The townsfolk in Pippa's hometown are counting on her to fix their pipes and in PipeRush you'll help her to speed through the process of not only connecting every house but also making sure the pipes water tight.
Right from the get-go you'll notice that PipeRush is, for all intents and purposes, a puzzle variant of games like Pipe Mania. Pipes will be generated randomly, filling up your conveyor belt and you'll need to drag the pieces in to place to ensure that everything is connected and water tight. Pieces you don't require can be fed back in to the machine to be 'recycled', freeing up space temporarily, but you'll need to make use of other bonuses like dynamite and 'pipe drops' to speed things along as quickly as possible. Players can drag these pieces and bonuses on to the field directly and a rotate button also allows you to turn them around, though this can be a bit awkward when placing pieces in the bottom left corner.
The graphics are typical for a Clickgamer.com title, so players can expect nice clean and easy to follow visuals including indicators to help identify leaks you've left in the pipes. Additional hazards including earthquakes and aliens also add a few complications to prevent the game feeling too repetitive.
There are only 15 levels currently in the game, but each level can take some time to finish, especially if you don't save up some of those special abilities. Still, PipeRush is a fun puzzle title and an easy one to pick up and enjoy for any puzzle fan.
Description
The townsfolk are thirsty! Help Pippa connect the water pipes to the houses, but Pippa needs to hurry if she wants to restore the water supply before it’s too late. In this frenetic puzzle game, connect Pippa’s collection of pipes into a working water system before her pipe-making machine explodes!
PICK THE BEST PIPES
With 15 varieties of pipe across 15 varied and challenging levels, you’ll have to think hard and move fast in order to keep ahead of the water supply! Connect the available pipes in the optimum configuration to keep all the houses supplied without letting any water escape from open pipe endings. Use the easy controls to spin the pieces into the best orientation and destroy the ones you no longer need.
WATCH OUT FOR NASTY SUPRISES
Make sure the conveyor belt producing the pipes does not fill up, or the machine will explode! At the same time, make sure you’re sending water to all of the houses in town before it’s too late. Not hard enough? – Well, Pippa’s difficult day just got even worse, because some very thirsty aliens have sent down UFOs to beam away her pipes as she lays them... so you’ll need to counter their attacks and restore the water flow while keeping ahead of the clock!
PIPPA’S POWERS
Luckily, Pippa’s got a few tricks in her utility belt. Feed spare pipes back into the machine, remove unwanted pipes from the ground with Dynamite, and play special pipes to activate power-ups! Use Magic pipe pieces that let you select any kind of segment you wish at the stroke of a finger. And when you’re in a tight spot and low on time, use Parachutes to drop in the right piece. Be careful though – with aliens, earthquakes and waves of fog to battle, you’ll have to keep your wits about you!
GO WITH THE FLOW
When you’ve mastered the basic gameplay, try using the minimum number of pipes as quickly as possible to score the top Star Rating for each area. Earn 20 Achievements, and compete for the best scores on the fully-integrated Crystal leaderboards! Pipe Rush is an addictive, satisfying puzzler with frantic gameplay and a great setting. So break out your pipe wrench and get ready for a flood of fun gameplay!
