The 16th American president was one truly awesome dude, capable not only of ending slavery, unifying a nation, and pulling off the swankiest of fashion statements, the stovepipe hat, it was recently reported he was also most skilled at making vampires itch from a cardiac wood allergy. So when Abe (Abraham Lincoln, ladies and gents) needs your assistance through his Steampunk Odyssey, how are you going to refuse?
Move ramps, spin gears and employ steam to escort the distinguished bearded one out of the dark, mechanical city in this point-and-click puzzle adventure from Mif2000. Despite the Homerific title, this undertaking is more amusing afternoon stroll than arduous, decades-long journey and, once you get the timing down in a couple areas, poses little challenge. Meditative music, a smoothly responsive interface and a landscape that's aesthetically appealing despite the soiled grittiness of the steam era, inviting the eyes to gander freely, offer up the majority of entertainment, relegating the gameplay to merely a tactile way to engage in this artwork. It's enjoyable yet too short, leaving you wanting more great moments with Mr. Lincoln. But, while not the Gettysburg Address, Steampunk Odyssey might be just symbolic enough to perk up the rosy-cheeked optimist in you.

Steampunk Odyssey Walkthrough
Level 1
Click and drag the adjustable bridge to pull it all the way to the left, connecting the two platforms.
Click Abe to walk him across the bridge and complete the level.
Level 2
Pull the adjustable elevator down so that it is even with the left platform.
Click the wheel at the bottom of the right platform to extend a second elevator.
Drag the right elevator down to make it parallel with the other platforms.
Click Abe to make him walk to the exit.
Level 3
Slide the left steaming pipe as far to the right as possible.
Pull the striped vertical bar upwards until the hand sign at the top of the bar is at the same height as Abe's face.
Drag the right steaming pipe all the way to the right as well to position it next to the right platform.
Click Abe to walk him off the left platform. The first pipe will launch him into the air and, if the height is correctly aligned, through the gap of the vertical bar. From there, the second pipe will bounce him up again and to the exit.
Level 4
Pull all three elevators down to create a bridge between the lowest platforms.
Click Abe to start him walking across the bridge.
As soon as he walks past the first elevator, quickly raise it to make it even with the middle platforms.
When he passes the second and third elevators, raise them to be parallel with the top platforms.
After Abe walks past the right section of the bottom tier, he will reappear at the left section of the middle tier.
Wait for him to step onto the first elevator, then raise it up to the top level where he can safely walk across the bridge to the exit.
Do not lift the elevator too quickly, or Abe will fall through the bottom.
Level 5
The solution to this level is a simple matter of timing the start of Abe's movement.
Click Abe when the slider is moving upwards and has just reached the same height as the bottom of the orange "Caution" sign on the wall to safely float to the exit.
Level 6
Slide the crane machine to the left by dragging the section indicated by the upper hand sign to position the claw above the farthest left barrel.
Drag the claw down by pulling the lower hand sign to pick up the left barrel.
Slide the crane left again to position the claw and barrel over the gap in the walkway.
Pull the claw down to drop the barrel into the hole.
Move the crane to the right to pick up the middle barrel.
Lift the claw all the way up to lift the barrel, then slide the crane all the way to the left.
Click Abe to start him walking towards the exit.
As soon as he passes the crane, quickly lower the claw to drop the barrel it's holding, which will block Abe from escaping through the left side.
Slide the crane to the right and pick up the right barrel and lift it to clear Abe's path to the exit.
Level 7
Ignore the elevator and slide the left adjustable bridge all the way to the left to connect the middle and left platforms.
Also drag the right adjustable bridge as far to the left as it will go.
Click Abe to walk him across the left bridge. When he reaches the middle platform, quickly drag the left bridge section all the way to the to the right to connect it with the right bridge section.
Level 8
Pull the right adjustable striped bar all the way down.
Lift the middle and left adjustable bars up to the top.
Click Abe to walk him past the left adjustable bar, then quickly pull that bar down as soon as he passes it to block an escape to the left side.
Wait for Abe to pass the unmarked striped bar that's just to the left of the right adjustable bar, then quickly raise the right bar.
Lift the left adjustable striped bar to unblock Abe's path to the exit.
Level 9
Click the wheel at the bottom of the right platform to lower the left elevator.
Click Abe to walk him onto the left elevator, then quickly click the wheel again.
Level 10
This is another simple level that is solved by timing Abe's start.
Wait for the steaming pipe to reach the very middle of its path while it is moving to the left.
Click Abe to walk him off the platform. If you timed it correctly, he will continuously float and bounce off the steam pipe until he reaches the exit.
Level 11
Start by raising both the left and right adjustable striped bars.
Click Abe to start him walking. When he passes the very first unmarked bar on the left, quickly lower the right adjustable bar to block him from leaving through the left side.
Pull the middle adjustable bar all the way down.
Wait for Abe to pass the second unmarked bar on the left, then lift the middle adjustable bar.
When Abe walks past the middle adjustable bar, raise the right adjustable bar to unblock his path to the exit.
Level 12
Drag the bridge to the right to extend it to the island.
Click Abe to walk him to the tree.
