Goal
Connect all pipes into a single network from the central source.
How to Play
- Tap a pipe tile to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise
- The source and locked tiles cannot be rotated
- Connect all pipes into one network to clear!
Align Pipe Openings
Adjacent pipes must have their openings facing each other for water to flow. A pipe facing a wall is an error.
Connect All Pipes
Starting from the source, all pipes must be connected without gaps. No pipe should be left disconnected.
Completed Example
- Tap a pipe tile to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.
- All pipes must be connected to the source at the center.
- No pipe should have an open end facing a wall or empty space.
Tip
- Start with end tiles on the edges — their direction is easiest to determine
- Work outward from the source to lock in pipe directions
- Fix L-shaped pipes first — they constrain their neighbors automatically
