The game is (beautiful)^19 and the sound effects are great. It is hard to gauge the difficult of point and click games at times, but I found the first few levels to be a good balance between obvious and confusing.
it’s incredible !
i love the colors and the design, though i wish it could have more story, either way, great job in this pieceofart-game

The mac version doesn’t work(I’m on mac os 10.5)
I dragged the folder to my applications folder and booted it from there, but there’s nothing popping up, even though I can see it “running” in the dock.

Also, very neat idea to have an unlock mini-game to get the answers that way if you really couldn’t get past it.
The problem is though, that the mini-game seems impossible to beat.

Absolutely brilliant!
Works great on my Mac (OS X 10.5.8)
@Rubbermuck,
Judging by your second comment, you did manage to get the game running on your Mac, right? As for the walkthrough minigame, have you tried using the arrow keys and the space bar to control the floating key? It makes it a lot easier.
Cheers!

Absolutely great demo! Pre-order is one click away! But i have an issue with the menu on my macbook air. It doesn’t show up when I am at 100% full screen, which is really annoying as I want to save there. It is a small thing, but I want to enjoy the beautiful screens to the fullest!
Pre-ordered too. Amazing beginning, great atmosphere, adorable character (I love tin robots so much ^^). Amanita rocks.

P.S. (for Amanita’s Mac/Flash person)
I’ve noticed there is a slight annoyance in the Mac version of the game: the title bar is displayed in the fullscreen mode (at the top of the screen), showing full path to the game. If one escapes out of fullscreen and goes back to it, the bar dissapears.
I’m not a Flash programmer, but I read somewhere that this has something to do with the Mac Projector’s fscommand acting up strange in some cases, and that the simple way get rid of the title bar on a Mac is to set the fscommand to launch after 1 second. Then publish as Mac Projector.

I nearly screamed at my screen when the demo finished! I’ve been following this game for months, cannot wait for the release. It’s so impressive what can be achieved with Flash these days, truly exceptional work.
A quick question, will the game be available on Steam or is buying off the site my best bet if I want it on release day?
TRos: thanks for advice – I hope we will fixed it in the Full Version.
Blackthorn: it should be on Steam on Oct 16, but I can’t confirm that as the Steam is soo slow that we can’t be sure with them about anything. best bet is our site and also we will have more money if you buy it directly from us;)

I love it! I took a sneak preview into the demo and find it simply outstanding. Will play the demo through later tonight and definetly order the game – creating such fabulous games MUST be supported :)
Well done, Amanita team! The demo is slick, gorgeous (of course) and my wife who has very little experience with games quickly understood the play style. I won’t comment anymore until I play the full game. Pre-ordered.
I’m guessing that the game won’t work with users who still haven’t upgraded to Flash version 10. You should probably include some sort of version check, so that you can direct the user to Adobe’s update website.
I enjoyed it very much. Fix that problem with the fullscreen on the Mac, and to me it seems ready to go!

Kevin
October 2, 2009
Adobe’s Flash Player 10 seems to get downloaded/be integrated with the demo, so I’m fairly certain that you don’t need to upgrade beforehand to that particular version. =o)
A tip for for the Mac version regarding the display of the title bar is to Turn Hiding On of the Dock prior to launching the game. (That worked for me anyway.)

chegr
October 2, 2009
I’ll certainly buy it!
Two things to mention:
1. I’ve noticed a bug with cap and lamp in the second screen. After some actions both lamp and cap were put on, and lamp dissappeared. So when i click something and robot shakes his hand, lamp appears for this animation and then vanishes again.
2. Have you ever played russian Full Pipe? :) It looks very similar to Machinarium and it’s great to me.

And yes, please — can you deisable right click in final release?
I’ve pre-ordered the game a long time ago, and haven’t played the demo, as I want to experience the whole game. I’ve just launched it and I have one comment. The Mac version doesn’t launch in fullscreen mode. The window titlebar is visible at the top of the screen, and I find it really distracting from the amazing graphics. Please, please, please make the game run in fullscreen, with no unnecessary UI elements!
29.
TRoss
October 3, 2009
@Kevin,
Thanks for the Mac tip. Btw, another way to get rid of the fullscreen title bar on a Mac is to run the game from the dock (at least that worked for me).
As I said, it’s a minor annoyance… but I still hope Amanita’s programming wizard will do his magic and fix it with a couple of lines of code in the final version. ;)
hey guys, thanks for all advices and comments – we are listening and try to improve the game as much as possible before the release.

October 3, 2009
When I turn full screen off, I seem to lose the menu bar at the bottom (with the volume, save, quit, etc). I am on a Windows Vista computer. Love the game (even though I’m not very good at it!)
One suggestion though, when you’re hovering items the differentiation between things it can be used on and things it can’t is a little too subtle – making it a little more obvious wouldn’t hurt at all.
I hated those adventure games. I really did. I saw no reason to pick up stupid 2D things just to attach something to something and after half an hour to open some stupid box with stupid letter :) And I tried this one just because of fun screen-shots. And it was… awesome! I ordered game directly after I was done with the demo also. So great. thanks again.

