Samorost 2

Gameplay is similar to the previous game. The player interacts with the world with a simple point and click interface directing a small, white-clad humanoid with a little cap and brown boots (called simply "gnome" by Dvorsky). The goal of the Samorost games is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers. The puzzles are sequentially linked forming an adventure story.

The game contains no inventory or dialogue, and the solving of puzzles mainly consists of clicking on-screen elements in the correct order. Solving a puzzle will immediately transport the player character to the next screen.

The game starts when aliens land at Gnome's house and steal his pears. They are interrupted by Gnome's dog, so the aliens kidnap him. Gnome spots the aliens leaving with his dog, and chases them with his Polokonzerva rocket ship. He lands on the alien's planet and manages to infiltrate the alien's underground base.

He finds his dog, who is held by the aliens' leader to help power his cooling fan. Gnome saves the dog and together they escape the planet, but their rocket ship runs out of fuel and crashes on another planet. They travel around the planet and eventually find an air taxi driver and convince him to take them home. The driver then celebrates with Gnome and his dog at a bonfire, before departing.

Together with his freelance Flash and web design agency, Amanita Design, Dvorský produced a sequel, Samorost 2. In Samorost 2, the gnome goes on a longer quest to save his kidnapped dog and return safely home. The first chapter of this game (comprising the first 4 levels) can be played online for free. The second chapter (with 3 levels) is only playable in the full version, which cost $6.90 until the price was later lowered to $5.00.

The Samorost 2 Soundtrack is composed, written, arranged and produced by Tomáš Dvořák for Amanita Design, the soundtrack was released on 8 December 2005 in digital format and on 5 June 2006 on cd. The album includes 12 tracks.

Critical reviews were generally positive. The game was praised for its visuals and simple gameplay.
