When I first saw screenshots of this game, I almost cried with joy:

When I saw the trailers I shed a tear of joy:

When I got to play the demo, tears of joy flew from my face. I would have been incredibly happy just to see still images that looked this fantastic, but when they have been made to be interactive, and when it has been done this well, something magical occurs. The artwork is gorgeous and plucking at my heart strings with every new scene, the characters, the environments, aren’t just pretty, they are clever in many senses as well. The puzzles are put together in a way that actually make you do some thinking, and make you smile when you solve them. The animation is top notch as well, there are a lot of nice little touches throughout the demo with little bits of interaction that are fantastic.

I have never played a game that was just so gorgeous that I played through a demo many times just to checkout the artwork some more. Bravo!!!!

One more thing to just further my obsession with little robots, I welcome more! . .
