Otto Matic is a video game developed by Pangea Software and published by Aspyr Media. It was released in 2001, and soon afterward, was packaged onto certain types of newly-released computers. Otto Matic, along with Weekend Warrior, is one of Pangea's games that was published by a company other than Pangea itself.
The year is 1957, and the humans of Earth have helplessly fallen under the evil eye of The Giant Brain. Under its rule, the Brain Aliens have invaded the countryside of Bentley Farm, abducting the townsfolk through flying saucers and taking them to bizarre far-flung worlds as slaves. However, one hope stands between the clutches of the Brain Aliens and all of mankind: the Otto Matics, a league of robots that guard the galaxy in the name of all that is good. You are Otto Matic, and you will journey through eight fantastic worlds, rescuing humans and defining the future of the galaxy.
Otto's main actions include walking, jumping, punching, and Jump-Jetting. He can also gather items to either use them or store them. Otto can collect weapons, extra lives, and various Atoms by smashing open hovering metallic Powerup Pods. Punching can also injure enemies.
By pressing the spacebar twice, Otto can Jump-Jet to fly across long distances, though only if he has at least one ring of fuel displayed in his Jump-Jet wheel (described below). Jump-Jetting is useful for crossing water, breaking through certain gateways, and travelling long lengths quicker. Jump-Jetting into some enemies will actually kill them.
Otto will encounter many different types of weapons throughout each world. There are electricity-blasting devices, flamethrowers, darts, and numerous guns.
