As Otto Matic, your task is to explore strange worlds to rescue human slaves and alienating any Brain Aliens and their allies that stand in your way. In the spirit of Pangea's previous success, ''{{VideoGame/Bugdom}}'', you traverse through ten levels while battling enemies, collecting weopons and powerups, and rescuing innocent characters. but unlike ''Bugdom'', you must hurry when rescuing humans, because alien saucers will try to abduct them. Points are awarded based on how many humans you rescue and how much inventory you have when you complete the level.

''Otto Matic'' is a third-person shooter and Platformer developed by Creator/PangeaSoftware for the AppleMacintosh and released in 2001. It is an AffectionateParody of the science fiction [[BMovie B-movies]] from the 50's.

In the year 1957, an alien race known as Brain Aliens have come to Earth from their home world Planet X to abduct humans and use them as slaves for their master, the Giant Brain. Luckily for the humans, there exists a galactic police force known as the Otto Matics who send one of their own to put a stop to the Brain Aliens' plot.

As Otto Matic, your task is to explore strange worlds to rescue human slaves and alienating any Brain Aliens and their allies that stand in your way. In the spirit of Pangea's previous success, ''{{VideoGame/Bugdom}}'', you traverse through ten levels while battling enemies, collecting weopons and powerups, and rescuing innocent characters. but unlike ''Bugdom'', you must hurry when rescuing humans, because alien saucers will try to abduct them. Points are awarded based on how many humans you rescue and how much inventory you have when you complete the level.

!!Otto Matic contains examples of:
* AffectionateParody
* BlobMonster: The nose-shaped blobs on Planet Snoth.
* BMovie: The game is a parody of the these.
* CropCircles: At the end of the Earth level.
* InsectoidAliens: The giant praying mantises on Planet Sulak.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou
* MechanicalLifeforms: Otto Matic could be one of these, though whether or not he is sentient is never established since he's silent throughout the entire game. Same thing goes for the mutant robots on Planet Knarr.
* MyBrainIsBig: The Brain Aliens' brains are their ''entire'' heads.
* PlantAliens: The giant venus fly traps and pitcher plant boss on Planet Sulak.
** Also the mutant vegetables on the Bently Farm on Earth.
