    This 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.

    This game is underrated for a couple reasons. 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.

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.    … Expand

    Beautiful graphics style and amazing music. A great mix of point-and-click and puzzles. Really charming and funny. Only complaint is that it is a little short for its price.

    Beautiful artwork and soundtrack. Mostly logical, but can be frustrating when you miss one object. Some of the puzzles are very difficult for me, I'm not sure how someone can finish in an hour without cheating. Felt a little anticlimactic at the end in that the last puzzle is by no means the hardest. Still I enjoyed the game overall and liked the music and artwork.

    This is an entertaining game, tricky at times. If you enjoy mild puzzle games then download the demo, it gives plenty to see if it's your kind of game.

    This game was actually very surprising and enjoyable, I got it in an Indie bundle. The soundtrack and graphics are beautifully done and the puzzles are fun but sometimes they can be a little frustrating, but not very difficult by any means just a little hard to figure out what you have to do. The game is a little short...the play time for me was around 2 hours or 2 hours thirty minutes.This game was actually very surprising and enjoyable, I got it in an Indie bundle.

    This is a cute hidden object/puzzle solving game with beautiful artwork and a relaxing soundtrack. Of course there are a few tricky puzzles and difficult to find items, but overall it's pretty casual and laid back. My only critique is that you don't have to find all of the puzzle pieces to beat the game.

    Очень интересная игра.В свою очередь первым делом игра покажет вам мир который нарисован полностью вручную,отличную музыку и увлекательные головоломки.Головоломки иногда могут вас повернуть в тупик,но в основном такого не будет.И 99 рублей для этой игры слишком дешево.

    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.
