Step into the brass-plated boots of Professor Vincent Cornelius Moore in Steamburg, an award-winning puzzle adventure game developed by Telehorse. This isometric, point-and-click title plunges players into a city overrun by hostile robots, where stealth and cleverness are your only weapons.
Overview
Steamburg presents a unique challenge: Professor Moore is unarmed and must outwit the mechanical invaders. The core gameplay revolves around strategic movement and the use of small electro-bombs. These bombs aren't for direct combat; instead, they lure the pursuing robots, creating opportunities to manipulate their path. The ultimate goal is to guide the robots into deadly Tesla coils scattered throughout the city, leading to their destruction. While the initial levels offer a gentle introduction to these mechanics, the difficulty escalates, demanding precise timing and careful planning.
