Colibri Games’ The Tiny Bang Story is a whopping 75% off as today’s Steam Daily Deal, and if your PC or Mac is lacking the title you probably should swipe it up right now (or at least before tomorrow at approximately 10 AM PT). If the game was discounted this low during the holiday sale I completely missed the boat, as this is the first time I can recall the well received adventure, puzzle, and hidden object hybrid being available for less than lunch.
Like another game we have our eye on, Tiny Bang Story has no text instead opting for non-verbal communication and the player’s own intuition to fix machines/mechanisms and solve puzzles. Highly reputable games guy John Walker had this to say about it in an article entitled “Oh My Goodness, Play The Tiny Bang Story“ back in May of last year (just after its launch):
“The name comes from the ridiculously cute idea of a very tiny planet being split up into dozens of jigsaw puzzle pieces when it’s hit by a meteor. But nothing else goes bang here. In fact, it’s about as calming and sedate as you could hope for. This is, in fact, the exact midpoint between an Amanita adventure and a hidden object game, and it’s a brilliant place to be.”
Walker also mentions the game would be better suited at a $5-$7.50 price instead of $10, so here’s a great chance to get it for much less if TTBS sounds like your kind of flavor. It’s SteamPlay so you get both PC and Mac versions of the game should that sway you. Those on the fence can check out the PC Demo directly from the Steam page, and here’s the game’s launch trailer for your further consideration:
