A downloadable adventure puzzle game by Double Fine, set in a 1930s environment, where players control the world's smallest Matryoshka doll.
So, based on the quick look...
So I'm sitting here watching the quick look thinking, this game is amazing. It's got a fresh new concept for the puzzle mechanics, the ability to get all solutions for the challenges on a single playthrough and best of all (imo), a nice ye olde art style. Anyone else convinced yet? What do you like about it, or what's putting you off?
As an unabashed fanboy, I'm convinced the second I see "Double Fine Presents" :)Anyone else convinced yet?
I was concerned at first, but after getting through that Quick Look I can't wait.
All those abilities look like they're fun to mess around with, and I appreciate that there are multiple ways to get something accomplished.
Leave it up to Double Fine to make some unique games with good personality.
Hell yeah I'm convinced!
But it should of had a better name than 'Stacking' seriously sounds like a bad browser based puzzle game.
Could of called it 'Matryoshka', that'd been awesome.
Yep, I definitely liked it. I think I have found one of the first downloadable games I will be purchasing in 2011.
Its a downloadable game and audio takes up way more space than anything else. Case in point" ...I dunno the lack of voice really puts off and the music was well ok but sunny, more sound would have been good "

I'm hoping this time, the game will actually sell worth a damn, it's a shame Double Fine's game doesn't sell
I think that the Russian-Nesting Doll market is just way too oversaturated at the moment. I was gonna wait until something truly unique came around.
Sold. Reminded me a hell of a lot of Hitman: Blood Money, weirdly, and that's a huge compliment by the way, it really reminded me of all the amazing things I love about the Hitman series (Blood Money, in particular), the whole idea of being in a populated environment and needing to make use of your surroundings to get into some locked room or find some heavily-guarded item or something like that, thinking your way around problems, using the environment and people around you to your advantage, so many wildly different ways to go about solving each puzzle, having different outfits grant you access to different areas, the game looked really really interesting.
I really adore that style of game design, seen mostly in the stealth genre, where the game basically says "Ok, you're here, the objective is there, do whatever you need to do to get to it. Let's see what you can do!" and then just lets you loose in the world to figure it all out for yourself. I find that it allows for so much more immersion than having to go through a linear level along a set path having your damn hand held the whole way. So, any game that features anything resembling that style of gameplay is already very interesting to me, and the way that Double Fine have somehow managed to streamline the whole formula by allowing you to re-solve the level without having to start it over is a brilliant innovation, I'm excited to see more of it and hope it catches on and we see it in more games in the future. Anyway, I'm bloody tired and can barely string a sentence together, plus it's Christmas morning here so I'm not going to get into a rant, suffice to say, I loved what I saw of Stacking and hope the rest of the game is as good as I'm imagining it to be.
" @Venatio: There probably won't be a PC version. Double Fine says that EA won't give them the money to produce one for that platform. A shame. "THQ is the publisher for Stacking.
This game is great. Glad I'm not one of those "Where's my PC version?!" people lol.
If I were, I wouldn't be enjoying this fine game right now.

Man, as long as you went into it expecting an RTS, that game was awsome.As an unabashed fanboy, I'm convinced the second I see "Double Fine Presents" :) "Anyone else convinced yet?
