At the time, Amanita said it needed to be able to experiment before it could take an iPad or iPhone port seriously. We last heard about a possible port of the gorgeous new adventure game in October 2011, well before its release on other platforms.

“We are still fully focused on the PC and Mac version of Botanicula,' representative said. But before it can go forward with this version, it needs to go back. Eventually players will be allowed to explore larger levels with many sections, solving puzzles and collecting items in any order they like.Keep crossing your fingers: an iPad or a handset version of Botanicula is still in the cards, Czech developer Amanita Design has told TouchArcade. It’s a fairly linear experience too, especially for the first half. They’re just there for the pleasure of making a flower light up light a light bulb, or watching a bird pull a series of bigger and bigger insects out of a hole (Plus the collectible “Creature Cards” that players earn for each such creature they discover). There are also plenty of objects and creatures that can be clicked on but have nothing to do with puzzles or progressing the plot. These physics effects can also be used to fiddle around with leaves and items that have nothing to do with solving puzzles – it’s just for fun! A few puzzles involve the use of a simple physics engine that allows players to push items around on screen, or use stretchy/ springy effects. Many of the quests and puzzles are entirely optional, and most involve just finding a single item, then bringing it to the right place.

This reduces the difficulty level, but it does increase the whimsical feel of the game (Choosing “Wrong” actually rewards the player with a funny animation of whatever character they choose failing at the task).īotanicula is clearly a game made for fun, rather than challenge.

These puzzles and many more have a trial and error feel to them, but there’s no punishment for making a wrong choice. They travel as a group, with the Player controlling them all for most of the game, and several puzzles involve figuring out which character has the right ability for the task at hand. One can fly, another stretches, yet another can smoosh herself flat. They aren’t able to directly combat the invaders most of the time, so the five critters must use the environment to get around dangerous enemies, and must perform errands to earn the assistance of the other residents of the tree (And engage in the occasional bit of mischief to “Borrow” items they need for their quest).Įach of the playable characters has their own special abilities. Five adorable little plant creatures must work together to save their tree from an invasion of shadowy spider monsters. And it’s such a cute, family-friendly story too.
