Well, i haven't finished it yet, but i can say this, best $20 i spent in a long, long time.
This is one of the most beautiful games i've ever played. Every detail shows just how much love went into this game and how talended its creators really are. And it proves yet again that there's definitely a place for art in videogames.
Lovely art style, unbelieavbly good actually. The backgrounds are amazing and the characters are just too cute, even the bad guys. Every single animation so far is exquisite, so well done, so detailed, so freaking good.
The soundtrack, by Tomas Dvorak, well, it fits perfectly with the game world and i would have paid $20 for the soundtrack (14 tracks) alone. Yes, it's that good.
Anyone who ever dabbled a bit with it knows that AS it's probably not the greatest choice in the world to make a game, but let me tell you, after (parttially) playing this game i could swear differently. Everything works as it should, silky smooth.
The puzzles, even the easyer ones, are extremely well done. Very original ways of recycling a couple of 'i've seen this before' kind of puzzles. Every single one has a little something extra that makes it worthwhile going through the basic concept of the puzzle. Also lots of original not so easy ones. A very good mix difficulty wise, really.
And to think that i bothered the guy who dreamed up this masterpiece with my pre order mail problems and that he was so incredibly nice about sorting things out for me. Just goes to show how awesome Jakub is.
Whatever Amanita comes up with next, yep, instabuy right here cause these are definitely the kind of Devellopers i want to support.
I paied for the game, but i probably won't ever be able to shake the feeling that i still owe something to these guys...
Edit: Finished it now. Yeah, this one's s rare gem.