At first, the game ran incredibly slow and I tried to change display settings in vain. But now, it works fine for some reason.
Liked the demo, had to use a walk-trough to realise that I can lover my robot’s head so it can reach things underneath.
Heavily considering buying the game. In fact, it is definitely on my list, next to Operation Flashpoint 2.

Absolutely amazing. Art design is unbelievable, music is moody and fitting, great ambiance and clever puzzles.
Already pre-oredered and have the HD pictures cycled as Wallpapers.
Keep it up, this game is amazing, can’t wait for it to come out.
Very nice! I’m glad I preordered it, can’t wait till the 16th :)

I really like the artistic style of the game. In certain games I feel like I am playing a movie but in this game I feel like I am playing a painting. The music has been dead-on so far and it makes the game very relaxing to play (at least in the demo). I just preordered the game – I hope it will take a long time to complete because I expect that I will miss it when I am done with it.

After getting the demo(s) yesterday, my six year old son has been driving me crazy. He is nuts over the artwork and the little robots are his new best friends. We’ve played the demo enough we can breeze through the 3 levels in record time. I, myself, can’t wait to play beyond and he can’t wait to see what’s next.
Needless to say, our pre-order is in and we can’t wait :)
When I got an email saying that Amanita Design had a new game out I couldn’t download the demo fast enough. I found your site when I was looking up Flash examples for my Multimedia (Flash) class in college. I am a long-time gamer, turning 40 this year, and puzzle games have a soft spot in my heart. I have been a working illustrator, writer, and designer for 23 years now and am very picky about what I like. Everything that Amanita has touched though so far has had me completely enthralled, both sound and visual levels.
I just finished the demo and pre-order the game. I am thoroughly looking forward to playing it in its entirety and was thrilled to receive the soundtrack previews. I bought Samorost 2 and admittedly left the game up in the background as I worked on several writing projects. I love to write and the soundtracks are very soothing as well as inspiring.
I am looking forward to seeing more and will continue to steer people your way. Thank you for offering up all your incredible work!
les escribo en español para que vean que tambien tienen seguidores en latinoamerica!
ustedes hiscieron Machinarium con amor y dedicacion, los graficos son exelentes, la musica es perfecta para el juego, los acertijos son muy entretenidos, y en general es hermoso… hermoso en una manera misteriosa pero atractiva, y su protagonista es lindisimo!!
en este momento voy a pre-ordenarlo! un gran juego!!! buen trabajo!

Downloaded the demo last night: The graphics were amazing. The mini-game for hints was cute and not that difficult. The clues were extremely well thought-out. Overall, the demo whetted my appetite for the full game. Can’t wait until Oct. 16! The only thing was that I was hoping for story or some introduction to our fine robot protagonist. Still, I’m very pleased with the demo and very excited to play the full game.
I enjoyed a lot the demo, and I´m thinking seriously of purchasing the game, but for some reason I cannot play fullscrean on my mac, that´s the only reason why I didn´t preorder. As the previous guy I hope it is fixed :) Great work guys!

“When I turn full screen off, I seem to lose the menu bar at the bottom (with the volume, save, quit, etc). I am on a Windows Vista computer. Love the game (even though I’m not very good at it!)”
I have the same issue. With fullscreen on and zoom 100%, after i turn fullscreen off, i lose the menu bar (and i see the inferior border of the window). I have to exit the program and re-run it, then the zoom appears on 80% and the inferior menu bar is ok again.
Mi screen is 1280×800, winXP.
The game is amazing, but please consider a version for linux too :p

Help guys, the demo on my pc works fine, but on another one it freezes at the main screen, I can sometimes move the cursor but keeps freezing then moving again, if I can manage to start a new game, it is really slow. I can’t see the lower bar, so I can’t try windowed mode.
I even updated flash to version 10, but nothing changed, and I updated the video drivers too.
The pc if powerful enough (it can run Sims 3 without any problem), so it isn’t an hardware problem I think.
Thanks for the help ;)

By the way – aren’t you planning printing some posters and offer them in e-shop beside t-shirts? You can make some previews for some posters variatins, put them there on vote, i’m sure i’m not only person who would appreciate this :)
My brother’s discovered the game some days ago by chance and, since then, I’ve pre-ordered the game and two friends of mine also did ahah ! It’s soooo addictive Oo !
By the way, is there going to be an introduction before the main menu?? Perhaps it’s a surprise :p
hey guys, i already preordered, and i love the demo…. i was only wishing there was a button to quickly put something back in your inventory, like a cancel button. the left mouse button would be awesome.

Demko narobiło mi smaka. Od dłuższego czasu przyglądałem się rozwoju wypadków i muszę przyznać, że nie zawiodłem się. Mam tylko pytanie – tuż po zakończeniu dema pojawia się informacja o 30 dodatkowych scenach, które będą tworzyć pełną wersję. Czy będą one dłuższe od tych zawartych w demie? Bo jeśli nie, to ukończenie całości zajmie około 2-3 godzin. Pozdrawiam!
hey, i paid it. it’s totally worth it i agree. i’d pay as much as for this as a console game. i’m just curious what compelled them to do that.

I prepurchased the game on steam and am quite excited about it. However, I’m having trouble getting it to run in true fullscreen. It was perfect the first time I opened the demo. Then I stopped for a while, exiting fullscreen in the process. Now when I maximize the window I still see the program header on the top of the screen and the windows bar down on the bottom of the screen. What’s the trick to getting it back how it was? It was so much prettier I don’t want to play further until I can get it back.

Lovely, beautiful, and nicely made. A perfect combination for a winner game. And if it is made by a small company, but great team! Worth of much more money than you are asking for.
Adventure is not dead, neither nice ideas and themes.
At a guess I’d say it may have been a Steam Condition – I see it all the time on steam

-Nice run , old notebook cool!
-After install the demo, the start menu “Website” file has no icon assigned..
-When object is moved by mouse I’d expect it’d return to list on right mouse click, rather then get o flash player menu..
I’m having the same problem as a lot of people, in that I can’t make the game return to fullscreen after exiting it or accidentally hitting the Escape key. If you guys could implement a button that would automatically return it to fullscreen, it would fix the only real bug that I’m seeing in this game so far.
Reaaaally considering the pre-order, I love the art style and the music in this game. I’m entering the game design business myself, and this is EXACTLY the kind of game I’d love to make. Let the 2D revival begin!

To everyone with the fullscreen slowdown problem just right click while in game to bring up flash control settings and deselect check box for hardware acceleration. Game window still doesn’t operate in 100% for me though just default 80%. I’m sure that will be fixed in full release.

Thanks Jakub, but the problem with the Screen Size still persists in the V2 Demo. Whats the native resolution of Machinarium? Is it possible to make it playable in Fullscreen on a 1680×1025 Resolution?
I have to admit that, while this one is no biggie, it still bugs me. I want to enjoy the beautiful art all over the screen, instead in a tiny window of course.
Eric,
unfortunately it’s not possible to have the game bigger then 1250×790 which is it’s 100% size. it’s because it would be very slow and blurry if it was stretched to higher resolution. of course you can lower your screen resolution, however I understand it’s not very clean solution:)

Also, I’d like to reiterate my problem that on Windows it’s hard to see the main menu when you go from full screen to not full screen (as everyone has been saying).
I’m downloading the full version already and I’ve just finished downloading the soundtrack… I won’t listen to it until I finish the game to save the magic ;) ! Un tout grand merci de Belgique !

Congratulations on a marvelous achievement! I hope that the support from all of us makes you want to make plenty more games!
Demo was cool, but you aked for more than just my email address to buy it. No sale, sorry. I’m waaay too lazy to enter all that information. I want one-click purchase.
And of course I realize the self-contradiction of my being too lazy to enter all my persoanl information, yet don’t mind taking the time to complain about it here. Them’s the breaks.

The game appears at first to a great game! However, the Tavern Puzzle is just to hard for a standard user! I feel as though I bought a very short game! I have heard a child has beat it in 10 minutes ( Maybe children of the blue corn ) , so they should have sold to just children or very very smart people only! I have never beat a computer at it’s own game! I feel like I have to apologize to game makers for being to stupid to live! There’s no help for this puzzle, yes there is video but is doesn’t work. Thanks for taking my money with the intentions of making people stubble at this point and closet the game! Save’s on tech support cost. They have your money and you will never see the end! Laugh all the way to the bank! Never again! Ike
eco: Make sure your hardware acceleration in Flash Player is disabled.
1. Right click on the screen (or ctrl click on Mac).
2. Choose settings.
3. Click on the icon in bottom left corner.
4. Make sure the hardware acceleration box is unchecked.
also you can try to run the game in window mode (fullscreen off).
I’ve downloaded the Mac demo, and it come up, the menu at the bottom works, but nothing else.
Is there some sort of trick to get this to run?

It launches, does the logo, then says machinarium demo in the lower left corner.
The popup menu’s at the bottom work, and after that there are 2 pop-down icons in the upper right. These do nothing.
At this point, I have a black screen, except for the machinarium demo words.

When I attempt to play in Ubuntu 9.10 in fullscreen everything works until I need to manipulate inventory items. The mouse control becomes very sluggish and the item ends up flying all over the place. When I take it out of fullscreen it works fine. I am using Compiz Fusion but when I switch to Metacity it still happens, but not as bad. It’s still very difficult to point the item where it needs to go and click. Is this something you’ve come across before? If so any suggestions? I can play in not full screen with the window maxed out as a workaround but the fullscreen experience is much better.
Thanks, keep up the good work, this game is amazing by the way!
Please bring it to PSN, ill buy it when is release :)

