About This Game Steamroll is an adventure and puzzle game with a touch of minigolf. It creates a steampunk atmosphere where you will have to solve puzzles by designing and shooting steamballs from your vehicle to create ramps, walls, activate triggers, blow things away, and more.In Steamroll you are a young engineer in his first day of work and take control of the Scarabeus, the greatest new steam-fuelled vehicle invention, while you try to survive in a crumbling mine and look for a way out.The ScarabeusHalf beetle, half armadillo, this amazing rolling vehicle can transform and deploy itself into certain bases. This allows you to fill the steam tank and, most important, to shoot steamballs.In its shooting form, the Scarabeus is connected to an underground resources tank. From there, you'll have to find out the best angle to solve the puzzles this mine proposes. Precision and calculus are needed to push buttons, activate switches and open doors. SteamballsThese small spheric devices can be shot in several angles and intensity. You'll have to be careful using them, you'll have a limited amount of resources in each deployment base. Steamballs can be filled with latest technology inventions, which will deploy after the steamball is shot. Walls will allow you to create surfaces in which steamballs will bounce. Explosives might be very useful to get rid of garbage and obstacles. Placed correctly, a ramp is the best way to reach higher places.Explore this dark steampunk adventure and meet some weird characters in your great and dangerous escape. Use your skills wisely and remember that patience is a virtue. 7aa9394dea Title: SteamrollGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:AntictoPublisher:AntictoRelease Date: 19 Feb, 2016 Steamroll FULL I don`t like to give a thumbs down for something that has obviously taken allot of care to produce but sadly I found this game quickly became boring.There are far too many controls for one thing, a bit of simplification of these would help quite a bit. My main complaint however is that the levels themselves quickly devolve into you doing a load of grunt work to set up all the pieces to a puzzle you spotted how to solve within seconds of entering the level, only to then move on to the next level and have to do a slight variation on the same thing.With better thought out controls it might be faster to get the pieces set up and get throught the levels, or better thought out levels might make it less of a grind. As it stands I cannot see me going back to this game.. If you like puzzle games like Portal or The Talos Principle you will also like playing this one.It runs smoothly, has very nice graphics and pleasant background music. The sounds are well done, too. Gameplay is fun - playing against time or resources (or both). I like the leader board feature and I hope there will be some expansion levels in future (or even a map editor?).. A great puzzle and skill game that constantly varies its challenges, but with somewhat dodgy localisation.I got this in a bundle, but now that I've played through it, I think it's well worth the 12€ it costs here on Steam.The game isn't very long, but long enough to not feel too short. I haven't tested this with mouse and keyboard, but the controller controls are very good.. Really fun puzzle game, enough said. The whole steam punk aspect to it makes it unique. Well done!!!!!. Fun puzzle game. Not overly hard so far, but there are stars you can try to get in each level that make it more of a challenge if you want. I'm surprised I never heard of this and only got it becuase I saw it in a bundle. Bought the bundle mainly because this looked interesting and I'm very glad I did.
