What Is Samorost 3 App?

Samorost app is a puzzle point-and-click adventure game developed by Amanita Design. It is the third video game title in the series and the sequel to Samorost 2. It is the first game in the series that is full-length and with high-definition graphics. The story takes place across five planets and four moons. Samorost 3 has sold over 300,000 units as of February 2017.

Samorost 3 was developed by a team of about six people. Developers drew artistic inspiration from animated films by Czech directors like Karel Zeman, Jan Švankmajer, Jiří Barta or Břetislav Pojar. Another source of inspiration was filmed by Russian animator Yuriy Norshteyn.

The game consists of 45 screens that were changed many times during development. Another important part of the development was sound recording. These people include Bára Kratochvílová and Miloš Dvořáček. Tomáš Dvořák created other sounds as he used multiple instruments, such as a lollipop used to a strum, to create required sounds. Dvořák also composed the music for the game.

Frequently Asked Questions About The App

Does Samorost 3 use Flash? Will there be a black border around the screen? Will there be any issues with losing saves?

“the game runs in Air. don’t worry about saves, black borders, or anything else. it’s all fixed and the game works great on almost any non-prehistoric computer and on any screen resolution. it’s also more convenient than unity or any other ‘heavy engine’ as it starts instantly and you can easily go to window mode just by pressing Esc and then go again full-screen anytime.”

Can one play Samorost 3 without having played 1 & 2?

“Samorost 3 is a completely independent game so you don’t have to play Samorost 1 or 2 at all. the first two are very old, small games with mediocre game design.”