October 2, 2009The mac version doesn’t work(I’m on mac os 10.5)
I dragged the folder to my applications folder and booted it from there, but there’s nothing popping up, even though I can see it “running” in the dock.
9. rubbermuck
October 2, 2009Also, very neat idea to have an unlock mini-game to get the answers that way if you really couldn’t get past it.
The problem is though, that the mini-game seems impossible to beat.
10. MrChaz
October 2, 2009Played and bought. What a beautiful game, didn’t seem too hard to me but ymmv I guess.
11. Teo
October 2, 2009Very nice! I look forward to play Machinarium in October.
(Mac version does work on 10.6, Flash version 10)
12. TRoss
October 2, 2009Absolutely brilliant!
Works great on my Mac (OS X 10.5.8)
@Rubbermuck,
Judging by your second comment, you did manage to get the game running on your Mac, right? As for the walkthrough minigame, have you tried using the arrow keys and the space bar to control the floating key? It makes it a lot easier.
Cheers!
13. sjoerd
October 2, 2009Absolutely great demo! Pre-order is one click away! But i have an issue with the menu on my macbook air. It doesn’t show up when I am at 100% full screen, which is really annoying as I want to save there. It is a small thing, but I want to enjoy the beautiful screens to the fullest!
Anyone else has this problem?
14. Sachka
October 2, 2009Pre-ordered too. Amazing beginning, great atmosphere, adorable character (I love tin robots so much ^^). Amanita rocks.
15. TRoss
October 2, 2009P.S. (for Amanita’s Mac/Flash person)
I’ve noticed there is a slight annoyance in the Mac version of the game: the title bar is displayed in the fullscreen mode (at the top of the screen), showing full path to the game. If one escapes out of fullscreen and goes back to it, the bar dissapears.
I’m not a Flash programmer, but I read somewhere that this has something to do with the Mac Projector’s fscommand acting up strange in some cases, and that the simple way get rid of the title bar on a Mac is to set the fscommand to launch after 1 second. Then publish as Mac Projector.
16. Blackthorn
October 2, 2009I nearly screamed at my screen when the demo finished! I’ve been following this game for months, cannot wait for the release. It’s so impressive what can be achieved with Flash these days, truly exceptional work.
A quick question, will the game be available on Steam or is buying off the site my best bet if I want it on release day?
17. Murray groat
October 2, 2009Please let me know when/how I can buy this. It looks amazing. I loved your earlier work.
Take care,
Muz :-)
18. Jakub Dvorsky
October 2, 2009TRos: thanks for advice – I hope we will fixed it in the Full Version.
Blackthorn: it should be on Steam on Oct 16, but I can’t confirm that as the Steam is soo slow that we can’t be sure with them about anything. best bet is our site and also we will have more money if you buy it directly from us;)
19. Takeshi Vokuhila
October 2, 2009I love it! I took a sneak preview into the demo and find it simply outstanding. Will play the demo through later tonight and definetly order the game – creating such fabulous games MUST be supported :)
20. Chris Lepine
October 2, 2009Well done, Amanita team! The demo is slick, gorgeous (of course) and my wife who has very little experience with games quickly understood the play style. I won’t comment anymore until I play the full game. Pre-ordered.
Expect a review on ArtfulGamer.com whenever it’s released!
21. UltraNeko
October 2, 2009Pre ordered this even before I played the demo… Loved it! Adorable, and the music is simply captivating! Definitely a breath of fresh air. <3
22. Matteo S.
October 2, 2009Are you going to make a Linux version? It would be great.
23. Blackthorn
October 2, 2009Jakub: If you make more of a profit, I’ll definitely buy directly from you. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be preordering as soon as I can.
24. Andre Reis
October 2, 2009I’m guessing that the game won’t work with users who still haven’t upgraded to Flash version 10. You should probably include some sort of version check, so that you can direct the user to Adobe’s update website.
I enjoyed it very much. Fix that problem with the fullscreen on the Mac, and to me it seems ready to go!
25. Kevin
October 2, 2009Adobe’s Flash Player 10 seems to get downloaded/be integrated with the demo, so I’m fairly certain that you don’t need to upgrade beforehand to that particular version. =o)
A tip for for the Mac version regarding the display of the title bar is to Turn Hiding On of the Dock prior to launching the game. (That worked for me anyway.)
26. chegr
October 2, 2009I’ll certainly buy it!
Two things to mention:
1. I’ve noticed a bug with cap and lamp in the second screen. After some actions both lamp and cap were put on, and lamp dissappeared. So when i click something and robot shakes his hand, lamp appears for this animation and then vanishes again.
2. Have you ever played russian Full Pipe? :) It looks very similar to Machinarium and it’s great to me.
27. chegr
October 2, 2009And yes, please — can you deisable right click in final release?
28. kojder
October 3, 2009I’ve pre-ordered the game a long time ago, and haven’t played the demo, as I want to experience the whole game. I’ve just launched it and I have one comment. The Mac version doesn’t launch in fullscreen mode. The window titlebar is visible at the top of the screen, and I find it really distracting from the amazing graphics. Please, please, please make the game run in fullscreen, with no unnecessary UI elements!
29. TRoss
October 3, 2009@Kevin,
Thanks for the Mac tip. Btw, another way to get rid of the fullscreen title bar on a Mac is to run the game from the dock (at least that worked for me).
As I said, it’s a minor annoyance… but I still hope Amanita’s programming wizard will do his magic and fix it with a couple of lines of code in the final version. ;)
30. Dan
October 3, 2009Enjoyed the demo
31. Jakub Dvorsky
October 3, 2009hey guys, thanks for all advices and comments – we are listening and try to improve the game as much as possible before the release.
32. ps
October 3, 2009When I turn full screen off, I seem to lose the menu bar at the bottom (with the volume, save, quit, etc). I am on a Windows Vista computer. Love the game (even though I’m not very good at it!)
33. Ramireo
October 3, 2009Simply amazing.
It’s beautiful in so many levels
Already bought it =)
34. TRoss
October 3, 2009@kojder,
Re Mac fullscreen title bar issue, it has been discussed already. Take a look at my comments, Kevin’s comment and Jakub’s comment.
Cheers!
35. Daniel
October 3, 2009Just finished the demo, and I loved it. Pre-ordered (from the site here ;)), and now I’m just waiting for the game to release =D
36. mathijs
October 3, 2009I waited a full year for this game to be released. Love the demo and waiting for the whole game!!!
37. Robert O'Riordan
October 3, 2009That was great, can’t wait for the final product!
38. mac
October 3, 2009Pre-ordered and can’t wait for the full version ;). I like old school point&click games like this one ;)
39. Ruegen
October 3, 2009Excellent! Can’t wait! Thanks for making a Mac version!

