Very intuitive, but kinda choppy. Seems you gotta tweek things over and over to get it to work right due to poor instructions

OMG TOO SHORT NOT ENOUGH WEAPONS!!! needs upgrades, longer, some kind of better control system, better components (something that turns on and of at a certain pressure((for repeating things like the reapeater and jackhammer))

Wonderful game. Very intuitive and fun if you have more than half of a brain. (Which may explain the low votes.)
5/5 for Realism, fun, and replayability.

how do you fight? all i get is connect everything but how to move forwards backwards and use weapons is really confusing needs tutorial

An easy way to win fights is to rig a repeater to one boiler using a 60 pressure fuse and a 10 pressure alternator, then rig a steam cannon to the other boiler as well as crouch via control switch and a fuse after it. Beat the game easily. you can also reverse this setup for a more accurate, less powerful version.

I enjoyed this game, the design process was interesting, i wish there were more levels, more than one switch would be nice but i didnt have touble using just the one -other than that it was ingenious, 4/5

Solution to the repeater not working.
For the Repeater to work make sure its hooked up using the switch, otherwise for some reason there will be no steam.

repeater + repeater/crouch works pretty well. (repeater + repeater)/crouch might work too.
Needed: Ability to save setups. Keyboard shortcuts for rotating pieces and using the control switch. Using keyboard shortcut, allow me to rotate a piece *before* I put it down.
Game works great as a draft or proof of concept. I think having only one control switch is great! Forces people to be creative and preserves the awkwardness of early robotics.

this game seems awesome but its hard to understand needs a tutorial to explain what to do but seems like a game you could spends hours on designing machines

Very fun, but does take a good bit of thinking. then again, i need something to occupy my brain, since school is to easy for me to even CARE about it. 5/5 for original concept and ingenious design.

It's a little, you know...
hard to do anything with only one switch.
I can either be able to fire my guns, be able to make my guy walk, or be able to make him crouch.
I need more switches!
Oh, and a crosspiece that isn't 3x3 would be nice too.

This is a very sweet game along the lines of Robot Arena and other such titles. You might want to explain the whole concept of gaseous pressure to those who haven't taken or don't remember physics. It was a little hard to grasp at first, but once the concept was down, I was making things like crazy. Every weapon works wonderfully, if you can time it correctly. You should also be able to have a maximum of 3 controllable valves because I often found myself combining 3 or more functions at once.

Awesome game! 5/5
Yes it's challenging, and a you have to learn a lot by trial and error but I find solving the puzzles really rewarding.
Mourdos: The steam cannon will only reload at zero pressure - try using the steam vent.

Very good. Very complicated though. Just a word of advice for anyone having trouble, attach a fuse valve to the bottom port of the repeater and set it to 30 or 40.

Couldnt seem to get the steam cannon to reload. Otherwise, an interesting game. Would be nice to have the valves that shut off at a certain pressure, or limit the pressure going through them though. More space internally as well.
