About Full Steam Ahead

Brunel’s ss Great Britain, the Science Museum and Aardman Animations have joined forces to make this addictive ship building puzzle game.

Let Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself be your guide as you create ships to solve the same challenges which the great engineer faced when designing the ss Great Britain. Build a ship to cut through rough seas, carry as much cargo as possible, go the furthest distance and destroy opponents in tug-o-war battles.

Choose your ship’s hull material (wood or iron), engine, fuel and propulsion mechanism to overcome the challenges posed by Brunel. The better you do, the more investor confidence, and so cash, you’ll earn; giving you more funds to design bigger and better ships!

Become a great problem solver just like Brunel, and take inspirations from his determination, resilience, perseverence and his ability to learn from his mistakes.

• Eight ship building challenges posed by your guide, Brunel.
• Discover the capabilities of iron versus wood in the construction of your ship.
• Explore the difference between paddles and the screw propeller.
• Earn investor confidence for bigger and more complex ships.
• Learn about the design and construction of the ss Great Britain.
• Find out about the history of the ss Great Britain and her working life.
• Can you build a ship to rival the ss Great Britain?

On the whole: 5 star, only 2 issues, 1) there isn't enough of it (which is a compliment really), and 2) could do with a few other things... like ballast tanks? Or oil fuel? that would also make it easier to make more content by having more variations. I do understand that this game is on the educational side, so i don't expect to see more content although what was there was great.

T70%
by T####:

It logjam fun and interesting. But as some other people have said you can't place objects very well because your finger covers the object. Maybe a select, unselect with finger movement anywhere would solve it. But as of now it's borderline unplayable.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's a novel game that i got really into. Quite challenging. However there are a couple of flaws, other than not enough levels. The editing screen could do with a zoom as its very fiddly even on an edge 7. Also a time lapse would be good as some challenges are very very slow.

Fantastic game. Tonnes of fun. The tug-o-war mission was allways my favorite and now it's better! But anyway, I swear, in the mission about going as far as possibe, at around 9000 miles, I saw a really big squid thing the watter. I think it was a kraken.

Where are these codes supposed to be located? I have mastered the ship under master and Apprentice but yet there are no codes and I can't find any. I can't move on in any way. Those are the two ships I have beat and the only ones I have the options for. Would somebody please help me out ! Luv the game though!

Yesterday, I hated the fact that you can't save your designs. Because I can kinda remember them all, but I can't remember what they were for. But this could make the game too easy, because then every one has a carrier group. So on the next one, let us save only our best one. That way, when you come up with one that is better, you really have to think if you want to replace it. This would be be cool though: have it come up like a blueprint in the build stage so you have to build it again.

K70%
by K####:

Multiple challenges with 2 difficulties. 4 stars in apprentice and master all levels in less than 2 hours. I wish there were some higher difficulty/5or6 star challenges. 4 stars as a cap is too limiting.

T70%
by T####:

Add more components, maybe different fuel types, different hull types, levels. And multiplayer like racing and tug-o-war and stuff like that. Please add more this is the only ship builder game on app store and its awesome. Maybe a multiplayer mode where you own ports and sail ships and can save designs and sell ships, of course that might be for a different game cuz it may cause lag.

I keep on experimenting with new designs n never get bored. Plz add more levels. And perhaps a game where i can create a ship/vessel with more upgrades like rockets, weapons? Or perhaps game like this with space theme? Juz a suggestion :) anyway great game dev

N70%
by N####:

The game is so boring waiting to test new designs. Plus the controls are terrible. You can't see where you put anything with your finger in the way. No offset control at all. Fix the control and add a x2, x3 speed option to make this more enjoyable.

V70%
by V####:

I could see this being a very fun game, but its just so incredibly slow that I lose interest quick. I honestly wasn't sure if I was just messing up the paddles or something because it was just going at a snails pace. A quick tip shown while loading (no other explanation) confirmed I was doing it right and it was indeed that slow.

Y70%
by Y####:

A bit on the retro side but it's a good one nonetheless. I just wish there was an option to speed up the time. It can get too slow to the point of being boring. Anyway, the real problem in the end is the lack of more missions. At the moment, I'm being left with no choice but to uninstall since There's nothing left for me to do with it.

K70%
by K####:

Great game, but I do have to say that things are kind of hard to move around. I think the buttons are too small for some things. Anyway, love it, but also I finished it in one day, and I really want more challenges or something.

W70%
by W####:

Stupid drag and drop placement soon makes this unplayable. You should be able to move the parts around by moving your finger outside of the design. Obviously.

