How do you pick things up?

[Crinkle]

See title, main menu computer doesnt say shet about how this should be done. No controls page where i can even find out what the flip im supposed to do and non tutorial, serious WTF.

[orb]

You press left mouse button and when your hand is close or touches the object you want to pick up, you press keys controlling thumb and another finger.

[Crinkle]

Ok that moves my fingers around but doesnt pick anything up
Is there not just a grab key? Or is the aim of the game simply to knock stuff over and laugh about it?

[orb]

You grab items the same way as you usually grab them with your own hand, i.e. by using a thumb and at least one more finger. If there was simply a "grab key", the game wouldn't be challenging at all. The point of the game is to control each finger separately.

[Crinkle]

Ahh well this is pretty pointless then, its not possible to even do the first level because you cant grab and aim stuff and even if you do, it doesnt tell you how to do a operation so how are you meant to even know what to do even if you could figure out the impossible controls?

This is pretty insulting to the people who are actually good at the game and can speed run it. I mean, if it's this hard for you to pick stuff up, how do you go about your life?

I go about my life just fine, but this is a computer game. Its played with a mouse and keyboard, its not meant to be used to control individual muscles as part of some complex series of operations JUST to grab onto something.

I pick stuff up in real life because my body took many months as an infant to learn how to do it. This is a small game so shouldnt have decided to make it take the same months and months to learn a new way of interacting with stuff, JUST for one computer game.

You don't need to learn months. You should be able to handle it just great after 2-3 hours. You use the same fingers to press keys as the character you're controlling, anyway (i.e. you press the key under your thumb, and the character presses the thumb, too), unless you have rebound them to completely different. These 2-3 hours are really to learn how to handle the mouse controls.

ok and where do you find out what your supposed to do in each mission?

[orb]

Well, first time you play without spoilers by reading or watching any videos or screenshots, you need to experiment.

After you manage to successfully finish operation, you'll get a floppy disk with instructions.for that operation (for 3 first), to see what, where and with which tool you need to cut.

So you have to do the task in order to figure out hgow to do the task? This aint possible. I just keep hammer mashing the guys ribs into pieces because you cant aimt the hammer and then he bleeds to death, every time.

Surely it would be a lot less inbred if you got the instructions before the task you were supposed to do?
