I was thinking the same. Some of it looks like the following pic, which
was
created in Shade/Photoshop:

Looking at screenshots of their next game, it looks like they have a good
traditional art background:

If you like point and click flash puzzle games, then it's good. I prefer
the games by Mateusz Skutnik though (Submachine series, Covert Front
series,
Fog Fall, etc.).
Samorost 2 stops half way through though and you have to buy the full
version to finish it.
