I suspect that quite a big part of a given game's sales can be attributed to its predecessor. What I know is that based on Machinarium, I'm buying Botanicula.
Machinarium is the only point-and-click game I've liked. Granted, I've only played two other games in the genre, those being The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and The Longest Journey (not the Dreamfall one), but both of those suffered from a few fun-and-progress-killing flaws (one or two solutions that were too far-fetched for their own good, for example). In my opinion, Machinarium doesn't suffer from far-fetchedness, it has plenty of varied puzzles that are fun (and challenging!) to solve, and it has a beautiful art style (Botanicula certainly continues this tradition). I consider Machinarium a must-play whether you're into point-and-click or not. That's why Botanicula is a given for me. Also, LOOK AT IT!
P.S. Jason, you really hit the nail on the head with the electron microscope observation. Something was nagging me about the familiarity of the visuals. It bloody looks like it's been shot with a microscope!

I don't know why they wouldn't just call it Botanica, that's a pretty clumsy title. Machinarium was incredible though, so I'm eagerly awaiting this
Based on the art style alone, I'm definitely interested. I love Amanita's character designs and the cluttered detail of the backgrounds (especially the indoor scenes).
