Steam vents are somewhat common as obstacles in video games. Typically, they produce a cloud of hot steam right in front of themselves; this is the actual obstacle. Such obstacles range from being minor inconveniences to being damaging. They are typically static or intermittent obstacles, but seldom move around, since the pipes attached to them don't. They may become Goddamned Bats if their hit detection is badly programmed. If they are minor inconveniences, they act as such by causing Interface Screw. These obstacles can be most commonly found in Eternal Engine setting. Sometimes they also come out from broken pipeworks. If the vents are being pushy rather than harmful, see Vent Physics or Springs, Springs Everywhere, depending on how they propel the player upwards. See also the Flame Spewer Obstacle, where flame instead of heated steam is used as a hazard. |

The alien ship in Castle Crashers has an area where the floor is covered in air vents that periodically shoot out high-pressure gas. The damage they inflict is negligible, but they knock you high up in the air, and you're on a Timed Mission. | |

Brave Fencer Musashi has an area outside Grillin Village known as Steamwood Forest, where random steam pipes spew high-pressure streams of hot air. Some shoot out steam at regular intervals to provide temporary obstacles, and others continuously fire to create impenetrable barricades. After you repair the system that regulates the steam vents, Steamwood (you have to do this twice during the story), the vents cease to be a problem. | |

Played around with in First Encounter Assault Recon. Steam itself is rarely directly harmful to you, but half the time when you do see it, something invariably explodes near it and replaces it with fire, which is the real obstacle you need to get around. | |

Jackie Chan Stuntmaster (Playstation 1): Stage 4 happens across the rooftops, as the player has to time their jumps right, leap over awnings to advance, and climb metal ladders to access new areas. Some of the local dangers are vertical vents that can blow Jackie Chan off from the platform. | |

Super Metroid: In the intro level, Samus needs to escape a space station, while avoiding gushes of steam coming out from practically everywhere. If you get hit by the steam, you lose precious time to escape. It happens again during the escape from planet Zebes, only the steam's escaping from the ground itself. | |

Undertale: The steam vents in Hotland are actually useful, as the steam rising from them helps you jump between platforms. However, there is one puzzle where the directions in which the steam vents send you keep changing depending on where you land, and getting past it can take a while. There is also another room with lots of platforms with steam vents that can be quite hard to navigate your way around. | |

In Exalted, it is explicitly noted that the Autocthonians don't believe in factory safety, and the wild lands of their mecha-world are even worse, because they aren't supposed to be traversed by humans at all.

Rastan uses the fantastic equivalent of gargoyle-like stone blocks that release jets of blue flame. | |

Mirror's Edge had steam vents in a few levels, requiring you to stop, find a nearby valve, and shut it off. The lengthy valve-turning animation turned these into some of the game's most irritating obstacles, as this is a game built around going fast Usually these vents will kill you if you try to just pass over them, but there's one in the Pirandello-Kruger level which will only cause mild damage, if it hurts you at all, allowing you to entirely skip turning the associated valve. In the iOS version, these kill you faster than getting shot, and appear fairly often in levels that take place indoors. |

In the third level of Viewtiful Joe 2, an air vent serves as an obstacle in a puzzle. There are two settings you can activate. Either can block the path below, or let you ride the wind inside it, depending on which side you come from. | |

StarCraft II features these on a number of multiplayer maps - they do no damage, but serve to break line-of-sight. | |

Metroid: Metroid Prime: Steam vents produce steam that can clog up Samus's visor temporarily. Super Metroid: In the intro level, Samus needs to escape a space station, while avoiding gushes of steam coming out from practically everywhere. If you get hit by the steam, you lose precious time to escape. It happens again during the escape from planet Zebes, only the steam's escaping from the ground itself. |

A puzzle late in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis involves shuffling active leaks in steam pipes. Successfully clearing a path nets Jill the Rocket Launcher. | |

The Messenger (2018) has a level called Music Box. One of the most common obstacles there are pipe outlets that vent out dangerous steam. | |
