The briefing

About this game

Heron: Steam Machine is a puzzle game set in a factory producing rubber duckies with a large steam engine. Connect pipes to earn points and reduce pressure while monitoring four gauges. If any gauge reaches its maximum, the machine eventually explodes and the game ends.

Play alone or cooperate with up to four players. In multiplayer, each player works within a separate, color-coded section of the screen, solving their own part of the puzzle while coordinating with the rest of the team. High scores can be entered on a leaderboard for other players to challenge.
