endings I've seen in a long time.
    The game takes about 6 hours to finish, and has a lot of optional challenges (no spoilers).
    I highly recommend it!

    P.S. You're especially gonna love it if you like programming jokes ;)    … Expand

    I'm always worried when a game features one of those gimmicky looking mechanics, because it's so painful to watch the delivery fall short. But I'm a sucker for perspective switching and thankfully Toodee and Topdee delivers in spades. Every time you think you've become familiar with what their take on this mechanic has to offer, it throws in a new variation that pleasantly surprises.

The puzzles designs are excellent - challenging, but always obvious once you figure it out. And the art is simply charming. For a 6 hour title, this is a surprisingly satisfying experience. Highly recommended.… Expand

    I have no doubt that Toodee and Topdee will become one of those indie classics that is constantly referred back to or recommended, if only for its novel hook. For those that play it, however, it will be remembered for its charm, surprises, and lovingly-crafted yet demanding gameplay.

    The mix of leaping and pushing blocks forces you to exercise thumbs and prefrontal cortex alike, but jumping between the two can jar. [Issue#363, p.123]

    Along with having to perform some well-timed maneuvers, this also makes for several terribly clever puzzles, which also makes me feel very clever at times.
