The Short Game

101: Waking Mars

Listen Later

Waking Mars is the second game from Tiger Style, developers of Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor and Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon. On the surface this 2012 follow-up to Spider appears to be a more mainstream, unsurprising game than Tiger Style’s first outing, but as it unfurls its tendrils Waking Mars reveals a complex and involving “action gardening” experience that captivated us.

Waking Mars is available on iOS and Android for $5, and on PC, Mac, and Linux for $10. Expect it to take between 5 and 8 hours to complete.
