Awesome visuals, awesome soundtrack, awesome puzzles. This game makes me remind of the game Machinarium. We never got a sequel to that game but this was kind of refreshing and brought back some great memories. Great game. Very under rated.
I love this artstyle, the game is simple by it's concept, I will play this much more times, even if it's a short game. 10/10.
