"A combination of Samorost-style puzzling and casual item collection, this wordless Russian adventure tells the tale of a planet broken literally into pieces after being hit by an asteroid."  http://www.adventuregamers.com/newsitem.php?id=2242

I just discovered a game that looks quite like Machinarium or Samorost, but does not seem to be related to Amanita: http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/12507/mac/the-tiny-bang-story/index.html
Is this OK?


yes!

It's a wonderfull game with sweet graphics and cool puzzles!

[Horseman]

Yes, I agree. It's a very nice game developed by Colibri Games.

The game can be downloaded through steam and playism (Japan), but it wasn't released physically yet. And I only buy games in physical format.  

By the way, look at these pictures. Very similar locations I think:

I love how the graphics of these games..."COINCIDES" 





"столб: найди 10 отличий". хи-хи

[Horseman]

Mariya, actually I wrote about the same in the post above.    But I see more similarities between these two pictures, look to the arrangement of the objects: a jug and a tower with guardian, a bottle and a wall with gates, a bridge (look at my pictures), a wires and of course, a column.  
Anyhow, interesting that not only me found these screens.  

Maybe Colibri Games developers is a fans by "Machinarium".

Alex, very funny!  

"Imitation is the sincerest [form] of flattery"  

Agree.

имитировано довольно много ) игра-то в принципе нормальная.вот я бы (если бы была художником ) намеренно нарисовала всё по-другому, чтобы "не как у этих чехов из Аманиты Дизайн". профессиональная гордость какая-то должна быть, что ли

Just as we've been saying all along... 

What was the inspiration for The Tiny Bang Story?
We are always inspired by the masterpieces of Dutch classic art, but the first impulse for the creation of The Tiny Bang Story was Machinarium - a very beautiful game.

By the way, I'm going to purchase the Collector's Edition of this game.

I immediately felt a connection to Machinarium as soon as I played this gorgeous game! The frustrating pipes puzzle is definitely inspired by Amanita. 

Everyone, do yourself a favor and get the free soundtrack. It's some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard in a video game (along with Machinarium etc of course.)

By the way, does anyone know what's going on with Colibri Games, the makers of Tiny Bang Story? They're from Russia so it's hard to contact them, but does anyone know if they're still making games? I can't wait for a sequel!
