@Joseph: There is a button on screen, in the form of a gear with arrows pointing around. If you activate it and then press a pipe or something, it will magically flip!
you can also stay in cursor mode and hold the control-key to do the same thing.

I dont really understand this. How do you rotate things?

all I can say is i’ve beaten it at least ten times and would really appreciate it if another one came out and by the way this was the game that brought me to this awesome collection of games

Awesome game! My only problem was that I could never figure out how to get the cannon to reload. It said it would when there was a drop in pressure but the reload needle only climbed halfway. I could never fire it more than once. Can someone explain to me how it works?

Having only one controller is nicely challenging, crosspipes which are so big compared to the available grid is frustrating.
Also could be useful – bridge which only allows up to certain pressure to pass, kinda reverse-fuse, maybe thinner pipes?
T switch which controls itself. Has a spring or clockwork which switches direction of steam. Can be based either on pressure or timing. Mechanism uses up a bit of pressure.

fist time i played this game i fell in love. i figured out how to play efectivly in about 10 and beat it in 1 hour. i think a realy good idea for the next one is a one way valve so that you dont loose to much presure.(p.s. sorry for the spelling, im a terribal speller)

And why do we only get one control valve?

this game is HARD!!!! I can’t get past level 2. The flame thrower runs out of fuel before it can destroy the opponent, I can get the rifle working, but since that requires full use of the control valve to use, I cannot switch between crouch/standing to dodge the cannon. I have yet to get the jackhammer to work at all, and the buzz-saw does not do enough damage in the one hit that it gets before stopping. And how do the alternating chambers work? I have done everything I can think of but they never do anything. Is this game intended only for professional engineers? And if so then why is it on a casual site like kongregate. This game needs INSTRUCTIONS on how the parts actually work!!

Darn, my link didn’t post… I used the wrong html code.

I doubt it’s possible to fit more steam tanks in there!

Here's my "Omega Cannon". Three steam vents was just enough, with only two the cannon never reloaded. Goes to show how high the pressure was in there! The hardest part was actually finding room to place the three vents. This is still one of the most fun games on the site, even after all this time. Thanks, Zach (:
