Little Inferno is developed by the same people who brought you World of Goo, and to be honest it's not quite as good. There's nothing especially bad about it, though the gameplay does get a little monotonous - burning things only stays fun for so long. There are several quite spectacular things about it, however. The story, delivered in bits and pieces through the post, outlines a dark and concerning backstory for the seemingly unassuming world (hinted at in the trailer). There seems to be some allegory going on as well, though I haven't managed to nail down quite what it stands for yet. It's a rather pretty game, as well, the graphics are very polished and in the WoG style.

I can't go into too much detail about it without revealing spoilers, but the ending will make the 2-3 hours of burning things more or less worth it.

My advice, do pick up the game at some point just for the experience, but maybe wait till it's on sale and not $15.

Like Bionicle.

I visited once, to see if a hacking community had sprung up like for world of goo

Seems the intention is there, but there's no resources as of yet.

Honestly, even Valve released their VPK format.

Don't attack Bionicle bro, it was a lot cooler than regular Legos. I still hate how they discontinued them, in fact BECAUSE the story ended.

Any progress on Little Inferno modding?

Now you have Hero Factory which are made of cheep plastic that makes the original Toa collection few hundred dollars.

But we are getting off the subject. Yeah, was not into the game when I saw the trailer.

Wait, how could you mod it?

There were World of Goo mods, so it's not completely out of the blue. But in retrospect, there's really not much you could do, even if it was moddable.

EDIT: seems there is:

Looks like one of the developers is working with modders to create a tool for making custom items, which is neat. I doubt the modding scene will live very long, though, as it's a small game.

You thought I was attacking Bionicle? FYI I used to collect Bionicle like Leonardo DiCaprio collects nominations for best actor (but never wins them). And when I saw a Hero Factory commercial I wanted to kill whoever came up with that.
