All Shapes & Sizes: Machinarium

All Shapes & Sizes is a section about games of all types, formats, shapes and sizes. I'll be talking about anything from board games, to hardcore genres on consoles trying to cover everyone's tastes.

As i've mentioned previously, i'm a gamer. I like games of all shapes and sizes, as long as they have heart. And this game i'm about to tell you about, is all about heart.

It was created by a tiny Czech company called Amanita Design that were the ones that brought us the cutest little flash games called Samorost and Samorost 2. Both of them were old school Point & Click games with astounding artwork and beautiful atmospheric music.

They took a system that works, and created Machinarium. Its the tale of a cute little robot as he tries to rescue his girlfriend from the clutches of a gang of wrongdoers. With some nerve wrecking puzzles and amazing atmosphere, i really think that this is a game everyone should try, but not everyone might have the patience to finish.

Well, if you're intrigued, you can try there game here, and if you like it, it is on sale for only 5$ till the 12th of August, and as a bonus you even get the whole soundtrack!

I really like supporting Indie Developers, as they are the ones that are not bound to push out mindless sequels just to cash in on the name of a product instead of making creative and different new ideas for games. So with your help, you could make a difference by keeping this little gem of a developer alive.

hope you enjoy it!