October 4, 2009Incredible work, I can’t wait to play the whole game. Don’t change a thing!
42. baize
October 4, 2009great demo. can’t wait for the release. it looks like another gem. thanks
43. Rogi
October 4, 2009Incredible! Pre-ordered it the same minute I was done with the demo.
44. Skeeter
October 4, 2009Just finished the PC demo. Loved it. Also got it for my Macbook and love the fact you are supporting the Mac. I’ll be pre-ordering this for sure!
45. Skeeter
October 4, 2009Just to follow up….
I also grabbed the Mac demo and it runs flawlessly on my MacBook. Running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and Flash 10.
46. Alex
October 4, 2009Hi guys;
Really enjoyed the demo, amazing piece of work.
One suggestion though, when you’re hovering items the differentiation between things it can be used on and things it can’t is a little too subtle – making it a little more obvious wouldn’t hurt at all.
47. Andraika
October 4, 2009I hated those adventure games. I really did. I saw no reason to pick up stupid 2D things just to attach something to something and after half an hour to open some stupid box with stupid letter :) And I tried this one just because of fun screen-shots. And it was… awesome! I ordered game directly after I was done with the demo also. So great. thanks again.
48. AlexB
October 4, 2009Re: Tom’s claim of Amanita Design having “stolen” his “idea”… Nice try but no.
49. Kim
October 5, 2009It’s great. I’ve already pre-ordered the full version. One niggle though: it’s really frustrating only being able to interact with what’s within reach. I don’t get why you’ve chosen to make it this way.
50. sonobeno
October 5, 2009love it! great style and puzzles! looking forward to full version!
51. Zixinus
October 5, 2009At first, the game ran incredibly slow and I tried to change display settings in vain. But now, it works fine for some reason.
Liked the demo, had to use a walk-trough to realise that I can lover my robot’s head so it can reach things underneath.
Heavily considering buying the game. In fact, it is definitely on my list, next to Operation Flashpoint 2.
52. TeaTime
October 5, 2009I played the game a bit at PAX, and also downloaded the demo.
Absolutely amazing. Art design is unbelievable, music is moody and fitting, great ambiance and clever puzzles.
Already pre-oredered and have the HD pictures cycled as Wallpapers.
Keep it up, this game is amazing, can’t wait for it to come out.
53. Frank
October 5, 2009Very nice! I’m glad I preordered it, can’t wait till the 16th :)
54. Asger
October 5, 2009I really like the artistic style of the game. In certain games I feel like I am playing a movie but in this game I feel like I am playing a painting. The music has been dead-on so far and it makes the game very relaxing to play (at least in the demo). I just preordered the game – I hope it will take a long time to complete because I expect that I will miss it when I am done with it.
55. Skeeter
October 5, 2009After getting the demo(s) yesterday, my six year old son has been driving me crazy. He is nuts over the artwork and the little robots are his new best friends. We’ve played the demo enough we can breeze through the 3 levels in record time. I, myself, can’t wait to play beyond and he can’t wait to see what’s next.
Needless to say, our pre-order is in and we can’t wait :)
56. Ana Maria Seaton
October 5, 2009When I got an email saying that Amanita Design had a new game out I couldn’t download the demo fast enough. I found your site when I was looking up Flash examples for my Multimedia (Flash) class in college. I am a long-time gamer, turning 40 this year, and puzzle games have a soft spot in my heart. I have been a working illustrator, writer, and designer for 23 years now and am very picky about what I like. Everything that Amanita has touched though so far has had me completely enthralled, both sound and visual levels.
I just finished the demo and pre-order the game. I am thoroughly looking forward to playing it in its entirety and was thrilled to receive the soundtrack previews. I bought Samorost 2 and admittedly left the game up in the background as I worked on several writing projects. I love to write and the soundtracks are very soothing as well as inspiring.
I am looking forward to seeing more and will continue to steer people your way. Thank you for offering up all your incredible work!
Ria :)

