Automaton: Introduction
Automaton: Introduction is a beautifully styled, rather melancholy, point'n'click tale of a lost little robot. The game, while great to look at, is rather simple and quick to finish, but this promises to be just the introduction to the little Automaton character, with 10 episodes to follow, so I'm guessing things get trickier later. I certainly can't wait to get my hands on the next release [subbed by hyperkinetic, Malia & winniethepooh].

Botzi: use the TAB key a lot! Some items may only be clicked in a given order.

I like the music. Would be better if the little robot moved faster than 0.0000001 mile per hour though.

Comment 26, Friday, February 2nd 2007 12:37:04 PM

Tons of Ads Suck!

:
The game is ok. The story is more interesting than the game play. I like the graphics as well and the music.

I DO NOT like this trend of couching games in all that advertising. It makes for a distracting environment. I would like to see this game not surrounded by ads. The graphics alone should deserve that.

I hope someone finds a way to see this game without all that advertising "noise" around it. If you find it, PLEASE post a link.

Unfortunately, I most likely will not go back to that site. It's just too dang annoying.

Tons of Ads Suck!

:
Level7,

Thanks for the link. However, no page loads when I cut and paste it. Any suggestions?

I know these folks can't post these games for free all of the time but the excess of ads on this particular game is just ridiculous. It takes away from playing the game, in my case.

Thanks again,
ToAS

I love this game! You don't have to use the tab key, only logic... Click around... The wheel should fit somewhere:-)

Very nice graphics and I like the music in a minor key (that's why we think he's soooo sad). Looking forward to the further adventures of the little Automaton!

Note: it must be easy if I got through it without help!

ToAS, I just tried it in Firefox, IE and Opera and for me it loaded in all of them. I can't think what's stopping you getting it to load.

Wonderful...I do have to say that the slowness of the automaton drives me nuts, though.

Comment 38, Friday, February 2nd 2007 09:01:35 PM

SHIT FOR BRAINS

:
Great game...reminds me of when Wogger used to be nice to play.

The game is so great that the adverts don't bother me at all. I can't imagine being so easily distracted!

Just have to say I laughed out loud when I got outside and clocked the Eye-On-The-Pyramid banner with "fnord" under it! Nice to see R.A.Wilson still getting referenced despite being really, honest-to-Eris ddead this time.

Loved this game.. does anyone know who did that piece of music?

:
I didn't notice any adverts, and my hair is not blond! This game looks promising, as long as it doesn't do the current "WOGGER" thing of 16? episodes so far?

:
And, oh Jas, thank-you for the empty but graphically superb spoiler... is this a new Lazylaces fad??? LOL ! ! !

Comment 44, Saturday, February 3rd 2007 01:38:59 AM

:
O.K., now I saw the ads... Why did you all scan down to read them if they perturb you so much???

:
Beautiful game, wish there were more like it!
Animation just a little too slow though.

Very nicely made. Really nice atmospheric music. I blocked most of the ads, so it sped it up a bit.

Nice site btw.

Finished this cute game without help. The only stupid thing is that it moved so slow.
