Creaks

Dogs, jellyfish and switches, that's it. I was expecting it to be as fun as machinarium, but this is a pure puzzle platformer and puzzles are not interesting, there's hundreds of these on newgrounds and for free, some of them are ingenious, this on the other hand is low effort gameplay, not worth your money. Sorry, not a fanboy. I leave it with 3 stars for the art which is decent.

I'm used to Amanita making point-and-click puzzle games. However, this one is played completely without a mouse. The mouse is disabled completely in the game, even in the menu's. The game seemed a bit boring in the beginning, the puzzles were simple and it builds rather slow (and there was A LOT of ladder climbing). But eventually the puzzles become more challenging and the story begins to pick up and becomes more interesting. As the game progresses you'll meet new enemies that behave differently and you have to think about their behaviour as to how to solve the puzzles. The puzzle element really shines in this game. If you like a slow-paced puzzle platform game without combat, this is for you.

Some might feel the game is a little short for it's price tag, but that doesn't matter. After just ten minutes it became clear this game is full of heart, quirky characters. The puzzles aren't too hard yet still challenging enough to give you that yahoo moment when you complete each one. A really delightful game. I especially love how the entire 'world' it put together as a single location that you eventually visit every nook and cranny, and travelling past previous locations as the story progresses really grounds you in this make believe place full of ladders and furniture monsters! Definitely worth getting!

I enjoyed playing this game, with its quirky art style, sound track composed by Floex and simple, but engaging storyline. The puzzles, which make up most of this game, do get somewhat repetitive after a while, although the introduction of new characters with different behaviours helps to keep them interesting. I would have liked for the player character to be more involved in the story that unfolds - initially he is only a spectator. He does interact much more closely with the other characters towards the end of the story, though. The game also features paintings for the player to find, some of which were interactive. To be honest, I did not really see the point of those. They had very little baring on the events in the game, and I did not find them very interesting artistically. I hope that, in future games, Amanita will focus on the story more, as they did in Machinarium and the Samorost series.

One of the most gorgeous games I have ever played. Every level attacks your eyes with milion little details and around every corner you will find something new.
