So if you happened to miss out on the game the first time around, now is your chance to experience one of last year's best titles for an absurdly low price. Machinarium is the award-winning independent adventure game developed by the makers of Samorost, Botanicula and CHUCHEL. Of course, this sale doesn't just apply to pirates. Until August 12, the game-which is playable on PC, Mac, and Linux-and its soundtrack will cost just $5, which is 75 percent off the regular $20 asking price. In an attempt to give those 85-95 percent of players a chance to make amends, Amanita is having what it's calling a Pirate Amnesty sale. "Our estimate from the feedback is that only 5-15 percent of Machinarium players actually paid for the game." "We released the game DRM-free which means it doesn’t include any anti-piracy protection, therefore the game doesn’t bother players serial codes or online authentication, but it’s also very easy to copy it," Amanita's Jakub Dvorsky explained. Now it looks like Machinarium-an excellent point-and-click adventure game from Czech developer Amanita Design-is sadly suffering the same fate. Machinarium is cross-platform the PC version supports Linux, Mac OS, or Windows and is found on Steam, or if you’re into mobile: Android and iOS (limited to the iPad 2 it seems).When World of Goo came to the PC with no DRM, it eventually turned out that 90 percent of the people who played the game did so by pirating it. Machinarium is available for purchase in the Ubuntu Software Centre for $10.00, or you may have gotten it as part of the Humble Bundle for Android 4 lineup.īuy Machinarium from the Ubuntu Software Centre Having said that, my chief problem was cursor drift within the game, which I found was solved when disabling the full-screen mode, then the game ran relatively smoothly. ![]() Machinarium uses Adobe Flash as it’s engine suffice to say, there are performance issues on Linux. However, like most puzzle games, it’s replayability is lost when the answers are known. If you’re into logic-puzzle games, Machinarium is perfect -thankfully, it has built in hints for those inevitable moments of frustration. ![]() With the entire game being hand-drawn, it gives the dystopic Machinarium a certain whimsy, and the industrial trip-hop soundtrack is quite befitting as well. When you reach the end of each path, you are presented with three buttons. Each path has a payload youll need to transfer and is connected to one of the bosss arms. The folks over at Amanita Design seem to have a knack for beautiful games, and Machinarium is no exception. When you enter Doryanis Machinarium, there are three paths you can travel and a staircase that leads to an empty boss room. Like the rest of the game, the walkthrough is not written or spoken, but is a series of sketches describing the current puzzle and how to solve it. Each level has a use-once hint available, which becomes less useful the further you progress.Īlternatively, beating a side-scrolling mini-game unlocks a walkthrough for the current puzzle. If you get stuck, the game does provide some help. Within the game, your interaction is limited to objects within the robot’s reach, fortunately our hero is drawn to items of interest so you’re not left dragging the cursor about trying find some sign of interactivity.īeyond standing and picking up things, our robot hero has some abilities (albeit they are rather mundane): he can stretch and squish his torso and extend his arms to reach and interact with things that may be of some use to him, some of which he’ll eat for use later. Instead, you are guided through the game by a series of animated thought bubbles from the player’s character, and from the various characters you interact.Īt no point is Machinarium obviously straightforward, solving the puzzles does require a degree of logic. Machinarium is notable in that it contains no written or spoken dialogue, at least not understandably so. Yet the game focuses on our unassuming robot friend and his simple desire to return to his absent female companion, after being accidentally dumped in the scrap yard. Whilst quiet in its narrative, Machinarium is rife with plot an unexplained bomb plot against the city, combined with an opportunistic kidnapping. Like most role-playing games, you control the titular character, in this case a robot, as you guide him through the eponymous city, collecting items and solving environmental puzzles. Machinarium, is another artfully designed puzzler from Amanita Design. Follow the story of an atypical robot hero set out to rescue his robot-girlfriend, and in turn save the city and defeat the bad guys.