Saludos desde Honduras .(Centro America)
58. staberas
October 6, 2009i liked the demo i preorder it right away on steam, i have a 22″ wide monitor but the game i think was/looked too “small” for my monitor ?. i hope that was only the demo problem.
59. bmrpeal
October 6, 2009Absolutely AMAZING! The demo for mac runs smoothly and is simply beautiful! With Braid, my two favourite puzzle games! This is Flash made? Simply rocks, make more like this!!!
60. shane
October 6, 2009loved the demo – art/music/gameplay amazing! NEED FULL GAME! :)
61. Tom King
October 6, 2009Hey guys! Well what can I say that hasn’t already been said? Oh, I know: http://thought-13.blogspot.com/2009/10/machinarium.html
Just a few thoughts, and after the release of the game, I’ll have a review as well.
In a word: brilliant. Each and every one of you (up to and including the baby-licking dog) have my whole-hearted support and best wishes for this and future endeavors.
Cheers!
62. Isabel
October 6, 2009Downloaded the demo last night: The graphics were amazing. The mini-game for hints was cute and not that difficult. The clues were extremely well thought-out. Overall, the demo whetted my appetite for the full game. Can’t wait until Oct. 16! The only thing was that I was hoping for story or some introduction to our fine robot protagonist. Still, I’m very pleased with the demo and very excited to play the full game.
63. Rob V.
October 6, 2009Fantastic game, beautifully rendered, and ORIGINAL! (So rare today.) I definitely will be buying this game.
64. Fran
October 6, 2009I enjoyed a lot the demo, and I´m thinking seriously of purchasing the game, but for some reason I cannot play fullscrean on my mac, that´s the only reason why I didn´t preorder. As the previous guy I hope it is fixed :) Great work guys!
65. Caronte
October 6, 2009“When I turn full screen off, I seem to lose the menu bar at the bottom (with the volume, save, quit, etc). I am on a Windows Vista computer. Love the game (even though I’m not very good at it!)”
I have the same issue. With fullscreen on and zoom 100%, after i turn fullscreen off, i lose the menu bar (and i see the inferior border of the window). I have to exit the program and re-run it, then the zoom appears on 80% and the inferior menu bar is ok again.
Mi screen is 1280×800, winXP.
The game is amazing, but please consider a version for linux too :p
66. Alex
October 6, 2009Help guys, the demo on my pc works fine, but on another one it freezes at the main screen, I can sometimes move the cursor but keeps freezing then moving again, if I can manage to start a new game, it is really slow. I can’t see the lower bar, so I can’t try windowed mode.
I even updated flash to version 10, but nothing changed, and I updated the video drivers too.
The pc if powerful enough (it can run Sims 3 without any problem), so it isn’t an hardware problem I think.
Thanks for the help ;)
67. bd_
October 6, 2009Do the pre-order bonuses apply to Steam preorders as well?
68. Ian E
October 6, 2009Well finally got money into my paypal and Pre-ordered I won’t try the Demo as I don’t want to spoil the full game – I think Amanita Design and Tomas Dvorak is a winning combination and I wish you guys the best of fortune on game release.
Can’t wait :)
69. @Lex
October 7, 2009Hi guys!
The game is simply amazing!!!
Liked it a LOT!
I’ve already preordered it and can’t wait until it’s finally out!
70. Slava
October 7, 2009Alex – try disabling Flash hardware acceleration (in-game right click, settings, first tab, uncheck the hw acceleration checkbox).
71. Diego
October 7, 2009The game is fucking amazing! Amanita rules!
72. Vitalijs
October 7, 2009This demo is awesome! And I am waiting for completed game! :))) Can’t wait!
73. Ondrej T.
October 7, 2009Hello Amanita team,
wonderfull work as usual :) I can’t wait until evening so i will get home from my work and play Machinarium demo!
By the way – aren’t you planning printing some posters and offer them in e-shop beside t-shirts? You can make some previews for some posters variatins, put them there on vote, i’m sure i’m not only person who would appreciate this :)
Anyway, good job and greeting to whole team!

