Mom's Favorite Toy was shocking in a funny way.\n\nI was a bit confused by the action system. It seemed like it didn't work as I'd expect. I had 3 pretty actions and would use all 3 in a competition but the last one (+4 hearts if you used 2 pretty actions) wouldn't give me +4. It also seemed a bit too straightforward since once I had 3 seemingly good actions I'd just always use those 3 every competition.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1166842,"author_name":"Imos","author_uid":"imos","epoch":1759848953,"text":"A cute game!

I managed to do well with a sock puppet for my playthrough. I liked being able to see the main type of contests coming up, though I am unsure how much that impacted the scores. I would have liked being able to see more judge preferences before I finalized my sticker choices to have some more strategy involved. Without being able to see the judges, other competitors, or even the initial turn order, a lot of the gameplay comes down to luck. Reacting to that luck is okay, but the limit of three actions do not have that much wiggle room.\n\nOne small visual glitch is at the end screen, I am sure I saw bronze medals for the rounds I won and a gold medal for the round I lost, so they must have been swapped. \nThe toys and references were very funny, it could only have been better with more information given.
