Description


Toybox Trouble is a simplified 2-player fighting game with the theme of a little girl violently playing with her toys. The game is stripped down to almost one-dimension; your basic movements are to move left or right, and to dash forward or backward. The only way to damage your opponent is by ramming into them.

The toy can also be held up, which guards against incoming attacks and can be turned into a devastating slam move. However, be careful of the girl's insatiable desire to chew on her toys!
