Been playing this lately (now that DA frenzy has ended) for relaxation. It's a puzzle adventure-ish indie game with gorgeous graphics and music. Very much worth the 15 bucks or so.

I've played some more yesterday...some puzzles are hard-ish to get the idea behind, but once you get into the right mindset it's ok. And even if you do get stuck there's always a minigame (sort of classic Defender) you can play to unlock the instructions for what to do next.

If I were gay and/or a girl, I would say that the robot is adorable too. Which I'm not saying. *cough*

homo.

anyway, i played a bit and it seemed ok. it's a classic point and click adventure / puzzle as far as i can see. My only gripe, is the gripe I have with all other point and click puzzle games... Some of the logic i can't really tune into. E.g. the very first part, where you need to get your arm that's fallen into the puddle, I would have thought you simply throw the magnet rope down there and lift it up, but apparently I had to bend some pole and swing the magnet rope on top of that.

Yeah, it's true (not the homo part). But still, once you spend a little time in the game you get with it pretty easily. And if not you can always ask for hints...they're pretty well worked out (integrated in the game).
