This is a charming, soothing, warm and cuddly kind of point and click happiness.

I am about 30 minutes in so it's early days but it brings to mind all the excellent things about things like Machinarium, but in a flora and fauna sort of way. Beautifully drawn, it's a "2D point-and-click adventure about a robot saving her home from a dark crystalline force. Set upon a biopunk space station, you play as Nara, a growbot in training to become a captain. When your station home is attacked by rapidly growing crystals, it's down to you to save it".

I have pushed things and fiddled with things and made some things grow and put a guinea-pig type critter inside the plastic dome that is my head. No spoken word, but lots of elegant sounds, and all sorts of things to collect and use and ponder.

I feel compelled to mention there have been two music note puzzles so far and I expect there are more to come. Nothing to date has been terribly difficult.

Save at will, point and click all the way, it's already an utter delight.
