osada
Osada is the latest Amanita Design psychedelic point and click treat.
I am a big fun of Amanita Design games, but was a little disappointed with this one. Interesting but definitely didn't have the replayability or story appeal of their other games. Thanks anyway!
I somewhat agree with Calculus girl, but no matter what the designer(s) smoked, the graphics and music are gorgeous, absolutely fantastic. And sometimes there isn't anything to click because it's a developing story, even if completely nonsensical.
I'll have whatever he's having. From someone that works almost exclusively with Native youth, this isn't insulting. The world has become programmed to overly sensitive, that's the problem.
I liked it. Especially when the police car runs after the men on horses (Native Americans?) and, when I turned the sign, the men on horses run after the police car. It is in the ping pong scene. Good music too. Wow graphic. Fun. Thank you Bart!
I get how you find it offensive; Their always chasing the native's, thats what the game is about, isn't it? But I kind of like it, it had no logic, but the graphics are great.:) Thanks for posting it, Bart.
i absolutely agree that this is very degrading to natives, especially being one myself of siksika heritage. it looks more like a reference to civilizing or 'americanizing' than a game..total dislike and offended.
WOW! I'm the only one here?
ReplyDeleteit´s kinda confusing but i like it :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what has just happened? Whoever made this has a very warped mind indeed.
ReplyDeleteSomeone must have been smoking weed when they made this one!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Jim Carey's website.
ReplyDeleteI take back everything I ever said about Minoto not making enough sense. Compared to this game, Minoto is as logical as a geometry proof!
ReplyDeleteDoes it ever end?
ReplyDeleteContinuous loop?
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, thank you Bart!
ReplyDeletevery pythonesque
ReplyDeleteThis game struck me as really really offensive toward indigenous peoples :/
ReplyDeleteI love it.....
ReplyDeleteThat was pointless...and I agree with the previous comment...insulting.
ReplyDeleteStrange but fun
ReplyDeleteI didn't like it. It was really weird and not fun at all. You just click around and watch as random things happen.
ReplyDeleteinsulted by what exactly?
ReplyDeletePure fun without thinking. Great graphics, sound and atmosphere. Brilliant work of Amanita Design.

ReplyDeleteWell..... That just might be the strangest thing to ever be added to your site Bart! It's quite trippy.

ReplyDeleteIs there an ending? I've been playing for 5 min and it just seems to keep going.
ReplyDeleteI'll have whatever he's having.

wow this is kind of creepy
ReplyDeleteSuper weird and psychedelic. Enjoy the loop.

ReplyDeleteok. What the hell just happened?
ReplyDeleteI liked it.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when the police car runs after the men on horses (Native Americans?) and, when I turned the sign, the men on horses run after the police car.
It is in the ping pong scene.
Good music too.
Wow graphic.
Fun.
Thank you Bart!
ping pong = table tennis
ReplyDeleteI love it. Thanks, Bart
ReplyDeleteI actually like this game. Thanks for posting it Bart :).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't see how it is insulting in anyway.
Okay, I take back my other comment, I can see now how it can be viewed as offensive :/
ReplyDeleteI still like the graphics though.
I LOVE THIS! The music is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteRangooo! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt reminded me a little of Windosill, but with no real puzzles.
ReplyDeleteThe design really evokes an atmosphere.
It's the kind of game you don't forget.
I get how you find it offensive; Their always chasing the native's, thats what the game is about, isn't it? But I kind of like it, it had no logic, but the graphics are great.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting it, Bart.
i agree with Ryan, an interactive flying circus openung

ReplyDeletewhat is this... i don't even....
ReplyDeleteSomeone was definitely high when they though up this story line.
ReplyDelete*thought
ReplyDeleteGood to see something from the brains that brought us Samerost, almost Monty Python style animation, very entertaining :)
ReplyDeleteUhm... well... MAH! Totally nonsense! :D
ReplyDeleteWell, that was.......different.
