This is an initial review for those who are still unsure whether they want to drop $3.99 on a game without trying it first.

The game is very well designed and as other reviewers have mentioned very polished and enjoyable. However the game is dissapointingly short. It only truly consists of 3 levels plus 1 boss level. True the levels are divided in sectors but each sector is nothing more than a single puzzle. Once you figure out the general gameplay and puzzle designs you can breeze through the game in less than 30 minutes. I applaud the developer for the exceptional design and immersive gameplay and look forward to follow up episodes. Bottom line: $3.99 seems a little high for 30-50 minutes of gameplay with limited replay value.

This is the first sidee scrolling platformer for the iPhone that I can think of! The controls take a little getting used to, but then, you're off! You move him left and right by tilting the screen. Touch any metal object to have him send a grappling hook to attach himself and then tilt the screen back and forth to swing! You also push and pull objects (like quarters) to open doors. The physics are very well done, and it really shows what you can do with an iPhone as far as gaming goes. I am now fully convinced that the iPhone and Ipod Touch are a great gaming device! Lookout DS!

itunes should get mario, madden, LEMMINGS (the old school one would be awesome), and galaga. click yes

EDIT: Just finished the game, and I have to update my review based on the individual levels.

This game was very entertaining and really made you think at some points

Good job on this guys. People will love this. Good use of the tilt control.

Innovative fast paced gameplay make the game a must have! Can't wait for the next installment!

Oh what fun, no regrets on purchase in any way ....this is going to be an addictive one! Great graphics and the Bot is adorable. :)

I'm not kidding. The perfect amount of action and strategy. One problem, I need more levels as I've already made it to the end. Please please make more!

It is so much fun to play!!! I literally couldn't put it down for 6 hours straight. But it could have been a little longer, perhaps the next update?

I resisted buying this game for a few days but I'm glad I caved in!!

i agree with the best platform game for iphone but after i updated to 2.1 the grappling arm and the magnetic boots sound horrible and really annoying, this is such a great game, needs update or something

The first really good, well done game for the iPhone.

worth the 4$

Toy Bot Diaries is simply terrific -- the physics are well done, the graphics charming, and the puzzles are smart -- some infuriatingly difficult and some just plain fun. The game is so good, I went back and played levels all over again, trying to grab more of the "memory modules" that are secreted around the environment. I was disappointed to reach the end of this installment (though it took me hours and hours) -- I'm looking forward to the next one.

Awesome game, cannot wait for the update. I must say, spending an extra couple hours to find the last memory piece ended *very* anticlimaticly, come on, the last slide was a joke! The only thing i hated was the voice, it wasnt cute, it sounded like some aged cartoon character, still loved the actual character. Worth the coffee cup price though.

First off: awesome effort; great concept and cool game. That being said, some of the sections of the game are a little buggy: wheels not moving properly, tilt motions not cooperating. If you reset the game, then it works just fine. Therefore, an updated version with minor bug fixes would definitely warrant a star bump.

Get this game, very addicting. Don't take my word for it, try the free version. You will be hooked.

Giving 5 stars to this game was by far the easiest choice I've ever made in a review for an iPhone game. the controls need a little getting used to but are nonetheless great. My only complaints are small: 1: the "tap to stick magnetically to a surface" is tricky, and sometimes felt as if it's more luck than skill to make it work, but as far as I can remember I only had this problem when trying to stick during a grapple. (specifically when sticking to vertical surfaces or upside down) and 2: sometimes I'll tilt to move and toy bot will move the opposite way, easily fixed though. complaints of the game being short are valid. Avid gamers, especially those who are great at bionic commando will beat it easily and quickly. But to unlock all memories takes a little longer. But keep in mind this is obviously meant to be an episodic game(entry 1). My very small complaints are not enough to lower the score to 4 stars though. if your considering buying, do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time thinking about it. It's waaay worth the money.

Uses the controls- smartly- not trying to rely on precise movements- it just works. Its a blast to play- and by far the best game- especially considering the price! It is the only game I have that I pick up my Pod for just to play this game. there a lot of other fun little 'distraction" games I like- but this is the real deal.

Definitely worth the price. First of its kind for iPhone its like spider-man/sonic, except ur a robot that uses magnetic powers and u dont move fast. Not really like sonic, but the closest thing i could think of at the time.

It is easy to play, has great graphics, and lots of fun. No complaints at all.

Not often am I taken by a game on my iPhone. Toy Bot did just that. It is fun, engaging, and addicting. I can't wait for the next chapter.

i love this game. best game out on the app store. pretty cheap too.

The problem with physics games is there isn't always a solution... It's really easy to miss tap and get stuck in this game. I found it incredibly frustrating!
