      If the controller is not available, the keyboard also can be used. When one of the four objects is placed in the green area, a sign appear on the image on the to screen. The game ends when all objects are placed or a time limit was set and the timer drops to 0.

    • In both cases a vote will be shown:

    • 3 stamps if user placed all objects in less than 75% of time

    • 2 stamps If placed in less than 50% of time

    • 1 stamp otherwise