you might want to take a look there if it’s not too late – it’s my only gripe with the demo!
75. Zsilu
October 7, 2009Greetings from Belgium !
My brother’s discovered the game some days ago by chance and, since then, I’ve pre-ordered the game and two friends of mine also did ahah ! It’s soooo addictive Oo !
By the way, is there going to be an introduction before the main menu?? Perhaps it’s a surprise :p
76. youcancontactme
October 7, 2009hey guys, i already preordered, and i love the demo…. i was only wishing there was a button to quickly put something back in your inventory, like a cancel button. the left mouse button would be awesome.
77. Photure
October 7, 2009The Czech people are simply the best animators on this planet…!
78. Hello
October 7, 2009Hello!. I like the game. Is a little different from what i´m used to, but nevertheless original and fun. Keep up!!
79. stickboybob
October 7, 2009why is the preorder like $3 less expensive on steam?
80. Chris
October 8, 2009Brilliant! I’m really looking forward to this release. Nice simple game, but great interface and atmosphere. :) Takes me back to the adventure games of old.
81. Ulyan K
October 8, 2009Hi Amanita !!!
Jacob check your email..
82. Ian E
October 8, 2009Does it matter 15 17 or 20 it’s well worth it – I’ll be getting the CD version as well when it’s released.
83. jiker
October 8, 2009Demko narobiło mi smaka. Od dłuższego czasu przyglądałem się rozwoju wypadków i muszę przyznać, że nie zawiodłem się. Mam tylko pytanie – tuż po zakończeniu dema pojawia się informacja o 30 dodatkowych scenach, które będą tworzyć pełną wersję. Czy będą one dłuższe od tych zawartych w demie? Bo jeśli nie, to ukończenie całości zajmie około 2-3 godzin. Pozdrawiam!
84. stickboybob
October 8, 2009hey, i paid it. it’s totally worth it i agree. i’d pay as much as for this as a console game. i’m just curious what compelled them to do that.
85. machikunas
October 8, 2009I prepurchased the game on steam and am quite excited about it. However, I’m having trouble getting it to run in true fullscreen. It was perfect the first time I opened the demo. Then I stopped for a while, exiting fullscreen in the process. Now when I maximize the window I still see the program header on the top of the screen and the windows bar down on the bottom of the screen. What’s the trick to getting it back how it was? It was so much prettier I don’t want to play further until I can get it back.
86. chiko
October 8, 2009awesome. waiting for full release
-it took me a while to figure out that you could shoot in the hint minigame,not sure if thats just me or it needs to be spelled out with an icon or something.
everything else sweet as.
87. Ilya Sabanin
October 8, 2009This game is absolutely incredible. Haven’t seen a game like this for a long time.
88. gergonzalez
October 9, 2009Totally awesome.
Great work guys…
89. MIguel Angel Quiñones
October 9, 2009Lovely, beautiful, and nicely made. A perfect combination for a winner game. And if it is made by a small company, but great team! Worth of much more money than you are asking for.
Adventure is not dead, neither nice ideas and themes.
Regards!
90. Ian E
October 9, 2009At a guess I’d say it may have been a Steam Condition – I see it all the time on steam
91. R
October 9, 2009XP Pro SP3..
-Nice run , old notebook cool!
-After install the demo, the start menu “Website” file has no icon assigned..
-When object is moved by mouse I’d expect it’d return to list on right mouse click, rather then get o flash player menu..
:R
92. Ian Cheney
October 10, 2009I’m having the same problem as a lot of people, in that I can’t make the game return to fullscreen after exiting it or accidentally hitting the Escape key. If you guys could implement a button that would automatically return it to fullscreen, it would fix the only real bug that I’m seeing in this game so far.
Reaaaally considering the pre-order, I love the art style and the music in this game. I’m entering the game design business myself, and this is EXACTLY the kind of game I’d love to make. Let the 2D revival begin!
93. Blue Cloud
October 10, 2009To everyone with the fullscreen slowdown problem just right click while in game to bring up flash control settings and deselect check box for hardware acceleration. Game window still doesn’t operate in 100% for me though just default 80%. I’m sure that will be fixed in full release.
94. userface
October 10, 2009loved the demo it has such a great atmosphere and attention to detail cant wait till the release!
95. Jakub Dvorsky
October 11, 2009to Ian Cheney and yhose who escaped full screen mode and now can’t return to it, because the menu is out of sight: we know about that problem and we’ll fix it. updated demo should be out soon. we have also fixed a couple of other bugs.
96. stickboybob
October 11, 2009hooray! only a couple of days til release.
97. lurching
October 12, 2009way stoked for the full version! demo was fantastic.

Greetings from Brazil :D
99. My
October 12, 2009Finally!! I love this game. And everything about it! I couldn’t stop playing Samorost 2.
The 16:th can’t come soon enough!
i was only wishing there was a button to quickly put something back in your inventory, like a cancel button. the left mouse button would be awesome!
thanks alot! keep up the good work.
100. Eric
October 12, 2009Great Game, can´t wait until i get my preordered Full Version! Is there a way to play this Game Fullscreen in 1680×1050 Resolution?
Cheers

Mange hilsner fra Danmark .
102. Bob
October 13, 2009Hi, If I preorder this will I have to jump through any DRM hoops? My games PC is not connected to the Internet and so I would like to be able to downlaod a purchased copy of the game, copy it to the off-line computer, install it and play, just like the demo?
Thanks
103. Hannibal
October 13, 2009I can hardly await the game :) Glad i preordered it :)
104. EndBoss
October 13, 2009Pre-ordered the game in August and I’ve seen the trailer over and over. The demo rocks big time and I’m totally in love with the graphics and sounds. It’s already a cult-game.
thnks.
105. Juan
October 13, 2009I just played the demo and inmediatley afterwards I pre-ordered the game!!!. Awesome game!!!! Awesome music!!! The graphics/draws look fantastic!!!! Really good work, I can’t hardly wait three more days. Congratulations for such a good job, keep it up. Regards from Spain.
Thank you for such a good game
106. Ian E
October 13, 2009No it’s DRM Free – Read http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,289.0.html

