Toy Shop Tidy Up

I expected this to be one of those games where every object has one exact spot and you just figure out where it belongs, but it’s actually quite different. You’re given shelves and areas to work with, but you still have to decide how you want to arrange everything. I spent way too much time trying to make my plush toy shelf look nice. The downside is that if you prefer puzzle-style organization with one “correct” solution, this might feel a bit directionless. Personally I like the freedom.

I bought this game as part of a bundle and thought I give it a try. At first I thought it was a cute game. I like the asthetics and was happy about having the collect feature from the beginning of the game. I also like the inventory upgrade when you finish a section. The music is chill and I didn't notice anything visually bugging me. But there are also some things I don't like and that gave me some trouble. One of the big cars clipped through the floor for me, never to be seen again, so I couldn't finish my run and had to start all over to get it back -.- I also had some issues with the automated placment feature. Some toys literally jumped out of their designated shelves because of some collision error. Easy fix for this was placing it manually, but for me this defeats the purpose of auto-placement. Another thing, that bugged me, was the fact that the collection feature also collected toys I already placed on shelves. Overall it is a cute short game, but has some issues. If you want to sort some cute toys for a few hours, consider it, but if you expect more from this game, maybe look for something else. Up to you.

SADLY, If I were buying this for what it's worth it would be a $3 price tag rather than anything above that. I kept running into this bug where you'd place an item and then it would disappear BUT if you reload the game, it would spawn in the middle of the map. Another missing asset is...not all the items are there! In the car section there were missing cars BUT the game said that the section was completed. When placing or walking on top of the swords (or certain items in total) in the weapons section would make the player shoot up in the air out of the map and fall back down. This was annoying for me since I just wanted to get the weapons section done. Sorting and tidying was satisfying but if I were to point someone in the direction of a tidying game, this would be last on my list... BESIDES EVERYTHING ABOVE and the fact that this game needs some shaping for what it's worth, it did it's job for the most part. But if you're looking for something satisfyingly...buggy-ish then sure go for it!

Toy Shop Tidy Up is such a relaxing game with total creative freedom. The new update makes the shop look way better, smooths out performance, and fixes bugs based on player feedback. They also just added shelf sign boards! You can use them to neatly label exactly where certain toys go, or just chuck the signs anywhere if you prefer sorting freely. It is a super polished, stress-free treat if you love cozy sorting games

Not really a fun game, items don't snap in place, if you place them, they often fall down again. Its often very unclear where they are supposed to go. If you accidentally pick up a sign, you cant place it where it belongs again. Really neither relaxing nor fun.

Probably the biggest thing people should know before buying: This is not really an organization puzzle where every toy has one predetermined correct position. You’re responsible for actually planning the shelves yourself. The game gives you categories and some guidance, but you still decide how the final store looks. That means it requires a little more creativity than I expected, but also makes the finished shop feel like your shop. There’s some repetition and occasionally awkward placement physics, but overall I had a very relaxing time with it.
