Last year I wrote a post about the beautiful games by Amanita Design and now their game Machinarium is available in the Humble Bundle! For those who've never heard of it: you get five games, you pay what you want and if you beat the average price, you get an extra game!
I couldn't let this chance pass by of course (the bundle is only available for nine more days), so I'm now the proud owner of Splice, Eufloria, Waking Mars, Crayon Physics Deluxe, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery and of course Machinarium!
I bought them all two days ago, and I've already finished Machinarium. It was a wonderful game. Really hard puzzles, beautiful art and a great storyline.
I only played Crayon Physics and Eufloria for a couple of minutes, but it's clear they're both quite ingenious games as well. And another great thing: the games in this Humble Bundle are all playable on Android!
The average price is $6.17 at the moment, so I really can't think of a reason for you not to go play all these games! Even if only for Machinarium.
I've been game addicted ever since I found out computers could also do these fun things. I've had periods where I downloaden five trials a day and played them all. Now I've stopped wasting my time so much and I only play games I really like. Some of these are time management games, because you don't have to think at all while playing (I play these in between studying sessions) but the ones I really like are mostly point and click/adventure/puzzle games. This will be the first post in a series :)
I played Samorost a few years ago and loved it. It all fits together so perfectly! The beautiful environments, the characters, the music.. It's a real adventure to play and the only downside is that it's too short :) Luckily there's a second part!
A few months ago I stumbles across the demo of Machinarium. It's made by the same studio as Samorost. You play as a robot who has been exiled to the scrap heap. You have to get him back to the city to save his robot girlfriend. Once again, this is a beautiful game by Amanita Design. I really wish I had the collectors edition, which comes with the soundtrack on CD and concept art :)
Ever since this game I've been hooked to Amanita Design. The crew consists of eight guys from the Czech Republic.
I wonder why there's one missing...
They don't only design games, but they've also made this lovely music video for the Danish band Under Byen.
They have some other games, which you can all play here. I really recommend doing so :) They also made a book, which you can download as a pdf file!
Looks pretty cute, doesn't it!
I hope you enjoy playing some of their beautiful games :)
