From the guys behind Samorost and Machinarium:

http://amanita-design.net/games/botanicula.html

and it's bloody lovely. Hell of a lot of fun that's cracked me up a number of times (a rare event!).

And it's available as a Humble Bundle, so you can pay what you like for it.

Is it still in flash? It may be a stupid complain, but that's the reason that Machinarium didn't grabbed me. It looked like a (very lovely) interactive wallpaper

Yup, it's Flash.

Nothing wrong with the interactivity in Botanicula, most things react if you either move your cursor over them (you can cause leaves to move for example) or just click on objects and creatures to provoke a reaction.

I wasn't sure if I'd like it at first so only paid $5, but once I've finished I intend to re-purchase and plonk down at least another $20 - it's the least I can do to reward the developers for creating such a wonderfully fun game.

It's excellent fun, enjoying running around seeing the pure art and imagination on show.

Also worth mentioning that you get Machinarium and Samorost 2, plus soundtracks for all three in the Humble Bundle, plus more stuff if you pay over average.
