"Step On It! is a Macintosh-exclusive puzzle platformer, ever-so-
slightly similar to the famous [Lode Runner][1] series. There are many
differences, though. You make your way level through level collecting
loot and avoiding baddies, of course, but there is added complexity in
movement.
Your character must build bricks to jump onto or use as support, which
can also be destroyed. With those bricks you navigate along both the x
and y coordinate systems, making your way around the world. They are
also used to block off enemies (assuming they can't destroy bricks
themselves!) and uncover secrets by building over them.
The enemies all bear likeness to toys but don't let your guard down;
contact with them is always fatal. You have your common platform-
fodder ones, but then there are balls which spin around all surfaces,
robots that shoot lasers, and much more." --[MobyGames.com][2]
Similar to the 1980s arcade game [Solomon's Key.][3]
Step On It! was inducted into the 1997 Macworld Game Hall of Fame as
the year's best arcade game.
