Steamroll
About
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.

A wonderful Game. I like these Games that include a new Game principle. It's Fun to control the Ball and overcome the Obstacles with the "Extras."
Only the Control is a bit tedious. Even using several "extras" at the same time could be presented more clearly visually.

Game uncovered by chance; The description offered by the shop page is what the game proves to be and offer; Basically it's like having taken the ZUMA's toad and putting him to solve the puzzle mappings in which you can move and walk actively. Graphically very pleasant, the physics is well done, never found bugs or problems of physics precisely, everything works as it should. Recommended.

I Don't like to give negative feedback to a game that has obviously been done with such care/affection as this, but although the game is original it is not enjoyed. It Is very boring, it is not difficult from the standpoint of thinking, nor skill, and although the mechanics and design is fresh together they say nothing.
Anyway, a penalty of gambling, a good idea that could have been more but it lacks a spark an incentive to make it fun.

Early Access Review The Game The idea is very good and original, I really like the way of playing; The fact of being able to explore the whole environment combined with the strategy of the puzzles I love!
Very Good Game If you like strategy, puzzles and explore.
I see a lot of future, and I look forward to continue creating more levels in new updates!
Aesthetics The artistic style is great, a combination of steampunk elements that create a mysterious and intriguing atmosphere.
The suitable environment to create the tension necessary to get you in the role of the protagonist, who has just started working in a mine, it is easy to feel like you are inside.
Music Sublime Music, a great soundtrack.
Very good!!

At the beginning of the Game, the Difficulty is very simple and the first Levels are quickly done. That'S why I thought at the beginning that the Developers were looking at the Intelligent nature of the Players. Far from it ... Because against the Middle of the Game the degree of Difficulty increases Hearty. Luckily, I didn't cancel prematurely and give the Game a Chance. Unfortunately it is quite short, already after 7 Hours I had it through.
The German Translation is not bad, but one or the other particular Article is unfortunately missing, but it is not too bad.
My Conclusion: The Game is Fun, but is too expensive for 10 .-Bucks for the Required game content. I think a free DLC with more Levels would make people more likely to acquire the License. Don't Regret buying but don't regret it, just hope for more Content ...
