Abtastorgan, das
Ein Organ zum abtasten seiner Umgebung.

A small puzzle game.
Your job as an Abtastorgan Operator is to move the Abtastorgan with the classic QWOP control scheme.
Arrowkeys also work.
Abtasten everything to unlock the next level.
16 levels with 8 control schemes.
Each level can be finished in around 15 seconds - if you are good enough. :cool:
Unlimited retries! Or try to complete all levels with restarting.
Beware of the time limit! Try to get a Gold rating in every level!
Five fascinating languages!
CGA inspired graphics!
Untitled!

All controls are shown ingame but anyway:
- Q W O P or arrowkeys: move the Abtastorgan
- Change language at any time by pressing L. (DE, FI, EN, UA, FR)
- Restart Level with SPACEBAR
- go to next level with RETURN (when completed)
- ESC to return to menu / time display

Great game! Level 16 is really evil.

I miss being able to know what the time limit was when solving a level in the first try, just to know how close I was to it.

Hm yes. I had thought about always displaying the time limits for gold/silver/bronze.
On the other hand there is a balance between giving info and confusing the player with a too cluttered screen.

My suggestion is to add it to the prize screen just like it is in the failing screen. I don't mind not knowing what time the different prizes require, but maybe you can show them in the level selection menu only for the completed ones.
