listen noobs. there are some things that you need 2 know for this game. first, the max psi is 60. second, you should never use the flamethrower. third, you ALWAYS need to incorporate the crouch into your designs, because after the first level they all have rocket launchers. the best form for the rifle is to make to fuse valves one above the other, the top with 10 and the bottom with 30. attach these to both rifle pipes, and attach pipes connecting them to the boilers (the same boiler on each side). also, past level one make the rifle on the right have a control valve so that you can duck.

i worked it out. got real simple once ya know how to tune each wepon, then its pownage. Hey Stick Man Joe im 14 and goin back into Algebra next year and i still figured this out

Listen up guys. I am only a 13 year old going into 9th grade taking Geometry. GEOMETRY. Geometry does nothing to help me in this game. However I have figured out with the help of the many comments how to work rifles and jackhammers. For a Rifle, set an alternator valve on the two joint valves, then set the psi to 10. Set a fuse valve under that, and set its psi to 40, no higher, or it will be slow, and no lower, or it won't fire. Connect the boiler to that fuse valve and if you want the ability to control crouching, set a control valve to one boiler using a joint connector at the base of the boiler to have the control and rifle working at the same time. Connect the control valve to the crouch valve and then you can use the lever to control when you crouch. You won't be able to move with just one control, but you will be able to duck and fire like the old geezers used to do when guns first came out.

Great idea, but too short and too hard to learn. After you learn, that's all ok.

WhiteNoise69, I did use the ? (not all that easy to spot) but I found the help in the game to be not so helpful. I've since finished the game and scored it highly, but if people want to give a low score due to poor and/or hard to find tutorials/help, that's their prerogative.

first level use one boiler use cotrol valve one end of valve for walk and the other split and for two flame throwers. walk to him then switch valve, hell be just out of attacking range

It is not clear how the fuse valves and alternate valves are meant to be used in conjunction. I finished the fourth battle despite not being able to get a repeating gun to fire more than once, ever. The concept is awesome but lacks user-friendliness. What everyone says about needing a tutorial is correct. Show us how the damn parts work!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
VERY hard to troubleshoot the problems I was having with the sketchy descriptions of functions. I would strongly suggest a tutorial that walks you through the functions of the special parts and how to get them to work!

I wish you people would learn to press the ? button in the workshop before giving a low rating for not being able to figure it out.

ahh easy lvl 3 all you need steam cannon connectted to 2 3 way conectors which lead to steam vent and a fuse at 60 thershold connected to turn connected to straight down steam tank conneced to turn then 1 piece connector connected to preasure guage connected to steam tank and on the other tank just connect to crouch for infinate crouch easy win 0 dammage taken

OK, so i finished it but DAMN was it hard to figure out what stuff did... once you had it figured out it was almost too easy. I think some of the fun was the challenge.... Still I was left wanting more.

Repeating Rifle & Buzzsaw where the only parts I ever used to complete the game. No movement either - just crouch to dodge cannonballs.
Its a nice puzzle / "teach your bot" game - but definitly needs some work. More space for the logic / Piping, more 'valves' or active parts that kick in when certain conditions are met (health below x perhaps)etc.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Repeating rifles fire best when attached to an alternator valve at high pressure settings.
Also, if you wanna win fight 4, rig a buzzsaw to one arm, and a flame thrower to the other, and jsut perma crouch

Seems like an amazing game. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to make it work. Too much mechanics for no tutorial. 1 star.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I bet this game would have been great with a tutorial. Just can't get it to work myself, as i have no idea what the different components do, or what they need, nor how i should connect things to start working... I am a bit disappointed, as i love steam technology, and was looking forward to this. Maybe an update to add tutorial wouldn't be too bad... 3/5

O.K. I'm staying tuned for episode 2. I really like the game now that I've figured it all out (Rather than impervious legs, perhaps making them hard to hit would make more sense), and I'd love to see it realised with clearer graphics (these look like they were borrowed from an abandoned project from long ago), and clearly a better tutorial. Honestly, I could see an improved version of this game becoming my favourite Flash game outright!

The fourth map is pretty easy. Put jackhammers on both sides and set them up with the alternate vavle at 10 and the fuse to 50. Enable crouch and use it when he shoots his steam cannon
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The third map is pretty difficult; he has a deadly steam cannon and a saber which means instant death if not prepared. I used a repeating rifle on the right side and a jackhammer on the other. Also enable the crouch valve with the switch. Set the fuse vavle for the jackhammer to 50 and the alternate valve to 10. For the rifle set the fuse to 30 and the alternate valve to 10

In the second map you will want to use two recoiless rifles and enable the crouch option. Make sure you connect the switch thing to the crouch pipe so that you can build up pressure. As soon as he shoots duck
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
First mission use One recoiless rifle. To use connect both boilers via pipes running down the bottom. make sure you use lots of gages to tell your pressure. Place the rifle on the left side. Place an alternator vavle directly connected to both ports of the rifle. place A Fuse valve (upwards) in the space between. Use the wrench to set both, the alternator and fuse to sixty.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
rather easy for the first and second missions you do not need to configure the movement. The alternator valve just simply switches every time it reaches the PSI you have set. For instance you should use a repeating rifle connected to an alternator valve and then to a fuse valve set to 30-40 to win the first mission easily

benasto if you crouch your guns miss,and if the other person crouches and you dont,you miss.if you are missing its your own fault

Unintuitive, has a vague tutorial, barely readable fonts, and for some reason I get a yellow "MISS" every time I fire my guns in the 2nd fight. I will give it another shot, but after investing the time to figure out how it's played I feel a bit ripped off that my guns are useless!

I'll give you what I know. To test this use the 1st mission. For the rifle: Use an alternative value set to 10, at the opening in the alternative value, use a fuse value and set it to 40 or more. I beat the game. =3 4 missions
wtf is a alt value or a fuse valv and how do u set it
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
its a pretty good game after you figure it out a little.it has a steep learning curve,but if you cant figure it out on your own,thats your fault.
