“This is pretty creepy, Mom,” said Luc at one point. While the later levels become increasingly dark and eerie as the heroes descend into the depths of the tree,Īnd then to the destroyed parts of the tree that are dying or already dead,Īnd further still, into the heart of the problem.

The first levels are gorgeous, luminous, full of humor and strange, friendly characters. A simple story that belies the depth of the engagement it drew from Luc, 6, and I as we played through it together.įirstly, you can’t talk about Botanicula without talking about the art which is phenomenal. And so interesting to look at! So when I found out that Amanita had a new full length game out this April, I was super excited.īotanicula, designed by Jaromír Plachý of Amanita, is a point and click adventure/puzzler with a cast of tiny adorable heroes who are trying to save their beautiful tree from creepy spider parasite things that are slowly killing it. He looks like a very nice guy, don’t you think?Ĭertainly his games have a wonderful sense of humor, a quirky charm, and a whimsy that I find tremendously enjoyable.

I have written before about Samorost (which you can play for free at that link-and which Luc has played through a dozen times by now), Samorost 2 (a $5 download) and Machinarium, (free demo at the link), all games made by Czech game designer and artist, Jakub Dvorský, founder of Amanita. botanicula - review by maya in reviews 2 Comments on May 6, 2012Īround here we are HUGE fans of Amanita Design and their wonderful games. I love all this stuff! I love when someone’s creations make me feel more alive and happy! Doing strange things in the name of art, playing, that’s the best kind of life to live, if you ask me. I’ll leave you with Katwise’s Benny Hill-style video of the making of one of the coats, not to be missed, it will make you laugh. And if you haven’t had enough of looking at her coats, here are a bunch more. For a little more, here is an interview Ms. Here is Katwise’s site, full of amazing stuff. Don’t blink! Because they sell out completely in minutes.Īn artist who is making good money at her craft! I love that!Ĭoats are not all she has painted technicolor in her self-proclaimed cartoon life. Apparently, every two weeks she puts up photos of the next batch of coats on her facebook page, and posts the day and time when they will go on sale.

In fact, if you go by her etsy shop, you’ll find nothing but the tutorial on how to makes them for sale. No surprise that the coats are huge sellers, the things are gorgeous. Where does she get all these sweaters? She must have them shipped in from thrift stores across the country! I could go on and on, adding images of sweater coats, each as amazing as the last. She takes old sweaters and upcycles them into amazing coats and capes and garments exploding with whimsy, fun, mystery, delight. Katwise (on etsy) is one of the best I’ve run across and she’s a bit of a phenomenon so chances are good, if you like Etsy at all, you’ve already heard of her.
I adore rummaging around Etsy, I always find cool people doing cool things who inspire me.
