I haven't gotten far, but i don't really need to to write this review. This is everything I have ever wanted in a hidden object game. In a genre that is imitated and regurgitated SO much that they begin to all feel like the same game, Tiny Bang Story is a breath of fresh air. Many thanks to Colibri for putting love imagination and innovation into a genre that that has had few standouts despite it's potential.

Art isn't bad, but that's the only nice thing i have to say, sadly.
- Length is pretty standard for the genre, but I found myself pushing to get to the end so I could move on.
- HO scenes are repetitive. Reusing scenes is fine, but often the same items were reused over and over
- Minigames were challenging ONLY because they were vague and the game instructions often wouldnt' load.
- At one point after blowing through a wall, the art straight-up disappeared, leaving a blank screen to fumble through
- rather than sectioning off areas (moving on from one larger area to another) the game had me going back and forth, back and forth through the ENTIRE map over and over and over again. No fast travel, either. The Back arrow was also flakey and you have to find the sweet spot to make it work, which made it that much more cumbersome.
- No story to speak of, and what was there wasn't great.
- HO scene sparkles weren't even animated
- Hint button wouldn't point you in the right direction, but rather show an image of where you should go. This was mostly fine except for when it was somewhere you hadn't been before.
- There wasn't really any sort of indication or explanation of the time feature - which you only use in two rooms + the ending.

I could probably go on but you get the point. This game inspired me to write my first ever steam review. The end.
