Fourmiworld

“Also, the progression was satisfying and I was always looking forward to what was next, because it was tied to a mechanic (the rainbow shards thing) that allowed me to have a clearer objective while I'm looking around for other points of interest, and the upgrades always felt like a nice power spike.”

“The dig 'em up gameplay of exploration and drilling with your mildly-randomized gun makes for an almost zen experience as you guide your cute alien blogger on an expedition through the remains of a long ruined civilization.”

“You make your way around the huge map collecting polygons, which are usually obscured by some kind of puzzle or gameplay challenge (which were the highlights of the game for me), and then you deposit the polygons at a central location to further your progress.”

“Weird and wonderful, with a banger soundtrack and just enough challenge to keep a casual relaxed yet entertained.”

“Visuals and music are great and the gameplay is a wonderful way to get lost in them, it's short too so you should try it.”

“Covered in a huge amount of surreal style and just has a great sense of exploration, you're given free reign to just get out there then dig to wherever your heart desires. If you ever feel like wandering around to happen upon cool sights and funny creatures, I highly recommend giving it a run through. Also, totally listen in to the very nice soundtrack.”

“The scrapbook visuals and compelling digging gameplay with the super surreal story make this an all-timer.”

“Fourmiworld certainly deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the oldschool greats - Cave Story, Iji, Spelunky, Knytt Stories, and so on.”

“The story is there, but it doesn't get in your way.”

“This game has a stunning collage-based art style that creates such an atmosphere.”

“Very cool atmosphere.”

“I was more than happy to drop the extra $5 to support the game's devs. This game is so stylish, sounds and looks great, feels amazing to play, and has an unexpectedly affecting and touching ending.”
