I have to say I really liked this game, one that seems to achieve a charming sense of discovery and joy.

2 Like i love all these new generation Weird artistic out of this world kind of side scrollers that have been coming up the past 2 years. i plan to get this on mac
looks interesting... its very abstract art that looks great but other that.....that is all got for it looks great but I would have to try it out first before i can say anything.
@Masenkoe You might also assume I have a computer that can handle something non-demanding. However in fact I have a computer that barley operates and functions to get on the internet, let alone play Chess or Solitaire, and certainly not Botanicula.
2 Like I love indie games. You don't hear anything about them and then suddenly they appear on XBLA and you can get them straight away! Better than waiting years for a AAA title any day.
Already preordered this on GOG. :D Amanita makes really fantastic stuff and the extra goodies from GOG make it totally worth getting. :)
1 Like bah i love games like this, but i never want to pay full price for something so short with zero replay value.
1 Like Great review Mark. Amanita's games are so wonderful. Point and Click isn't dead! And the Humble Bundle is amazing value. Get!
@erik2005 - it might take a while, but I'd be extremely surprised if it didn't get ported after the success Amanita had with Machinarium.
1 Like http://www.humblebundle.com/ You can get the game, along with the Machinarium and a few others.
This game is currently part of the Humble Indie Bundle. You should look this up. It is a pay what you want, for charity, for a collection of games. The games can be added on Steam and work on Windows, Mac, Linux as far as I know.
@CruiserCaptain i don't know how a point and click game could work on PS. unless you mean vita only
