About Amanita Design
Amanita Design is a small independent video game development studio based in the Czech Republic. It was established in 2003 when Jakub Dvorský graduated from the Academy of Arts in Prague with a free online flash game called Samorost as his thesis project. In 2005 Václav Blín joined as a studio animator and Samorost2 was created. Since then, we have found several excellent collaborators: musician Tomáš 'Floex' Dvořák, programmers David Oliva and Jan Werner, painter Adolf Lachman, sound maker Tomáš 'Pif' Dvořák and animator Jaromír Plachý. Besides computer games, the studio created also a couple of music videos, websites, animations, illustrations and production design.I've first came across these guys in 2004 when my German friend sent me a link to their Samorost point and clock game. I love style of their games. Something unusual but very enjoyable.

Over the years they seem to have gone from strength to strength and in 2009 released Machinarium. Their first full-length adventure game.
...players take on the role of a robot who has been exiled to the scrap heap. Players must use logic, collect important items, and solve environmental puzzles to get the robot back into the city of Machinarium so he can rescue his robot-girlfriend, save the head of the city, and defeat the bad guys from the Black Cap Brotherhood.
