There are a number of very difficult problems to solve, but the frustration that this would normally induce is negated by a very clever hint system. But for the most part the gameplay is very traditional. There are also a few minigames to be encountered-including a full-blown Space Invaders clone-that help add some variety. The majority of your time will be spent collecting items and solving various puzzles, which allow you progress to new areas where you can collect more items and solve more puzzles. Machinarium is a point-and-click adventure through and through, though it's not without its own unique twists on the format. When it comes to actually playing the game, though, things are pretty straightforward. The same goes for the soundtrack in the game, which features subtle, ambient music and sound effects that feel very organic. And with the smooth character animations, the game looks, moves, and feels like a top-tier animated movie. The various robots you encounter are all distinct, as are the various different areas, which makes the idea of exploring that much more enticing. Machinarium sports an absolutely stunning art style, with completely hand-drawn characters and backgrounds that are packed with detail and personality. Titleīut while the story is what will keep you interested as the game moves along, the visuals are what will grab you. And when the main character stands still for too long, he begins to daydream about his missing girlfriend. Flies pester a bartender while robotic cats snooze on rooftops. You'll see elderly robots heading to church and musicians playing in the street. The world created by Amanita Design feels undeniably real. But for those who take the time, there is much to enjoy. Of course, since there is no written or spoken dialog-character interactions are conveyed solely through animations and thought bubbles-the story can be easy to miss, so it's not entirely mandatory. Think of it as Wall-E meets 1984 with a steampunk makeover. Though initially appearing to be nothing more than a cute adventure starring quirky robots, the game slowly reveals itself to be a touching tale of separated lovers and a crumbling society straining underneath an oppressive leadership. There is no exposition at all-largely because there is no actual dialog in the game-so the bits of story you do pick up throughout the adventure are sparse but meaningful. You're a robot who has been trapped in some sort of prison-like facility and you need to escape. can I use a picture (screenshot/wallpaper/artwork - probably edited a little to remove stuff I don't want), or would that fall under copyright or something?Īnd, does anyone know a good resolution picture of the cat? The only slightly large one I can find is on the wallpaper but it has it's legs cut off.Machinarium wastes no time at all getting you familiar with its world, dropping you directly into the action without any form of introduction. I heard that cafepress prints on individual order, does anyone know if this means I could mail them and ask if they could do that?ĮDIT: Ok, so I just saw that you can indeed create your own t-shirts by uploading a photo or artwork, a really cool service! But. It's just that I really don't like white clothes :/
Or the cat without background, that would be awesome! I would love to have a black one with either the band (as on the white one) or if possible something like on the dock icon, but without the rubbish pile, only the characters (and no machinarium on back). I just had the idea to look if there were any t shirts with machinarium, and I see there are But I think it is really a shame that there isn't one in black.
