If you would like help with MOTAS, you can certainly ask for it in this topic. Hintseekers and givers, cover up spoilers in secret tags.

MOTAS?
The Mystery of Time and Space--it's a simple graphic adventure game that you can play over the web. Very easy to get into it. Probably will take you an hour or three to solve. http://www.albartus.com/motas/

I'm enjoying MOTAS, currently on the ridiculous codepad...
I was wondering if anyone who played can tell me why the answer to the one with the letters starting with LVGP was what it was... all the others I've gotten right the first time, but that I just kept making random guesses

Okay. I finished it now... that's such an evil evil trick... Warning to anyone who might play... It is UNFINISHED...
Fun, easy, yet entertaining, reminds me of the really old game Deja Vu ... 's kinda like Myst, I think, though I never played Myst.... But you'll get sucked in to the plot and then BOOM it ends, and yuck it's over... The spider rocks though

Alright, I finally got around to playing this game. Is it wrong that the hardest puzzle for me was the pen and paper puzzle?

And Drizzo, I have no idea at the answer to your question, I got that one by random guess as well.

Absolutely spoilery for the level with the motorcycle.

Hope that helps, it's possible I left something out, if I did, repost any further questions, and I'll be reminded of what it is.

I played that game three times in one day. The second time through, I wanted to buy a pop at the end, but forgot to, so I had to play it a third time to do that. The perpetual items when you replay the game are pretty amusing, at least to me.

Nope, they hang around as long as you do. And since you're not supposed to have them, they don't go away when you use them. Perpetual screwdriver!

And I was playing at school, on a T3 line. I may be a little twisted, but I'm not a masochist... though some of my recent room creations would disagree with that statement :evil:

Angel, have you noticed that your signature looks a little funny?
I think you forgot a bracket.

Of course, we've got a hang-up about image signatures because they slow down the page for dial-up users (like myself), and we're afraid that someone will eventually bring in a big animated gif if we allow anyone to have an image signature, so we reckon it's better to be consistant now than have to sort out just how many sand grains make a pile.

Oh wait, that is a... I have to go over here now.

Quick answers can be uninformed, but here goes. I noticed some icons pop up on the right side of the screen if you hang around there. Maybe one of them is a save button. However, these might only be available after beating the game. In my personal experience I didn't notice them till then.
Also, does your brain serve as a decent saved game? This game isn't that long, and the second time I went through it only took twenty minutes or so. The game designer may have thought likewise.
Third idea. Since it is an online game, a save game feature would have to be implemented with cookies. So you could look through your cookies and see if you have any from the site.
Hope this helps.
