A little bit on the sensitive side with movement and controls but I enjoyed my time playing it.

This game might have the worst controls of any game on the steam store. It's impressive if you can get past the tutorial, because it's that unplayable. Good concept | Bad controls

This game is by no means BAD or anything, but I also can't really recommend it. The control scheme -- as many other reviewers have mentioned -- is just simply too clunky for the game to be much fun. What I mean is, mostly, it's hard to really classify this as a platformer (albeit a puzzle platformer, even) because everything is always interrupted a thousand times by clunkily shooting arrows. As others have...

Not much to expect. Levels feel similar and will bore you rather quickly. Game involve shooting some arrows which you can climb. Overall not the best in the genre.

A puzzle platforming game that has a fair amount of challenge and a total of 60 levels! For $1 this is a good amount of content for a puzzle game when you compare it to something like Portal honestly. It introduces new mechanics to make you re-think your stategy for the puzzles. Every level has 3 objects to collect if your a completionist. Rating: 8/10

It's an ok flash game with weird concept and physics. I guess one could buy when on sale and there's nothing else to play. By the way, as others have pointed out, clicking on the robot to change weapons was a bad design decision.

I might have been the first one to ever play this game. And all I can say is it was the best 65 cents I've ever spent. Sure, it's clunky, but it just came out and the game mechanics work, it's fun, and it's only 65 cents as of August 31st 2015. A fun little game and it's definitely worth a buy. The audio is a little messed up as of now but still-- 65 cents people. And it will most likely be patched in the future.

Idea for game mechanics isn't bad. But awkward control, having to aim in reverse direction of your mouse pointer, very basic visual and bare minimum music is too much for $3-$5 (vary by region) platformer game. There are better platformer game which cost half of Tinboy.

This is technically Pinocchio but metal version. Or maybe this is the real origin of Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz! After 10 completed levels + checked some later ones: I don't think I want to play more. It's not fun, it's annoying. And it's not hard, it's frustrating.

My playtime: 1h (based on steam, 15/60 levels cleared) Developer Response: No (last response in Sep 16th, 2015). Intro Tinboy is a puzzle game where you use 3 arrows at your disposal to reach the exit. There are 60 levels in this game. Music The music is very low that i hardly listen to it. I don't think i remember the music at all. Graphics The game is using 2D sprites and the design is quite simple; it mainly...
