Amanita Design | "DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"

One of the most unique-looking and fun indie adventure/puzzle games from a few years back is finally Vita-bound for an excellent price later this month. Amanita Design’s Machinarium is coming on March 26, 2013 for a paltry $6.99 and it’s actually greatly enhanced over the previously released PSN version. A reworked control scheme allows analog sticks or touchscreen movement, a new zoom function allows you to see things a bit closer (the artwork is so intricately detailed that this is a necessity), and PSn leaderboards have been added so you can check your times and mini-game scores against players from all over. Another must-buy indie game for Sony’s handheld? Sure, I’ll take it if it’s one as good as this…

Now that GOG.com is making itself a household name these days among gamers in the know (well, more like gamers in the know who THOUGHT they were cool beans until they got gog.com accounts and are now much cooler), they’re adding even more excellent content like this wonderful looking point & click adventure game by Jaromír Plachý and Amanita Design. I actually wish games like this were a lot more appreciated, as well as available on more platforms (I’d buy it on the Vita for sure), but hey – this is a great start for such a charming little indie game you should probably give a try one of these days…
