<\/a><\/p>\n Windows download<\/a><\/p>\n Webstart link<\/a> (for Windows, Mac and Linux people).<\/p>\n Gameplay<\/em> Notes<\/em> However I found out in the last 12h that I can’t draw steampunk sprites at all, so the steampunk theme (and hence tower) doesn’t really come across. I should probably have stuck with water\/drainpipes and designed the levels to look more like a tower block with plumbing on the outside.<\/p>\n Oh yeah, levels. These got thrown in right at the last minute so there’s only a few of them unfortunately (especially because I found some bugs in the level loading right at the last minute). I really should have allocated more time to them because I think there’s some good gameplay struggling to get out under the hastily designed levels.<\/p>\n \n Tags: final<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 10th, 2008 7:17 pm","title":"Steam Tower \u2013 Final entry"}
\n Use the cursor keys to move and space to jump. X will pick up and drop a stray pipe. C will plug in a pipe to the wall or unplug it from the wall.
\n Activate all engines and you’ll complete the level.
\n If the tension in a pipe you’re carrying is too high you’ll lose your grip on it and drop it. A red glow around your player shows when the tension is getting high.<\/p>\n
\n The use of the theme is a little weak unfortunately. It started off being based on window cleaning and then moved onto drainpipes and plumbing. Somewhere along the line I started thinking about the Steam Castle in Steamboy and Howl’s Moving Castle and decided to switch from water\/drainpipes to steam\/steam engines.<\/p>\n
