The Tiny Bang Story

Looks like a very cool game. I really want to grab it... but I just can't justify making any more entertainment purchases. I really can't. But I wanted to make this post to keep it on my radar, because I love the look of it. Watched a few YouTube vids and it looks like a really great puzzle game with some gorgeous art.

That looks pretty neat.  Visually, it reminds me of the Samarost games and Machinarium.  I will definitely have to get it at some point.

On sale today on Steam for $3.40. I bit. Will post impressions later, whenever I actually get around to playing it (will be in Cali for 2 weeks for Sy's wedding).

Well, I finally got to play it a little. Finished up the first area. It's sort of... I don't know. Not sure what to think of it so far. It's very pretty, has a lot of great art, and the gameplay seems to be almost sort of an interactive kid's art book. You sort of get these little quests or jobs to do that involve finding things, then you go around the environments finding them. Basically a pixel hunt, which can be annoying if something is impossible to find. Thankfully you can also click these little flies that buzz around, and if you get a few, you unlocked a hint thingy that can give you a hint where something is or how to solve a puzzle. Usually once you get the things you need you open or turn on something, and there may or may not be a puzzle involved. Puzzles seem reasonable so far. There's also kind of a jigsaw puzzle deal going on where you find pieces of the world as you go and then put it together at the end of an area. Some of the puzzles boil down to that too.

Again, I've only finished the first area, but that's about the size of it. It doesn't sound that compelling but it's a very relaxing kind of game, an enjoyable diversion with some light puzzle stuff. I dig it.
