Samorost and Samorost 2

Samorost and Samorost 2 are two point and click adventure games from Amanita Design. After playing Civilization IV for 30 hours or so, these two games offered brief but enjoyable gameplay. In fact, each game can be finished in a single sitting, which I did. The Samorost adventures are visually striking Adobe Flash games featuring uniquely styled artwork and cute characters. The puzzles are fair and not overly complicated. Like many point and click adventures, however, you are sometimes forced to hunt and peck around the screen for clickable items with which to interact. I enjoyed both games, but the sequel was the longer and somewhat more difficult of the two.
