Interactive objects (Rustyard)

A list of interactive objects in Rustyard. All interactive objects in Rustyard can often be interacted with by the player's mouse cursor, while others require to actions of another object to work. All interactive objects cannot harm the player, they existing solely to help the player.

Cages
Cages are an interactive object in Rustyard. Cages are the Rustyard equivalent of cages in Onekey.

Appearance
Cages appear as a block with two "hands", these "hands" having two fingers. The term hands is used to describe the hand like appearance of the beam-shaped structure that has two smaller beams placed so that each one forms a right angle. These two hands are not identical, they are made so that one right angle beam on one hand can go above/below the right angle beam on the other.

Game Information
Cages are introduced fairly early in Rustyard, there entire existence being to hold Rusty so that the player can make the adjustments to the environment before letting Rusty continue walking. They are helpful in that the player doesn't have to make quick movements to change the environment in order to make sure Rusty isn't harmed. They are not as common in later levels of Rustyard.

Wheels
Wheels are an interactive object in Rustyard, encountered as early as level 2.

Wheels appear as a circle with some small beams attached to the middle of the circle, which attach to the handle of the wheel.

Wheels are an object which can be operated by clicking the wheel and turning it in a clockwise motion. The movement of the wheels are necessary to raise gates and cause fans to turn. The faster a wheel is moved, the faster a gate will rise or a fan will turn. The movement of a fan will not cause two objects to work at the same time, thus, the movement of one wheel will not cause both a gate to rise and a fan to turn.

Criticism
There was heavy criticism directed towards the wheel interactive object, when Rustyard was released. Many Nitromians found that they couldn't move the wheel fast enough to raise the gate, a problem that many people faced.

Fans
Fans are interactive objects in Rustyard.

Game information
Fans appear as blocks embedded in the floor. They do not operate on their own, the player has to turn a wheel in order to make them turn. Upon making them turn, they will blow air upwards, air which can lift the player off the ground. The player has to turn the wheels fast enough in order for the fans to turn and blow enough air to lift the player high enough up.

The turn of a wheel will not cause a single fan to turn, but a group of fans that are connected to each other.

Gates
Gates are interactive objects in Rustyard.

Gates appear as a rusted object, which at first appear on the ground, immobile.

Gates appear in many places early into Rustyard. Gates are not independent like their hazardous crushing cousins, these non-harmful gates requiring the movement of a wheel to get them to move. These gates are first encountered on level 2, and can kill the player if they cause rusty to walk underneath it.
