Great game! It was kind of difficult though. The art style reminded me of to good old days of flash games, so it’s an automatic 9/10 for me!

The most innovative idea I have seen so far! And very fun too! Nice job :thumbsup:

I liked that you can't cheese it by blocking it's path ^^

Fun puzzle game! I like how you force the player to make difficult decisions about what pieces to buy under time pressure, it makes for some fun situations when everything starts to go wrong.

That was really enjoyable. I wish I had the ability to make more money so I could skip more and place better pipes -- it was frustrating to have that control taken away. But it was a lot of fun!

I think the basic concept was solid but the game didn't click well. Choices didn't feel very interesting to me, though maybe if the game was faster paced that could have worked better. Sound effects would probably have gone a long way to making the interactions feel nicer, even a simple "clicking into place" noise.

Worked and is a complete game in theme though!

Nice twist on the ancient game called Pipe Dream. I liked the pressure of not being able to build ahead too far, but even then it was quite easy to fill the entire map after the first dozen or so tiles. Still, nice solid entry, good job!

This brought me back in time a bit :) Fun re-implementation of a classic. I think it fits very well with the theme, too. Clearly delaying the inevitable with each placement.

That's an interesting twist on a classic idea, well done!

That was a pretty neat idea, I liked it. It was difficult at first to figure out what to do but I did finally start getting the lava flow in the pipes to avoid the houses.

The idea is presented qualitatively and thought out. Not just some tap water that needs to be kept in pipes, but a much more interesting variation that becomes interesting to play. But in the game, I got confused about what the hell happened to the lava sometimes when it started to generate over all the surrounding tiles. And the game is so cool

>But in the game, I got confused about what the hell happened to the lava sometimes when it started to generate over all the surrounding tiles Yeah, it's not presented well due to limited graphics unfortunately, but the idea when the lava 'explodes' in the surrounding tiles is that you routed the lava back onto itself and it caused all filled pipes to 'overflow' in all directions.

Thanks for playing!

i liked it alot! i managed to evacuate 1289 people :) i think the movement of the lava and the prices of the tiles are well balanced: i had to think two or three steps ahead to get into the higher scores.

had a lot of fun here. the flow diversion mechanic is great. i spent many rounds trying to improve but this was the best i could do best.png

Interesting mechanics with lava overflow. A bit confusing at first, but I think I manage to get a hang of what is happening. It was fun to try it out :)
