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 Scarabeus
Half 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.
Steamballs
These 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.

Our Review
Steamroll: Rustless Edition is a good opportunity to play a jewel of environment puzzles. If it is true that the experience on Switch is not the most cutting-edge, but playing it on a laptop also has its point. A good puzzle design makes the phases always challenging and very interesting, although of course, being inside a mine, the environments are very similar and some variety in that sense would have suited it very well. Maybe in a new installment? If you like thinking games a lot and environmental puzzles, Steamroll is going to give you a few hours of fun.
