Sunday
I figured after the insane pace I’d been going at, I would sit my butt down and play some games Sunday. Hei and I choose Samorost made by Amanita Design as our first victim. That was probably a bad plan because after Samorost’s soft colours and gorgeousness, everything else looks like Nintendo circa 1989. Thusly, the only logical follow up for the inevitable sadness that was finding ourselves finished with Samorost was Samorost 2.
The jist is you’re a quiet little guy living on your quiet little stump-planet in space when suddenly you find yourself in peril from an obliviously oncoming stumproid. Jumping in your tincan rocket, you blast off to try to save your home from splintery destruction. Now you have to solve the puzzles to get to where you’re going to. Some of them are easy and some of them are easy in the “duh, why did I not think of that earlier?” way. In short, we loved it. It was so fabulous it hurt.
I’m preparing to go downstairs and explore the Edu Science Deluxe Scientist Kit Hei got for her birthday. All she asked for was educational stuff. I’m not sure if that means I’m a good mom or a boring one. Either way, today is all about energy and physics so I’m hoping I don’t break anything. If you don’t see me again, I probably got a test tube to the eye…

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just played Samorost two weeks or so ago – it was finished waayyy to quickly. I didn’t find the second instalment. Off to play now!

@ Strathconon:
Didn’t you just love it? It’s so fabulous.
I haven’t played the other games on the site yet but I am sooooo going to!

I’m stuck, though, in Samorost2. Where he lands on the tube and it breaks off? The one with the woodlice in the back? Can’t figure out how to go from there. Heh. Maybe I should start a thread at our usual place.

@ Strathconon:
You have to get rid of the block so one of the wood lice can go higher.
