![]() The music is so good, I found myself reloading the different levels of the game for background music to enjoy as I was writing this review. ![]() Together their efforts have given each environment its own characteristic soundtrack that succeeds in capturing the personality of its visuals. Tomas Dvorak (nickname: floex) composed the music, and Tomas Dvorak (nickname: pif) created the sound effects as he did for the original Samorost. Two talented artists, both named Tomas Dvorak, collaborated to provide all of the audio in Samorost 2, and they have produced some of the finest music and sound effects I've ever heard in a Flash game. Though even larger than its size, Amanita Design has pulled all stops at providing the very best music and sound effects they could find to complement the remarkable visual experiences in the game. There are more animated environments to marvel at, more puzzles to solve, and more interactive elements to click in this second game of the series than ever before. Where Samorost 2 surpasses its well-established predecessor is in its size and its soundtrack. As with the original, there are no gameplay dead-ends: all puzzles remain solvable no matter what you do first, and is a quality in which both Samorost games exhibit excellence in design. And while none of the puzzles are very difficult, there are a couple that will require thought and reasoning to work out what must be done. Some puzzles require multiple actions to be performed some in a particular sequence, and others with precise timing.

What you receive is a zip archive of the entire Samorost 2 game, including both chapters, for a seamless interactive experience.īy virtue of a "2" in its title, there exist expectations for meeting or exceeding the graphics and gameplay standards set by first game in the series, and I am pleased to report that the game does not disappoint on either count. The second chapter is a pay-for-play download ($6.90 USD) that continues at the point of the first chapter's cliffhanger ending. Your mission is to rescue the puppy from its captors. In the first chapter, the main character from the original game-the one you helped save his planet from collision with another-loses his puppy when a couple of aliens trespass on his little planet and dognap his pet. And now, there are two (2) brand new chapters to play in the Samorost universe. The original Samorost is undeniably one of the greatest casual games ever to have graced the Web, and was one of the primary sources of inspiration for the casual games focus of this blog. Samorost 2 is finally here, the sequel to the game that proved to me that amazing and immersive, interactive experiences can be achieved in any browser with Flash.
