A good game but you have to pay for extra levels
It’s a good game, the style and how it looks is really nice but completing the first 3 levels and then getting 3 stars doesn’t take very long and then you have to buy the rest of them which probably won’t take very long to complete as well. And once you complete everything there isn’t really much else you can do. So you can get the game but I suggest thinking twice before spending money on it.Show less\Husky\
Finding myself go from calming to frustrated as I play.
First of all the game design is perfect! It’s really cool to see all the different types of automatoys (sorry I don’t know if I’m spelling it right) it’s very creative and fun to see how all the contraptions work and experiment what failed and what you could do better on next time. Also the bright colors make the setting feel light and happy! The little smiling face on the ball makes it 10x cuter as well. The sfx is also very good it’s satisfying to hear the clunks etc as the ball continues throughout the puzzles. My only problem is that I find myself at a point where I won’t move on to the next level until I’ve gotten 3 stars on my last one which causes a lot of frustration and this game is supposed to be calming. But I guess it’s my problem that I just have the pet peeve of not feeling satisfaction until I’ve done it perfectly but I just feel like it gets frustrating to know that you didn’t get to the expectations the game expected which makes you feel bad and you want to keep repeating it until you’ve finally exceeded the expectations. This makes you end up sitting there for hours playing that one level and then you finally realize how much time you’ve wasted just to continuously fail. Other than that the game is very calming, cute and great for passing time and getting your brain to exercise.Show lessLeafz🍃
Great concept, but not really a free game
The concept for this game is super fun! I love the physics and gameplay, however having a 2 dollar paywall after 3 levels wasn’t a great choice. I haven’t bought more levels, however there doesn’t seem to be a lot of content for this game. I finished the 3 levels in 10 minutes and it looks like this game could be completed in 30 minutes over all. I say use your money on a game you’ll get more time out of.Show lessGwumbus
Definitely worth the small price.
This game really stands out in the App Store crowd with its beautiful and brilliant design. The first few levels are free to play. Gameplay is challenging, and with a little practice, achievable. Sometimes it’s not immediately obvious what to do until you learn the mechanics of each device, but that just adds to mystery and fun.Show lessandrebrook
Cute and Relaxing
This is ultimately a very cute game! It doesn’t have any particular things that irk me and it makes for a relaxing experience. I also enjoy the gameplay since I grew up playing with marble games like this, so it made for a comforting nostalgia trip. $2 for the rest of the game after the first 3 automatoys is not a bad price! However it feels like too little amount of gameplay even if you bought the rest. In total, (if I counted correctly) there are 10 automatoys. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have enough replay-ability for me to stay interested knowing the lack of automatoys to play with. To summarize, it leaves me wanting more. With that being said, I hope they can add more in the future!Show lessVix En
I sure hope there are additions to it!
Very much have enjoyed this little puzzle/physics/whatever game. Definitely was worth the in-app purchase. Would make a second in-app purchase for additional levels. Very happy there are no in-app purchases for coins, gems, cheating, etc. One bug: On “level” 7, the user has to be more precise than they should probably have to be to get the ball to stick to one of the magnets on the “ferris wheel” at the beginning of the stage. Perhaps this was intentional but it contradicts how sticky the magnets in previous levels are. It may actually just be an adjustment in the perspective that is needed rather than the actual physics. I wish there were a way for me to gift Noah the ten year-old (another reviewer) the rest of the game. Thank you to the developer for their response.Show lessApril and David

Hi April and David, thanks so much for your review and feedback - we'll have a think about that section in automatoy #7.Was fun, then..
So, i started playing this game, and it was FUN. I soon got three-stars on the first three, then realize you have to pay just to play more levels. Seriously? At this point its disappointing. Im tired of people making good games with awesome ideas into them, then making paywalls. I understand that it is only 2-3 bucks, but i rather spend my money on something actually useful. So in conclusion, maybe make the game free or EVEN make the game two bucks to play.Show lessALEXA WALTER.COM/YMAIL
Great little digital toy
Absolutely worth the download. You can try free and own the whole thing for $2. It’s just fun to poke at each puzzle until you can gleam the whole path to the end. Then if you want to chase the stars you can try and speed run the puzzle as quick as you can. The full unlock gets you a good amount more of the toys.
It’s well built and I love the minimalistic style. It’s surprising I found this in the editors choice since the game isn’t constantly hounding you to spend more money and buy more tries. You just get to play and enjoy the game.Show lessWingedBeaux

Hi WingedBeaux, thank you for your wonderful review!This game made me write my first review
To start, I don’t know why people are tripping over $2, you can buy a chocolate bar with that. I don’t see the problem??? You probably have that in loose change. If you dont have the money dont buy it. To be real it was a great spend this game is awesome I’ve had a phone since 2016 and I can’t complain about the mobile games I’ve played through the years. They were all really cool but nobody can beat Automatoys. This game is so simple yet so much fun. It literally makes you use your brain power and makes you focus. It’s strategic, adorable, stylish, simple, and fun! I absolutely adore this game. I love the little sounds and the comforting Lo-Fi music in the background. Its just awesome. I just wish there were more levels. Man do I hope you guys make more or make more game’s similar to this because it was a blast.Show lessGrfjjchkvchidbkdfjk
Beautiful and original
A beautiful and original game. The simplest of controls. Each level polished to perfection. A fair bit of re-playability per level, especially to hit those 3 stars; you’ll need to learn each level - what does what, timings, etc. Nice sound effects and music too. If you enjoyed Screwball Scramble, you’ll love this.Show lessric.bevan
