    Tried the demo, but could not get past the first puzzle. 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.

    The game and sounds are beautiful, but very short. Playing time is less than 1 hr. Consider this and compare with the price you are offered. For what I paid it was way, WAY overpriced for that duration.

    Some of the "puzzles" are in my opinion horribly simple and seem to be there only the make the game longer.

    I had never played a hidden object game before - at least, not in recent times - and seeing as I already owned (and had installed) this game, I figured, why not try it out?

    As it turns out, this game is pretty meh. The core gameplay is, unsurprisingly, searching the environment for bits to solve puzzles with, then solving little puzzle minigames.

There is no story, and while the style is decent enough, there's really very little reason to care about this game - it is pure gameplay, and the gameplay just isn't very gripping, as all it is is basically "find the objects hidden in plain sight".    … Expand

    This game is a Where's Waldo game for random objects. Find all the light bulbs, find all the gears, etc.

    The Tiny Bang Story has some nice art, but it is uninspired as a puzzle game, and it punishes the player before providing hints. Buy this game for a dollar when it appears in the Steam discount bin.

    It's very pretty, but for a game so enamoured with the action, it never clicks. [Jan 2012, p.141]

    The Tiny Bang Story is a perfect lunch break companion, but it doesn't offer enough for a long lasting appeal.

    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.
