No crazy space-alien abducts my dog and gets away with it!

Friday, August 15th, 2008 Games

Apparently starting a new job makes you all sorts of “busy”. Taking in so much new information (from names & faces) to the little details and of course the giant details really takes a lot of concentration!

I’m not too busy to randomly find things on the internet! I found this cute little online game called Samarost (1&2), made by a small company that goes by the name of amanita design. (Hey! My name is in there! awesome!)

I found this company’s site through finding another one of their games on the BBC Kids site. The game in question is called… Questionaut. It is a sort of educational game aimed at 11 year olds. It. Is. Awesome. The art work in all of their games sets my imagination on fire.  The style really envokes a sense of wonder, and despite having google ads down the side of the page – I really feel like I’m on a different planet.

In Questionaut, you play a character who bravely and honourably decides to chase after your friends lost hat. Flying around in your hot air balloon, you float to different levels where answering questions correctly gives you enough fuel to float to the next… until you find the hat.

In Samarost 1&2, you play this namelesss white-PJ wearing boy… He can only be described as brave, smart, lucky, and… cute! You face adventures such as turning away an impending meteor, or chasing down the aliens that abducted your dog. Samarost 2 even has a second chapter which you can purchase.

And I think you should.
