Title: Any controls other than mouse?
Post by: rusty_old_robot on August 13, 2010, 08:44:46 am
Hi, I just bought this game (collector's edition). Thing is, there's no readme file or manual except for the walkthrough booklet which is in pictures. So before I start, is it just point and click, or is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks

Hello rusty_old_robot and welcome to these fine forums!  ;)

To answer your question: yes, Machinarium is pretty much a point&click adventure game (where you use your mouse to get around). There are some parts like the arcade machines or unlocking the incorporated walkthrough that can be operated with the arrow keys and space bar.
The keyboard keys are not available in Linux but since you said you had the collector's edition of the game (and the Linux version doesn't come on them to my knowledge?)  you are not concerned.

Thanks very much. I only played the first few minutes but this game looks like lots of fun. I love the way the characters "talk" in pictures. I'd never even heard of this game, but I saw it in EB games and fell in love with the picture on the cover.
