Pipe V ~ Pipemania (Asia, Australia) (Unl)

In Pipe V ~ Pipemania, players are challenged with quick thinking and reflexes in a unique puzzle game. The main objective is to construct a continuous pipeline for a flowing substance (typically water or another liquid) to travel from a starting point to an end point, or simply to maintain the flow for as long as possible without it overflowing.

The game board is presented as a grid. At the beginning of each level, a starting point for the flow will be displayed. The flow will begin moving after a short delay or immediately, depending on the level. Players are randomly provided with various pipe pieces of different shapes and and orientations (e.g., straight pipes, L-shaped corner pipes, T-junctions, etc.) at the top or side of the screen.

Your task is to select and place these pipe pieces onto the grid to create a seamless path before the flow reaches an empty or blocked tile. If the flow reaches a tile without a pipe or a blocked pipe, the game ends. Some pipe pieces might be "leaky" or "broken," leading to score deductions or increased difficulty. Players need to make rapid decisions, as time is a critical factor.

As the flow successfully navigates through correctly placed pipe segments, players earn points. The goal is to achieve the highest score possible or complete specific levels. Difficulty progressively increases through the stages, with faster flow speeds, a greater variety of pipe pieces, and new obstacles appearing. Pipe V ~ Pipemania demands high concentration and real-time strategic planning.
