It&#8217;s part of Xbox Live&#8217;s Summer of Arcade and it&#8217;s an awesome puzzle side-scrolling game with very stylistic art. People have complained that the game&#8217;s too short for its 1200pt cost (~$15) and I do agree the game&#8217;s a bit short. It took me about 4 hours to complete, but this is probably one of the first games I&#8217;ve completed in years and the sense of accomplishment is awesome. The best part of the game was actually dying and seeing it&#8217;s death animation sequences. Those were so cool!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3163\" title=\"Machinarium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/machinarium.jpg\" alt=\"Machinarium\" width=\"480\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/machinarium.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/machinarium-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But this blog post is really to talk about a new game I recently heard about. Ars Technica had an article earlier this week: <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/news\/2010\/08\/machinarium-suffers-95-piracy-rate-offers-5-amnesty-sale.ars\">Machinarium suffers 90% piracy rate, offers $5 amnesty sale<\/a>. I decided to check out what the game&#8217;s about and it turns out to be a clicking puzzle game containing very beautiful artwork and music. You can play a couple levels via their demo on their website: <a href=\"http:\/\/machinarium.net\/demo\/\"><strong>Machinarium Demo<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For $5, this is an awesome deal and I&#8217;m pretty sure I can get $5 worth of entertainment from it. Heck, I probably already got it from the demo. Plus I didn&#8217;t realize it also came with the game soundtrack and as I mentioned earlier, the music for the game is beautiful!<\/p>\n<p>However due to my recent acquirement of StarCraft II (belated birthday gift from Perry &#8211; thanks!), I&#8217;m afraid I have to choose SC2 over Machinarium at the moment. I&#8217;ll definitely come back to it at a later time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook, you&#8217;ve probably seen me praising Limbo to no end.
