The creepiest Toca game I’ve ever played

I used to play this when I was four and I don’t know why but it literally freaking scared me half to death the characters are horrifying and the sounds they make is also creepy and other people might be thinking this is weird because they might think it’s fine and it’s fun for a little kids that like just fun music but when I was four I got really freaked out from this game I hated the sounds I thought all the characters were literally so creepy and I feel like you should fix it but you don’t need to because literally no one here has wrote a review in like years so like all the reviews say that it’s been like For years three years two years one year I just think that this is really creepy

Please read before downloading

I love this game but a few things I kinda wish there were more characters like a trumpet dog or a bunny drum or even a cat keyboard but it is the best but this game and some of the other Toca games won’t let me see the pictures on the intro but I just wanted to point that out but an amazing game I recommend to download it thanks for reading

Fun

This is a fun app to enjoy with my two-year-old. It teaches how music is constructed with various tracks overlaid with three optional tempo settings and the chance to solo each unique instrument. Super creative, super cute, great fun!

I just want to update that my son is now ten and plays the saxophone and piano and still occasionally will open this app because it is that good.
