    A truly beautiful puzzle game that soothes the mind and engages your imagination as well as your intellect. Perhaps not for the most dedicated puzzle enthusiasts but surely something that will leave most gamers smiling afterwards.

    Although short in duration, and actually not very difficult, The Tiny Band Story is a great game in a genre with few titles nowadays.

    The Tiny Bang Story has a ton of puzzles and a great atmosphere. You can't deny that a lot of love has been put into this game. One of our few major gripes however is that you will notice there's a lack of variety, as you progress through this pretty short game. If you can look past this matter, you will find an absolutely charming point and click game that you may fall in love with.

The puzzlesThis is a very casual and relaxing puzzle game for all ages. The whimsical artwork and airy soundtrack made it an pleasant escape. The puzzles are challenging enough to be fun, but not impossible. I could see how the die hard puzzle fanatics would fine this too simple, but for just the casual enthusiast, it offers plenty of enjoyment.… Full Review »

While the music is great, the artwork is adorable, and I would really like to play it...there is no tutorial, so I cannot tell whether it's generally not working, or I'm not seeing something obvious.
    Will not be purchasing the full copy, unfortunately, although I had high hopes for it.    … Full Review »

The main reason is that it comes across as a Machinarium-esque point-and-click adventure, while in actuality it is primarily a hidden object game. I'm not a big fan of the genre, but this one implements it in such a way that I never found myself bored or annoyed with it.

    While most hidden object games have you aimlessly searching for objects that have no relevance in the story or surroundings, The Tiny Bang Story only has you look for objects that affect you, such as missing pieces to a machine you need to repair.

    Don't get me wrong, the game isn't entirely focused on finding objects. There are plenty of puzzles and quirky contraptions to figure out.

    The second reason I think the game is underrated is because if you use a guide, which I'm assuming a lot of people do, the game will be extremely short. I didn't use a guide, so it took me about 5 hours to complete. Had I used a guide I probably could have finished it in an hour.

    The presentation of the game definitely deserves a 10. The art and music coincide in a really awesome way, and the sheer amount of imagination and detail put into this title had me engrossed from the start. I'd recommend it, not just for the entertaining gameplay, but for the unique experience.    … Full Review »
