Botanicula is a Point-and-Click Game by the developers of Machinarium, Amanita Design. It is the first of their games not designed by founder Jakub Dvorský but by the animator newcomer Jaromír Plachý, something that is evidenced by the amount of animation in its every frame. The story follows a Five-Man Band of forest creatures who embark on a quest. Along the way, they have to evade multiple adversaries, notably the Zlo, spider-like monsters that suck the life out of anything they touch.The game is done in a similar whimsical style to Machinarium, although it can turn surprisingly dark at times. It won the Excellence in Audio award at IGF 2012 for its energetic soundtrack by the Czech band DVA. Additionally, a new Humble Indie Bundle was created for its debut, which gave part of its proceeds to the World Land Trust. | |

Heart Is an Awesome Power | |
| Botanicula (Video Game) / int_3496b29a | comment |
Heart Is an Awesome Power: Mr. Lantern's special ability—being able to glow because he's bearing the Seeds of Light—doesn't help the party overcome the puzzles as well as the skills of the other party members. However, the Light of the Seeds turns out to be anathema to the Zlo, which prevents Mr. Lantern from being drained like his four friends at the beginning of the last level, and ultimately leads to the Zlo's defeat. | |

The Everyman | |
| Botanicula (Video Game) / int_6de438eb | comment |
The Everyman: All of the party members seem like this, what with their fear of the Zlo and the desire to take their minds off of their quest at certain junctures in the story, but Mr. Lantern especially gives off this vibe, particularly in light of how his special skill isn't really useful compared to his friends'. The game makes his Character Development a part of its mechanic in the final level—when the player gains the courage and wits to delve deeper into the Dark World after watching all of the other party members get drained, so will Mr. Lantern, and in so doing he becomes the hero of prophecy. | |

Big Bad: The Zlo are the most recurring enemies of the game, but The Mother Zlo that appears near the end of chapter 4 is a far larger threat, and the actual source of all evil is the Zlo Hive in the final chapter. | |

Spiritual Antithesis: Acts as this to Machinarium. While it keeps much of the tone, the vibrant, organic world of Botanicula is a far cry from the broken-down robot dystopia of its predecessor. | |
