Herman Electro is an electricity and tile-based, puzzle rogue-like. There is no one way to solve each puzzle. Perhaps you cut a critical wire and collapse the integrity of the puzzle. Or maybe you’ll use a bomb and smash the room to smithereens. Solve, smash, and explore your way to victory!
## About This Game
For years, the prisoners of the Gauljan mushroom factory have dreamed of
escape. Unfortunately, the way out is blockaded by six floors of dangerous
pits, complex wirings, and incompetent guards.
## The Prison
Explore six floors of puzzles, and help Herman and his friends reach the
outside world! Each floor is filled with puzzles, an exit, and some special
rooms. To escape, you’ll have to explore each floor by solving puzzles. As you
do so, you’ll collect an assortment of tools to help you in your journey. But
every time you play, the layout of the factory changes completely. Each escape
attempt you will need to explore an entirely new factory, so make sure to
think on your feet!
## The Puzzles
Most rooms in the prison contain an electricity-based puzzle, which you’ll
need to use your tools to escape. There is no one way to solve each puzzle.
Perhaps you cut a critical wire and collapse the integrity of the puzzle. Or
maybe you’ll use a bomb and smash the room to smithereens. Trick a guard into
falling into a pit, disable a long sequence of electric floors, or find the
exit by cutting through a mass of walls. You will need to use all your wits to
find the most appropriate way to escape each room.
## The Tools
These tools will be your best friend and your closest ally as you guide Herman
to victory. They are all powerful in their own way, so make sure to use them
well!
The Saw: Cut down all the walls and make a direct path to the exit with the
saw.
The Plank: Cover up pits or block off the guards using the plank.
The Wire Cutters: Cut a wire and destroy a malevolent circuit with the wire
cutters.
The Water Bucket: Short out a power supply or create a deadly puddle of
electrified water with the water bucket.
The Sponge: Clean.
The Brick: Break glass with the brick.
The Gun: Protect yourself from guards with the gun.
## Supertools
In addition to the run-of-the-mill, basic tools listed above, you will also
discover rare, supertools hidden throughout the prison. These tools can be
used to invent unique and creative solutions to a seemingly impossible puzzle.
Although much more powerful than basic tools, supertools are much rarer, so
use them wisely!
The Bomb: Blow up the puzzle itself with the bomb.
The Crowbar: Bust open a door with the crowbar.
The Spring: Jump over walls with the spring.
and 25 more!
