Fragile blocks

Delicate Blocks are a type of block in Steamlands. Two types of delicate blocks exist: VIP and Munitions. Both act almost the same, differing only in appearance, occupation, and destruction, but are essentially the same.

VIP
The Block has a square headed man and a square headed woman with hair, nicely dressed and sipping tea. The background of the block is made of wood, and between the two in the box is a table with two tea cups. The Women will frequently sip tea as the player moves. The block is the size of six 1x1 blocks, or one 2x2 block and two 1x1 blocks.

Munitions
The block has many explosives in it, with two cherry bombs on the right side of the box, two red liquid containers of some sort on the stacked on top of each other on left side, and two barrels stacked on each other also next to the containers. A Skull-and-crossbones sign is present above the cherry bombs, denoting the danger of the explosives.

VIP
The V.I.P. block is very delicate, and has a low health of 100 which cannot be increased by upgrades as no upgrades exist. The Block cannot be dropped on the ground or destroyed. If any of those is done so, the Block will close and the two will leave furious, holding their bags and walking off.

Usually if this happens, the player will fail the level and have to restart, as the objective of the level is usually to transport the block through the level safely. The block is the same size as the Engine Room, and is one of two delicate blocks in Steamlands.

Munitions
The Munitions block is very delicate, and has a low health of 100 which cannot be increased by upgrades as no upgrades exist. The Block cannot be dropped on the ground or destroyed. If any of these happen the block will explode, if dropped on the ground it will explode on contact.

If this happens, the player will fail the level and have to restart, as the objective of the level is usually to transport the block through the level safely to the end. The block is the same size as the Engine room, and is one of two delicate blocks in Steamlands.

Trivia

 * In a beta image of Steamlands, the man in the VIP block lacked a hat.
