The start of the gameplay - yeehaa
This is the attempt for an overview of the beginning of the exhausting game:
You start in your home loft.
There are many rooms, but they are all empty. In the further game play you will be able to fill those rooms with your stolen exhibits. The rooms are in the same style as the exhibitions, which will take place there. For the start up it’s also important to have a look at the playroom, which is meant to be the tutorial area. There you can try out the control of the kunsthaus. We decided to make the control in a “counterstrike-style”.
↑ Move forward
↓ Move backwards
← Turn left
→ Turn right
:space: Jump The kunsthaus is able to jump very high if it has eaten enough wobble pudding. By holding down the space-key the kunsthaus bounces higher.
:mouse: Move nozzle
:leftclick: Shoot With a crosshair you can aim at the targets you want to nozzle down.*
:rightclick: Action By right clicking you can get some information about the item you have aimed at e.g. tools, wobble puddings or other artwork you find in a level…
:m: Map The map is normally situated at the left-top screen. If you want to see more details press :m: and it grows fullscreen.
:i: Items A roundup of the items is positioned left. For detailed view press :i:
:esc: Menu The menu allows you to save your game and returning to the homeloft.
*) to nozzle down (nozzle, nozzled)
The kunsthaus doesn’t kill its enemies. Friendly bubbles named “bozzles” are its ammo. If they hit an enemy they will be kept in a bubble and are not able to harm the kunsthaus anymore.
TUTORIAL:
The gameroom is loaded with lots of items, which the kunsthaus can shoot at, and many obstacles you can jump onto etc. After spending some time in that room you will be able to handle the kunsthaus perfectly.
LEVEL 1:
Find three works of art to put a Renaissance exhibition.
You go into the Level One Room. It’s the only room where the mission is unlocked.
You start with a kind of card sorting game.
There are pictures and names you have to match correctly.
The correct solution would be:
SALIERA
Benvenuto Cellini
Kunsthistorisches Museum
Vienna
THE VITRUVIAN
Leonardo Da Vinci
Galleria dell’Academia
Venice
THE TOWER OF BABEL
Pieter Brueghel
Museum Boijmans van Beuningen
Antwerpen
When you have got the correct order you can choose between the three missions.
For example if you wanna start with The Vitruvian you click on it and then you start your mission in Venice.
You’re in a dark street in Venice. Look for your account executive. On the map there is a hint where you can find him. He tells you what you have to do in this city.
He whispers:
“Hello Blubby. Nice to see you again… There’s only one way to steal the Vitruvian. If you cross the big bridge you can see the Galleria. But you can’t break into it because you need special tools for that. There are three other thiefs, which own this tools. Nozzle them down and they’re gonna lose them. Collect them and then come back to me if you need further information…”
Be aware of policemen and museum guards. Nozzle them down. After collecting the tools you can enter the museum.
There is a labyrinth with arrows and you have to follow the hints which have all to do with Renaissance and the Vitruvian. If you follow the wrong arrow you get into a room where you see other Renaissance Pictures. If you right-click them you get some information about them. When you finally got into the Vitruvian room you have to aim at it and nozzle – then the picture is soaked up in your body. Then you have passed the first mission.
Congrats!!
(Scribbles will follow...)

First Lab Lession
"Alien Art Thief" - the concept of a perfect art-ego-shooter
You are the Kunsthaus Graz.
And according to all the bad exhibitions in the past you decide to find some interesting art on your own.
In a silent foggy night, the Kunsthaus shrinks and leaves Graz for an adventurous journey across the globe. And now it's up to you to lead the Kunsthaus through this exciting mission!!
The game has several levels. The aim of every level is to put a special exhibition which attracts worldwide attention.
In the first level you have to find three different works of art, the higher the level the more exhibits you have to find and steal. The Kunsthaus shoots with bubbles through its nozzles at his enemies (see the sketch).
Our game is a 3D Ego Shooter so you see the whole Kunsthaus only in the intro and the cutscenes.
LEVEL 1 example:
The easiest exhibition is about Renaissance. One of the three exhibits is the Vitruvian by Leonardo da Vinci.
It's located in Venice in the Galleria dell'Accademia - so you are transported a virtual surrounding of the museum there.
At first you have to find the person who explains to you how you can break into the museum.
There are many dubious guys who want to harm you. So you have to freeze them with your bubbles and collect stuff like picklocks or keys from them. If you have gathered all the necessary items you can get into the museums. In the museums there are things like riddles and labyrinths which lead you to the Vitruvian.
If you want, you can find out details about the other exhibits which are in the museum.
If you found the Vitruvian you have to soak it up with a nozzle, you are transported back to your Loft and you can start to find one of the other two exhibits.
You have to be careful not to cause alarm - then you will be hunted by many museum-guards and nozzle them down.
If you die you will be transported back to your Loft and have to start the mission again.
