As genres go, point-and-click puzzle games are not the coolest right now, but they do have a loyal and fervent following. Take The Tiny Bang Story,a cute and challenging brainteaser that will delight fans of the genre. With no text or onscreen instructions, the game takes place mostly on static screens as you try to solve a series of head-scratchers. Many of them are of the Where's Wallyvariety of finding hidden objects, but it also has its share of inventive puzzles: typical quandaries involve finding the right object, matching it to another, or finding combinations. As always, this recommendation comes with the caveat that many traditional gamers will turn their nose up, but (not for the first time), Colibri has delivered a charming and challenging puzzler.
