in the past


Some days all a man needs is a beer, some good ass head, and some Toree 3D

The platforming was generic and the camera was clunky. Not that fun unfortunately but not terrible either.

Didn't realize I never reviewed this game. Better late than never, though.

This game was my introduction to Siactro, a solo game developer who makes small, cheap platformers, most of which harken back to the N64 and SNES platforming classics. Some might call their games pandering or shallow, but I think there's a surprising amount of depth and love for the craft in them that leads me to holding them in high regard. Whether or not you liked Toree, I highly recommend Macbat 64, Super Kiwi 64, and Beeny, they're delightful little treats and offer more than you'd expect.

But those games aren't Toree. And, well, to be frank, Toree is my least favorite of Siactro's offerings (that I've played). All of their games are simple, but I find Toree to be too simple. Lacking, even. The same charm that the others have isn't nearly as strong here, and I never felt like I was having as much fun. Perhaps because this is a level-based 3D platformer rather than an explorative collectathon? Maybe this just isn't Siactro's area of expertise? I don't know. On top of that, this game also just forces a sort of horror element in it much less elegantly; the others have horror elements (not much, you won't be crapping your pants or anything), but it's presented in a very natural way that feels befitting of the retro callbacks, here it just feels amateurish. As my friend maradona puts it, it's like something MatPat would make a theory video on rather than something that could just... be.

Unfortunately for me, this is the one of Siactro's games that has kind of blown up. I blame AntDude (I mean... that's how I learned of it). A sequel, two games of 3-4 levels each, and another one-level entry. I'll admit that I haven't played them, so maybe they're a lot better and makes Toree a much more worthy leading series, but I wish it was Macbat or Kiwi instead. Not trying to come off mean at all, I'm glad this developer is getting more attention, and Toree 3D is still good I just don't think it's great like their other works.

Still, it's only a dollar. I doubt you'll regret trying it even if you don't end up caring for it. But I recommend Siactro's other games more! And try playing them more or less in order, there's merit to that.

Jeez, can't a cute bird get a bit of ice cream without being dragged into a Matpat video ?


Absolutely love this game to death. Super short and super fun to speedrun the levels.

for the price of 1$ you get an extremely fun platformer with 3 characters and cool music and art style. i'd say is definetly worth the investment.

it's a bit short but has a lot of replayability

A very charming platformer with nice camera and controls. Kind of a shame it's too short because I wanted more of it.

This game has the same plot as Learning With Pibby

For the price this game is an easy recommend, kinda feels like a decent proof of concept for a 3D sonic game. The "Haunted PS1" stuff is a little clunky and ineffective but it's not very obtrusive either. It's colorful, bouncy, the gameplay is snappy and fast, and I had a smile on my face the entire time I was playing it.

fun speedrun game to play once and never think about again

Really short 3d retro platformer, nothing stands out but for the price its okay.

One of the best 3D platformers.

it’s cute and cheap and kinda fun but i’ll be honest i wish they’d either gone all the way with the ‘horror’ or just left it out entirely. as is i feel like it just doesn’t add anything

Yeah the level design isn't as tight as the sequel (a ittle too much sitting and waiting here for my taste) but it still has its appeal. It's cool to see how such a small dev team can evolve of the course of their game catalogue.

Another "cute thing is le heckin scary" game.

It's a 1 dollar game
and a good one!

kiwi is daniel and toree is the cooler daniel

a cute short n' sweet 3D platformer with fast paced level design. my only issue i had was that i wished that there was more levels but for its price of 1 dollar it is very much worth it and content rich for the price.

Much less of a game ass game than its sequel, but a set of aesthetic and spacial experiments. Its just as playful, but nowhere near as fun.

Literally the most terrifying 3D platformer I've ever played.

The original soundtrack is significantly better than the new one.

Marcus es un gran creador de ambientes y sensaciones porque dentro del ya tan explorado mundo de horrores analógicos y vintage logra mantener el misterio con todos los medios disponibles a su mano.

La OST original es además increible. Y el control nada malo, muy corto pero recompensa mucho.


A short tiny 3D platformer that is fun with an artstyle of a Sega Saturn game (and has a twist which I won't spoil). You can beat it in about an hour. Worth playing for fans of 3D platformers. You can get it for a dollar.

Meu namo que me mostrou o jogo é fofo que nem ele <3

Toree 3D is a cute little platformer that doesn't have much to offer, but what is there is enjoyable enough that it's hard to be overly critical of.
It's a very short game with it's major draw being in replaying stages in order to get better time and rankings on them, but the levels themselves are often too bland or uninspired to illicit such an urge from the player.
Ultimately, it is a fun play, and at it's dirt cheap price there's no reason as to not give the game a shot. Not the worst, but not the best either.
Toree is kinda swag looking tho.

A solid foundation that is rough on the edges, with reused level themes, bland gimmicks and a finicky camera. It's no wonder that the developers have quickly built onto the formula with sequels.
