Desktop Toys at Mac App Store analyse

It does what it says, but the attention to detail (with regard to physics and how all the different toys react to each other … try dropping a basketball on different parts of a keyboard to hear different notes play, for instance) is kind of delightful and just right if you need a minute or two to amuse yourself during a workday.

Ich habe mir das Spiel runtergeladen da es Gratis war. Im nachhinein bin ich auch froh drum, dass nichts kostete. Es macht einen guten Eindruck, mehr kann ich aber leider nicht dazu sagen. Nach dem Öffnen kommt ein Tutorial und dann kommt das Menü um etwas auszuwählen. Wenn ich z.B. einen Ball auswähle kommt das Ladesymbol von der Maus und nichts tut sich. An fehlender Leistung kann es an meinem MacBook nicht liegen. So blieb mir nichts anderes übrig das Spiel „Sofort Beenden“ und wieder zu löschen. Leider schade drum, aber ich hoffe mit dem nächsten Update wird sich was daran ändern.

First the toy box is very ugly Second: the toys disable the screen completely, so you cant have anything to work on while a toy is playing Third: you cant remove a toy from the scene separately without closing everything. Bottom line, I regret buying it.

Editing my original review to comment that Desktop Toys no longer works in Yosemite (for me at least, although I would be interested if it does work for anyone else) *and* it now appears to be abandonware. I can find no way to contact the Developer and clicking either the support link or the Developer’s website links above leads to a page where the domain is for sale. **** original comments **** Further to Milad Gabers review I would say I think the toy box is supposed to look like a random carboard box which a lot of kids would actually have and use as a toybox. That said, an option to have different toy boxes would be a nice addition. I agree that it would be more enjoyable if the toys could continue on the screen while you work in another application. Also, you can remove a single toy by holding the Control Key and dragging a single toy back to the toy box. For me, on a 2.8GHz iMac, it runs smoothly and uses very little memory or CPU. I have been having a lot of fun with this App. I think it is very well done although does have room for improvements. The reactions of the toys are very realistic & the graphics are well done. I downloaded the few available presets from the developers web site and, while you can double-click them to open them I dont see a way to actually add them to Desktop Toys instead of having them as loose files you have to navigate to and then open individually. The ability to easily create your own custom Rube Goldberg Machines is pretty cool.

こういうの好きなのでいくらでも遊んでいられるのですが、画面がAirの11.6インチでは制約が大きすぎてうまく遊べません。オブジェクトがいちいち大きくてすぐに画面が埋まってしまうし、ちょっと移動するにも既に置かれたオブジェクトと干渉するので1個ずらすのに他の10個ずらしてやらないと移動できない状況になったりします…推奨画面サイズはいくつだろう？とにかく11インチではストレスのほうがたまります。オブジェクトのサイズを大中小とかで変えられたらいいのに。。。あとアンドゥがなくて、置き間違えたら最後、やり直すには一括消去しかない。これからに期待します

大変面白く遊ばせていただいています。ただ一つ注文があります。上部に出るメニュが邪魔でカーソルを当てると出てくる仕様にしたらもっと便利だと思います。100円は大変リーズナブルです。まあすぐ飽きるかもしれませんが(笑)

I bought this just for fun and I must say its a cute idea. A few of the toys are a little small for me on a 27" screen but most are fine.
