Way back in 2014 an Apple II game called Genius “Into the Toy Warehouses” was released by Daniele Liverani.

Hokuto Force then released Daniele’s c64 port preview version in early December 2016 and to follow a trainer version on December 28th. You play as “Genius” and your mission is to free all the toys that have been locked away. To free the toys you have to collect keys, then open the correctly lit white doors. It’s a very odd game. On first load, I thought you just had to walk around, and on the first level, the key is on top of a locked box.

“How do I get that then?”
After messing around with the controls a bit, I then realised you can randomly fly anywhere you want in the level! This made things a lot easier and my play improved level by level. The game despite being a preview version contains 80 levels and like most puzzle games, these become more challenging as you progress. The music is nice albeit repetitive, but it gives the game a nice “Retro” feel. Controls are a bit wobbly but you get used to it after a while. A nice little game to play on a rainy day.
