Who are the Smiling Critters in Escape from Playtime?
They're the 1989 Playtime Co. toy line, turned into small experiments. In this game you play as mini versions of them. You crawl, jump and climb through the factory, collect parts for The Voice and try to get out alive. Playing a critter also gives you its own abilities.
Who else will you meet?
The Voice
A broken toy radio set up as a shrine. It sends the critters into the factory and demands tribute. See Escape from Playtime The Voice.
Barry
The cart you bring items back to. Every item you put in counts toward the shift's quota, and the exit opens once the quota is met.
Monsters like Miss Delight and Boogie Bot are listed under Escape from Playtime enemies.
FAQ
Eight playable Smiling Critters. Four are open from the start and four unlock through progression.
CatNap, Hoppy Hopscotch, Bobby BearHug and DogDay.
No. The Founders Pack only adds shiny cosmetic versions of the critters. The KickinChicken, Bubba Bubbaphant, PickyPiggy and CraftyCorn variants show up once you've unlocked those critters through normal progression.
