point-n-click adventure game from czech based amanita design.

i've been loving the hell out of this for a solid day straight already and i've got quite a bit more to go before i'll be at the end. the game is just fresh as all hell. and it's beautiful. everything is hand drawn. the puzzles are a good mix of not too easy but hard enough to really make you think at times. and i love the fact that there's no dialogue. just weird robot buzzing noises as far as communication between the characters. and there are these little day dream speech bubble type deals. and it works. you never feel like you don't understand what's going on. (although you're not meant to ultimately get it with this game, kind of like shadow of the colossus on ps2.) icing on the cake is the soundtrack, which you can get as a separate download if you buy the full version.

this game just screams awesome all around.

definitely worth checking out. and if you dig the demo, the full version is only 20 bucks. it's a steal.

wow this is fun! lol

how do i get the bridge down lol.
[spoiler]
i colored the cone blue and put it on my head and pulled the string, but I can't get the guy to let the bridge down

I also noticed if u click on the birds they fly, and 1 will fly over the view of there the light bulb needs tobe on my head to match a guard guy, but it's only for a split second! is this what i need to do?

Edit:
I realize I need to get the light bulb from the street lamp, but I can't get it And I can't get anything when I click on the rope. Grr!

Edit: OHHHHHHH I get it!

i just got stuck on the 3rd part for like 20 mins...felt like a moron when i figured it out....

[Jason]

it gets progressively harder and much more fun/rewarding, too.

i'm probably halfway in and the puzzles are pretty damn tough, but when you figure them out you can't help but laugh/smile.

i just love the overall visual style.

Lol, this is a nice game! I might consider buying it just because it supports Linux. :-D

i'm at such a good part right now. i'm in this arcade playing invaders. yep, old school invaders. took forever to get this far though. we're talking pretty much an entire day straight of playing, minus piss and coffee breaks and a little downtime for lunch and an afternoon walk.

the puzzles are starting to get crazy.

That's why you shouldn't not download it via torrent.

Reminds me of a combination between 9 and the Coca Cola campaign.

I am stuck on level 3, I get where I need to go, but I just don't get how to get there....

Spoiler for solving lvl 3:
First ascend the stairs and grab the hook. Attach it to the end of the hand rail at the top. Then descend the stairs to over by the water tower. Shrink down to your small size and then reach across to the little gauge on the wall. Try combinations until you get the pipe into the hole directly above the staircase. Go to the stop of the stairs and maximize your size. Climb across and grab the wedge. Jump down and descend the stairs. Walk as close to the water tower as you can and then toss the wedge down. Now you can push the handrail from the bottom of the staircase to trigger the switch. Eventually a cart crashes, you steal its wheels, push the rail again, and finish.

Samorost was fun. (I think that was his first game's name)

I'll check the demo out then, I suppose.

Edit: Demo was so short. Sigh )=
