Visually, before watching any footage of the game, I was hoping that the signature Amanita Design charm would still be present despite the disturbing aesthetic. Each level has its own icon that is a nice throwback to either a character or a puzzle from that stage. Once you finish a specific level, you can come back to it through the level select in the title screen. Playing Happy Game like that makes it feel like a very horrific toy you’re playing with instead of you trying to make a little boy happy again while going through nightmares.Įxpect to be tapping to move the little boy, dragging different things to complete puzzles, and more here. The way the developer’s design the puzzles, even the latter gives you good visual and audio feedback in most situations. Just like Amanita Design’s Botanicula and Chuchel, the puzzles in Happy Game will either instantly click and pull you in further, or involve tapping all over the screen to try and progress. Happy Game is a psychedelic horror experience that involves all sorts of disturbing and creepy characters in addition to blood, flashing lights, and puzzles. Since none of them overstay their welcome, it is easier to do, and replaying an amazing game like Botanicula never gets old. I love the developer’s games, and usually try to play them across different platforms over time. Unlike a few of Amanita Design’s recent new releases, Happy Game is a premium game, and not an Apple Arcade release.
