Weekend fun: Machinarium

The puzzle game Machinarium has made its way to Android. In it, a clever little robot named Josef must rescue his robot girlfriend. He faces off against the wicked Black Cap Brotherhood robots and must solve puzzles, quests, brain teasers and mini-games to get rid of them.

The game features hand-drawn background and characters. Comic bubbles and symbols are used to advance the plot and Josef’s quest.

Hothead Games warns that the current version (1.0) of the game is designed for higher resolution devices such as tablets and higher-end smartphones. Future updates will improve playability on smaller resolution screens in the future but no timeline is provided.

Machinarium is available for US$3.99 from the Google Play store.