108. 3t3P
October 13, 2009I thought the demo was great, good animation, reminds me of the neverhood chronicles but more intelligent!
Pre ordered and can’t wait to play in three days!
109. Jakub Dvorsky
October 13, 2009the demo was updated – all of you who had some troubles with it, please try to download and install the new one (use the links above).
110. Eric
October 13, 2009Thanks Jakub, but the problem with the Screen Size still persists in the V2 Demo. Whats the native resolution of Machinarium? Is it possible to make it playable in Fullscreen on a 1680×1025 Resolution?
I have to admit that, while this one is no biggie, it still bugs me. I want to enjoy the beautiful art all over the screen, instead in a tiny window of course.
111. Eric
October 13, 2009Sorry, 1680×1050 of course.
112. Jakub Dvorsky
October 13, 2009Eric,
unfortunately it’s not possible to have the game bigger then 1250×790 which is it’s 100% size. it’s because it would be very slow and blurry if it was stretched to higher resolution. of course you can lower your screen resolution, however I understand it’s not very clean solution:)
113. Alexandre
October 13, 2009Hello !
I was just wondering if the game’s gonna be sold on the Steam.
Thank you very much.
Alexandre
114. Eric
October 13, 2009Jakub,
Thanks for your answer. Well, thats bad luck for me then. Guess i´ll try to set the resolution down a bit.
115. Dang Pham

October 15, 2009loved the demo, proper old school point and click puzzling backed up by beatiful artwork and some fantastic music, sadly im going to miss out on the pre-order mp3s as i dont get paid till tomorrow :( but all the same i cant wait to get hold of it
123. ps
October 15, 2009Thanks for the tip from a commenter way up above that you can shoot in the minigame! I had no idea. I just figured there would be no walkthrough for me! Also, I’d like to reiterate my problem that on Windows it’s hard to see the main menu when you go from full screen to not full screen (as everyone has been saying).
124. Trekis
October 15, 2009what time on Friday will it be available?
125. Kernit the Font

October 17, 2009After reading the review in the latest issue of Games TM, I decided to play the demo. I was very impressed by the look, feel and sounds of the game. So impressed, that I bought the game. Congratulations on a marvelous achievement! I hope that the support from all of us makes you want to make plenty more games!

October 17, 2009Demo was cool, but you aked for more than just my email address to buy it. No sale, sorry. I’m waaay too lazy to enter all that information. I want one-click purchase.

October 18, 2009Well,i found a problem when play Machinarium. When the hero has been trapped into the cage, there is a mouse staying in the hole of the room beside him, but i really don’t know why you set this mouse staying here since i don’t need it at all…! The mouse seems not prevent the clue going.
By the way,it is really a novel and fantastic game!

October 23, 2009It is a very nice game. I like it very much!
However, it can not full screen when this game run in 1280*768.

October 25, 2009When I stumbled across Machinarium I was completely and utterly enchanted. Kudos to your team. What a wonderful time had with the demo, next I’ll have to make time to explore the full game. thanks again.

November 2, 2009The game appears at first to a great game! However, the Tavern Puzzle is just to hard for a standard user! I feel as though I bought a very short game! I have heard a child has beat it in 10 minutes ( Maybe children of the blue corn ) , so they should have sold to just children or very very smart people only! I have never beat a computer at it’s own game! I feel like I have to apologize to game makers for being to stupid to live! There’s no help for this puzzle, yes there is video but is doesn’t work. Thanks for taking my money with the intentions of making people stubble at this point and closet the game! Save’s on tech support cost. They have your money and you will never see the end! Laugh all the way to the bank! Never again! Ike

November 6, 2009Hi, I’m insterested in buying the game, it looks nice, but I have a question… does it work on a Linux 64bits S.O.? ’cause I don’t use 32 S.O.’s
144. Jakub Dvorsky
November 7, 2009SGAN: please download and try Linux demo first (http://machinarium.net/download/Machinarium-Demo-EN7.tar.gz) if it works fine then you can buy the full version.

December 9, 2009Dear Author machinarium.net !
What is it to you to a head has come?

December 14, 2009Anyone got issues with the full game for Windows running incredibly slowly? Any tips on how to get it running as per the demo speed?
147. Jakub Dvorsky
December 14, 2009eco: Make sure your hardware acceleration in Flash Player is disabled.
1. Right click on the screen (or ctrl click on Mac).
2. Choose settings.
3. Click on the icon in bottom left corner.
4. Make sure the hardware acceleration box is unchecked.
also you can try to run the game in window mode (fullscreen off).

December 28, 2009I’ve downloaded the Mac demo, and it come up, the menu at the bottom works, but nothing else.
Is there some sort of trick to get this to run?
OS X 10.5.8, 1.5Ghz, 1 GB Ram…
150. Raybo
December 30, 2009Again, I’d really like to play the demo, can anyone tell me how to get it to work?
It launches, does the logo, then says machinarium demo in the lower left corner.
The popup menu’s at the bottom work, and after that there are 2 pop-down icons in the upper right. These do nothing.
At this point, I have a black screen, except for the machinarium demo words.
OS X 10.5.8, PPC 1.5Ghz, 1GB Ram, Flash 10.0.32.18 (note: hardware acceleration won’t stay off)

January 6, 2010When I attempt to play in Ubuntu 9.10 in fullscreen everything works until I need to manipulate inventory items. The mouse control becomes very sluggish and the item ends up flying all over the place. When I take it out of fullscreen it works fine. I am using Compiz Fusion but when I switch to Metacity it still happens, but not as bad. It’s still very difficult to point the item where it needs to go and click. Is this something you’ve come across before? If so any suggestions? I can play in not full screen with the window maxed out as a workaround but the fullscreen experience is much better.
Thanks, keep up the good work, this game is amazing by the way!
