Stacking is pretty charming

[nihilence]

It's a silly little game from Double Fine. The humor is there, sometimes confusing requi9(but with hints!) and great style.

But messing around with it when I have a little time during kiddo naps.

The story of there to support the unique gameplay gimmick.

 

[Slayven]

I thought this was about the gaming play mechanic of applying multiple status affects on foes

 

[Z-Beat]

I thought this thread was about cup stacking

 

[Cocolina]

thought this was going to be about stone stacking

 

[EJS]

Thought this was about last in first out.

Why did I think this thread was gonna be about WoFF.

 

[KORNdog]

I was never a big fan of this. I think I played it on the 360 at some point... Tbh post psychonauts I wasn't a big fan of any of their output really. They all just missed the mark for me. They weren't awful or anything. Just...mediocre. or not what I was expecting (fuck brutal legend)

I'm glad they've finally making a psychonauts sequel though. But once that's out I think I'll likely go back to not caring much until psychonauts 3. Lol

 

[Good4Squat]

I remember really liking it too, really great and unique idea for a video game. Double Fine did some pretty neat things back then with their small games.

 

[Breather-Resistance]

I guess I'm the only one who was able to recognize the game you were describing.

In any case, it's one of the few Double Fine games I haven't experienced yet and was glad that i'll now be able to after it was added to Gold.

Absolutely loved this game. Tbh, I dont remember details about a lot of games that I play. But this game has always stuck with me. Agreed, very charming.

In contrast to the post above, it is the only double fine game I have played I think

 

[digreyfox]

It was very good and one of my favourite "games for XBL" back in the 360 era.

 

[ray_caster]

I never got around to playing it more than 10-20 minutes, but even from that limited time it was apparent that the game oozed charm.

 

[roly82]

I'm still waiting for a sale of the DLC.

 

[Yeef]

I played through it back when it first came out. The art direction is 100% charming.

I guess I'm the only one who entered this thread expecting the right thing by the sounds of most of the replies haha. I thought it was fun for like an hour, but I wasn't too enthralled by the end.

 

[nihilence]

I wasn't looking for anything too deep. Something just to pass a little time.

Next up is a zeppelin, OH boy.

 

[Blackthorn]

It's Hitman, for kids!

I was literally about to post the same thing, haha.

Probably my favorite of Double Fine's smaller games post Brutal Legend.

My only complaint was that on Xbox 360, the game didn't run great, and with the stop-motion animation and the heavy vignetting on the edges of the screen it would give me a bit of a headache after a while.

Thankfully the PC version performed better and I think it had options to turn off the vignetting.

 

[Spawnsniper]

It was a really good little game. I finished it in one sitting.

 

[Dragon Puncher]

I thought this would be about the Double Fine game. And I was right!

 

[EvilBoris]

One of my favourite games of 360 era

 

[PaulloDEC]

Such a typically Double Fine game; clever, charming, creative. Really ought to revisit it someday.

 

[grady]

Got it when it was on PS Plus years ago. Such a fun little game and I remember it fondly to this day. Lots of little things to do in the small open worlds and such a great art style.

 

[SecondNature]

One of my favourite forgotten PS3 era gems

 

[eXistor]

Love that game. I even bought the matryoshka dolls and still have them in my living room:

 

[EmmaDansTonU]

My favorite double fine game.

 

[StraySheep]

Super underated game! Loved the silent film presentation.

Mine would be from the same era: Trenched

 

[Pyccko]

My favorite DF game by far, everything about its presentation hits me just right for some reason.

Still extremely gutted I didn't get those back when they were for sale.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Loved this game and Costume Quest 1/2 also. Really great era for Double Fine games. My family even played the heck out of Happy Action Theater/Kinect Party.

 

[PlatypusDude]

Greatly enjoyed it back when I played it. Super charming little puzzle game and one of DoubleFine's best.

Yes it was good too

 

[Zaber]

The lasl good Double Fine game. It was charming, no doubt about it.

 

[Muitnorts]

It's the game that made me sub to PS+ because it was free day one if I remember right.
I liked it but never got around to finishing it.

 

[CannonFodder52]

I recall really liking it. Gotta do a revisit someday soon.

 

[Corrupt]

Yep, loved it when it came out, double-dipped on Steam a while ago and keep meaning to play it again.

 

[crazillo]

I remember this game and should play it again. This and ilomilo were two of my favorite underrated Xbox Live Arcade Games. Basically I love all of Double Fine. So good they are making back catalogue games available on Xbox, too. Just played Days of the Tentacle yesterday even if it's from the Lucas Arts days. Still hoping for The Cave. Can't wait for Psychonauts 2.
