I absolutely love this game. One of the best games on Kong, actually one of the best games period. It's hard, sure, but it's not fake difficulty, and there's no budget limits like you see in so many of these games.

God I hate wasting pressure of an entire boiler powering the crouch mechanism... would be useful to have some sort of pressure distributor. Although since it is difficult to understand the game at first as is, I see how extra pieces can confuse people further.

I Think this game needs a fuel tank for the flame thrower, some times it's fuel end before hitting the enemy while you need the control valve for something else....

Obviously there will not be any updates for this game, but hopefully there will be something mechanically similar without the lack of features.

Awesome game. Needs more though. Most of the game is spent trying to figure out how to do ANYTHING, but then as soon as you do, it seems like suddenly the game is over. I've invested a couple hors figuring it out, so now I want to actually play. Four battles isn't enough. Looking forward to the rest.

also if your having trouble with the game DONT BE AFRAID TO TEST STUFF. a failed experiment is just a test, theres a restart button for a reason.

Great game. Only problem I had was that the cannons wouldn't reload all the time even if I shut off the steam and had a vent to release pressure. Maybe I just misunderstood how it reloads?
5/5 though. Can't wait for #2! I hope its longer.

Gahh I figured out how to get extra power to the flamethrowers but I need a secondary route from FLAME A TO FLAME B uploading a pic...

I think we just need to be told what it is on the robot that makes the steam..
I spent like 15 minutes thinking the turbine at the top made the steam.. xD

I love the ideas your games have, but you don't seem to be able to integrate a good tutorial system in any of them. Brilliant games, possibly addictive and the kind that make you think (Rare games they are) but because I struggle at fully grasping the controls and layout of it, I fail to find much fun factor. I'll give it a 3/5 until there is a tutorial system or something that can help me get through the beginning stages.

ugn cmon people its really easy to learn this stuff all except for the rifle and the cannon(idk how to use the cannon but i do fine enough). BUT since i know that people want to know how to use the rifle I will post the instructions, LOOK NO FURTHER FOR THE RIFLE IS HERE! First combine the 2 steam if you dont need else. Use a switch 2 squares right of the bottom pipe of the rifle. Connect the switch to the bottom hole to a compression spring (if you put it upside down dont worry the game will forgive you) and modify the spring to 30 or higher if you want to actually shoot anything. Then on the other side of the switch attach a pipe turning to enter the top one. This one is your reload. Then to fight hold down for a few seconds to fire then push up to reload after each fire. If you and the rest of the people want to know then plus this thing. Maybe if it gets on the top ranks ill add cannon and else.

two examples of working mechs

i would be happy if to write a tutorial or give people advice just rate this up or pm me

I really love the concept, but it took me quite a bit of frustration before I figured out how things were meant to work. IMHO the learning curve is too steep. I'd love to see a new version with tutorial (say, the first two missions with half built mechs to help people get the idea of how things should go together).
Once I figured it out I loved playing it and was disappointed when I quickly reached the end. Please, sir, can we have some more?

Figuring out how the steam will react with the different systems is part of the fun. Early science was mostly "trial and error", so it makes for an 1800's storyline. Besides other games don't provide a manual for how gravity works, or aerodynamics, do they? LOL!

Not bad once you figure out how to make the silly weapons work.
HINT: Use more than one steam vent on the cannon, put them between a 60 psi valve and the cannon itself. This lets it bleed off pressure and reload while pressure builds up for another shot on the other side of the valve.
I'm still not sure exactly how the stupid switcher valve works... behavior seems to be erratic at best. =P

you have to press the little question mark it gives an example and explains everything-----------------------------------> vote up for everyones else

How to beat the game: Create a machine that can crouch and has a functioning repeater rifle. To make the repeater work: connect a fuse valve to the rifle's *bottom* pipe. Connect a two-square pipe to the rifle's top pipe. To the fuse an straight pipe connect an alternator valve. It is important that the single outlet of the alternator be pointed *upward*. Now to the valve connect a steam tank (it's ok to run pipe as needed). From the steam tank put in a three way junction. Connect one side to the steam tank. One side directly to a boiler. For the final side connect to the output of your control valve. From the control valve run a pipe to crouch mechanism and a pipe to your final boiler. Finally calibrate the fuse and the alternator to 40 psi. This design should be able to beat all levels.

this game looks fun shall i play it? sure!oh wait i don't know how to make a working fighting robot(a.k.a make a tutorial)

people its simple as hell. I dont get why so many people want a tutorial! play around with it its forgiving! they wanted you to test with everything so you would understand it not just: Oh here it is derp gonna build it just like this.

There may be no tutorial, but there is a little question mark next to the musical notes. It really helps! And you can use the example design for the first level. Bonus!

the 3rd level had me confused a bit but i figured out i had messed up parts. The 4th i used my trusty rifle scheme and trusty crouch scheme. And then i just meesed around with a flame thrower scheme that worked great.

wow, wonderful! as a creative builder this kept me going for quite a while! i loved the whole steampowered idea! took a while to figure out, but after i got it i was spending hours figuring out different solutions! 10/10! Bravo!
