Contraption

Contraption is a platform title where you control a crazy professor who is trying to collect golden apples to power his fabulous invention. It consists of ten single screen levels, each with its own distinct theme (under-water, frozen, hell, etc.) Every level contains four apples scattered about and guarded by a variety of enemies moving in regular patterns as well as some fixed dangerous objects. There are also moving platforms. The professor can die by touching something he shouldn't, or by falling too far. Once all apples have been collected, a door opens. The professor needs to collect all apples and escape from the level before a timer runs out. Otherwise, the level resets and he has to start over.

After each level, there is a screen in which the professor needs to be moved to the top left, deposit his recently collected apples into his contraption, and then leave via the door to the next level.