H70%
by H####:

The game is quite short, completed the whole game in a day. However the game has a lot of potential for further upgrades. Multi-player would be great in tug-o-war, rate of knots, etc. Adding more challenges and engine types too could help in increasing the amount of content. However it is still a good game. Worth a try.

K70%
by K####:

I don't even know what I'm doing in the beginning, no tutorial at all. This is a ship builder but you can't even create your own design, I'm confused

N70%
by N####:

Fun game with lovely atmosphere. Would be even better if there were many more challenges, and more designing possibilities (more structures, more importance of hull shape, more enviroments, etc). Oh, and the basic difficulty level is way less fun than the master lvl, and it was actualy more challenging finding a good premade hull than making my own. Submarine steamships ftw!

K70%
by K####:

I really think the game is nice over all. But idk once u get 4 stars in all what is left to do? Try and beat them times? That would not be fun. more challenges is what is needed or beat someone else's score

K70%
by K####:

First off, theres not enough levels and parts. Second, please add a speed up time button or something. The gameplay gets really boring at times

K70%
by K####:

Its a great game you just gotta have a little patience. Could you add more components like fuel,crew or weather. P.s. it kinda gets boring later on

B70%
by B####:

Nice little game with fitting and great looking graphic style. Mechanics are interesting and fun for a while although the trial and error without feedback can get tedious at times. It's a nice sandbox for those who like to experiment.

M70%
by M####:

Enjoyable concept, but is WAY too small even in a 5+" phone. Text is miniscule and it's very hard to manipulate objects accurately. On a big tablet it might be OK. Also a little silly that you can't overlap components - ship design is not two-dimensional.

K70%
by K####:

The ships aren't big enough to do anything with an engine. The paddles can't be placed where a paddle would do anything and everything is so slow.

R70%
by R####:

I'd love to see more missions and stuff to add. Also a leaderboard. It is a lovely game, and I have spent far too many hours messing around on it! Also, it would be great if it would record what ship you achieved your high score in!

K70%
by K####:

Loved the game! For some reason the smoke stopped coming through the funnels and disappeared but won't come back! It's unfortunate really, hopefully it can be fixed!

C70%
by C####:

It has so many flaws but its possible to resolve them.

K70%
by K####:

Slow pace, small selection of equipment, and inability to design the shape of the hull make this an alright game. It's easy to pick up, and and is fun concept, but gets boring too quickly.

K70%
by K####:

It's a solid idea with good style, but I got 5 stars on all levels in both difficulties in an evening. It needs more things to do.

B70%
by B####:

This game needs a zoom option for building a ship if I make something smaller it won't recognize I'm grabbing it and is super frustrating, also once again fun game

K70%
by K####:

I wanted to like this for the theme. The graphics are cliched, text unreadable, controls awkward or missing, play stultifyingly slow. Burn, scatter ashes, repent.

K70%
by K####:

Can't rate it 5 because -1 for not being able to see part under my finger. -1 for being so short. I beat it in one day. Great for kids I guess?

K70%
by K####:

Can you add cruise mode or career ? Where you can have jobs to earn money ? Jobs like passengers transportation or package delivery. Fishing , or rescue? Pls and make some pirate ships and components for the ship to defend itself to pirates. Add more components for the vessel. ? This game has potentials. Like it

K70%
by K####:

The gameplay was awful and was sad in every way possible but I love ships so you know the game. overall I thought it needs improvement and needs more ship designs. I was thinking of doing a video on this for YouTube but zNO DONT DO THAT IF YOU DO YOU WILL GO TO HELL so that would be stupid

K70%
by K####:

This game is extremely boring, time consuming, and pointless. It is unbelievably unsatisfying to play. If I could get a refund for the time wasted on it I would gladly rip it from your company's hands.

K70%
by K####:

Needs more levels! Love the spin on the building/architect games! Great game. Plus I'd even go see the real thing! Except it's across the "pond."

K70%
by K####:

Trying to lay out the propulsion using a view of the hull that only shows a section through it athwartships, not longitudinally, is never going to work. You need a longitudinal view! Uninstalled!

K70%
by K####:

It's hard to design anything because your fingers alway in the way and everything is so slow, not like performance slow but slow as in takes ages for anything to happen.

U70%
by U####:

If you can add, after unlocking all the challenges, a free builder to play on an economical simulator of some sorts, I'm all in about buying the game.

X70%
by X####:

Enjoy the game, but it's definitely meant to be played with a stylus. Parts are difficult to place properly, because you can't see them under your finger.

J70%
by J####:

Great game to just mess around with. The only problems I have are. 1. The game is really short. 2. I can't figure out how to unlock the codes.
