Wogger is a multi-level, point-and-click surrealistic adventure in the same vein as the venerable Samorost. Created by Bernd Mattiebe of Germany.
While much of the game is finding the correct click spot to move the story forward, there are a couple of puzzles that will pose a challenge for some.
Overall a decent effort, though not quite as beautiful and impressive as Jakub Dvorský's work. And yet enjoyable just the same. If you enjoy games like Samorost, you will feel right at home in Wogger. Click.
Cheers to Mikael for suggesting the game. =)

Fun game
If you absolutely get stuck and have no idea what in gods name to do.

Once you get into the submarine how do you get it to go through the other shaft instead of just dropping to the spiderweb and bouncing right back over and over?
Posted by: UniCav | July 12, 2006 4:41 PM
To get the submarine going in the right direction,
My question is, before that, how do you get the water to start flowing in the first place. I've turned that stick on top of the mountain every which way, but I can't figure out how to interact with it.
I skipped ahead, which is why I know how to do the submarine.

OK, this is kind of a cute game, but comparing it to my beloved Samorost is sacrilege (sp?). There seems to be little rhyme or reason to some of these 'puzzles.' My complaints contain some spoilers

sorry about using it this way Jay, but it seems that my browser won't take me to sign in for my TypeKey identity.

Posted by: Hassle free | July 12, 2006 7:43 PM
Another complaint. First off, I obviously find the game entertaining enough to play because I'm actually trying to beat it. My complaint is mainly directled at the Samorost comparison. Samorost was linear, of course, but at any given time there were several 'hot spots' you could click on. Usually, if you weren't clicking on them in the right order, the stuff on screen wouldn't do much, but you could at least see ahead of time what was involved. So, it was like "ok, when I click the flower it bends like so, and the rock moves like this, and the bug moves here, etc." (In fact, that's how most of these games work). Here, however, not only is the story completely linear, but your choices are almost completely unobservable and contingent upon completing some previous step. The second scene is a particularly good example of this; rather than being able to click on the silver thing on the table (with no results) at first, it isn't even clickable until your little guy goes to sit down and think (what the heck is the point of that?) So, you're not able to identify the individual parts of the solution and see how they fit together. Instead, you have to find the right spot on the screen to click that then allows you to click something else. In that respect, this game definitely has some pixel-hunter qualities that I find pretty annoying.
I don't know why my panties are getting twisted up over this. Maybe it's because I love both Samorost games and find the comparison superficial. They're not even in the same league.
By the way, Jay, after all this bile I'd like to close by letting you know that I LOVE this site.
Posted by: tamsen | July 12, 2006 7:51 PM
LOL. No worries, tamsen. I appreciate your considerate argument and constructive criticism.
This game was most definitely inspired by Samorost, as evidenced by the floating land mass in space and the shooting stars in the background. And for something to be in the "same vein" simply means that it has a similar pervading character or quality.
I agree that this game doesn't compare on an equal level, but that doesn't mean there isn't a similarity between them.

July 12, 2006 8:26 PM
Yes, the Samorost comparison is merited, especially stylistically. Still, Samorost might be my favorite casual game I've played to date, so I don't take such comparisons lightly.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, what in the heck are we supposed to do with the glowing ball of light that we get in the tunnel? I'm inclined to think that it has to go up through the well, but I can't find anywhere to click.
Help?

The only clickable thing is the button on the 'water mill wheel', and that doesn't do anything.

Geschaft indeed. Unfortunately, unlike Samorost, it invoked little stratagy and was formed mostly aroundmouse hunting, only a 64, I'm afraid. Good graphics, though.
Again... does anyone know how to do a screenshot with IE; I'd greatly appreciate it. -MANAX
Posted by: MANAX | July 12, 2006 10:57 PM
Nevermind. Beat it :)
Posted by: Fishy | July 12, 2006 10:58 PM
I felt, considering how much I loved Samorost, that this game merited a play. I was dissapointed when I found that it didn't. Although it does stylistically (as noted above) resemble Samorost, in no way is the gameplay, art or even story live up to the standards it set for itself by taking after Samorost. Even doing something as simple as upping the fps would have helped.
As tamsen said above, it is a pixel hunter.
Time to get back to playing it!

The German in the bubble is something along the lines of:
And MANAX, if you're on a windows machine with a standard keyboard, you can take screen shots with the print screen button, which should be to the right of the F# keys. You can then open this up in mspaint, or whichever paint program you choose and crop/edit it.

Also... the sound. My god the Samorost sound was fantastic. They even are selling the soundtrack on iTunes now! OK, enough raving about Samorost... now I will go back and sit in corner of my brain and rock back and forth, murmering "Samorost" into the dark. Waiting for number three. Waiting... for the fat man in the bark-taxi. The smoking guru. The evil badger. *twitches*

Trilamo- Sorry, but could you explain further.. I've only had windows for a while because a very small part of my last computer literally exploded for some reason
greatly appreciated -MANAX
ps. a new breed of frogger is on the way.
Posted by: MANAX | July 13, 2006 1:34 AM
MANAX, by hitting the print screen button, you are copying an image of the current screen onto the clipboard. Once it's on the clipboard, you'll need to open up any paint program and paste it from the clipboard (edit-paste or ctrl+V). From there you can either save the screenshot immediately or preferably crop and possibly edit the screenshot before saving it.

Could someone please tell me what to do once the little red man has reached his little island, I keep clicking on the red button on the mast thing on top of the pile of rocks and moves round but nothing changes.

Posted by: Warren | July 13, 2006 1:31 PM
I don't really like this game.
Samorost was cute with very nice scenery and a story.
It also made you think in order to solve the little puzzles and what-not.
Wogger may have funky scenery similar to samarost but it's kinda lacking in the story and puzzle area.
It's more of just random clicking which I found annoying.

i am having a lot of problems with the whole 'random clicking' aspect of the game too. shamefully, i'm stuck way in the beginning. my little red guy is stuck in the spiderweb, the lamp is lit, and what the heck do i do with this spider that is stuck to my cursor? the red guy is pointing, but not to anything that's clickable.

July 13, 2006 8:02 PM
yeah, i'm doing a lot of right-click-'play's. i'm not entirely impressed with this- it's utterly counterintuitive, and while i admit it might just be the weather, the artwork isn't charming me enough to make up for it.

July 13, 2006 8:17 PM
Despite what others have said, I quite liked this game. While it may not measure up to Samorost, I thought it was still very well done. (Keep in mind that nothing can be as good as Samorost, so we can't expect too much!)
I thought the artwork was cute and the sequence of events was logical. I also enjoyed how the red guy would gesture towards what you needed to do next with his nose...hair-dryer...thing.
I liked that it wasn't incredibly difficult as well, because I'm the sort of person who quickly gets bored of searching the screen pixel by pixel for a hotspot.
The pixel-hunter aspect that many have already mentioned was annoying, but I didn't mind it that much...although this could be because I play a lot of point-and-click games. :)
All in all, it was a good few minutes of fun; I enjoyed it.

So what happens now? The little red man is still sitting on top of his submarine.

What do you do once the red guy has reached the "island". How long do you have to keep clicking the red button on top of the pile of rocks???

Aha! Got it. I was trying by clicking the "Level Name" link once a level had already loaded.
