Pipe Dream

Pipe Dream

In each level of this abstract puzzle game, the player must build a network of pipes through which an unspecified substance called "Flooz" can flow, and as many as possible. The tiles are offered in random order, and there are seven different types - straight lines that run horizontally or vertically, corners that turn in any of the four directions, and crossover pieces that transport the Flooz straight horizontally and vertically. Each of these spaces can be entered from either side. When the Flooz hits a gap or a piece that the previous piece can't flow into, the pipe is finished. Before the Flooz starts flowing from its randomly chosen starting position, the player has a few seconds to place tiles. They can be placed anywhere. However, it often happens that a long and complex pipe system is built, but somewhere there is still a gap to be filled. Players can replace one piece with another on the same field (to facilitate the flow), but they will have to accept a small point deduction.
