Very successful indie game

Describe Botanicula difficult. It's kind of an adventure, but then again not right: there are no dialogues, which can really be called so and tinkering together also no crazy items from the junk in your inventory. Should we also not. What's appealing about Botanicula, easy to explore the game world, to draw anything, but really to click ALL, to slide or run around. The acoustic accompaniment to none and is clearly highlighted: The Soundtrack (! Enclosed on CD, very nice) is wonderfully atmospheric, the sounds of the individual beings in the game are cute and sound in many parts, as if a man mimic different sounds (Bing ! Boing Boing) -! solely the game would have earned five stars.

The graphics are in an adventure in my opinion a secondary point, but I want to examine this: It is consistent for the setting, looks at times look really nice and remembered - what a miracle - in graphic style strongly Machinarium.
The action itself is kept rather cute: The arboreal want to prevent the spiders monster from killing the tree and try to do it, to save a seed of the tree and re-planting. Man controls (always the same, there are only a few places situations where one controls only individual characters) Mr. Lantern, Mr. Poppyhead Mrs. Mushroom, Mr. Feather and Mr. Twig criss-crossing the whole tree and meets doing all sorts of bizarre inhabitants.

A small gripe, I regret to specify it: The game is really very short, I had it through in about five hours and missed the cards by little. But that does not unduly adversely incorporated because it is - the comparison in a review of a children's book makes it quite well - can really run through many times without getting bored ... You will always find little things that you still have not discovered ( or even already forgotten) had.
