I had a lot of fun with this one! The assets were all very well done. It seemed like I had unlimited pipe pieces, but maybe I just didn't run them out to the end. I'm looking forward to more challenging levels.
Nice game, I enjoyed the puzzles, would love them more difficult but the concept works, I had a couple issues with the game. For example I completed the first level without connecting anything and it wasn't clear if I have to connect all the outputs of the pipe. in some puzzles worked without connecting any, in some others worked but was leaking from there and I got the puzzle done anyway. That part was a little confusing but the game overall worked fine and I manage to complete it. The pipes interface was a nice touch. I loved it ;). Well done!
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the puzzles and the pipe inventory system. The issues you mentioned with level completion and leaks are definitely things we need to fix. We'll also be looking into making the objectives clearer and adding more challenging puzzles in future updates. Thanks again for taking the time to play and leaving a review! 😊
Fun game! I wish i could have completed it but it kept taking away my ability to rotate. Great adherence to the theme of the jam.
Thanks for playing and for the kind words! I'm sorry you ran into the rotation bug, that definitely wasn't intended and I'll be looking into it. Glad you still enjoyed the concept and theme implementation despite the issue! 😊
Really nice puzzle game, good job! Would love to see some more complex levels
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. More complex levels and mechanics are definitely something I'd love to expand on in future updates. Thanks for playing! 😊
Great game, very relaxing to play. Remind me of a mobile game that I used to play a lot. haha
Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you found it relaxing to play. It's always nice to hear when the game brings back memories of a favorite game. Thanks for giving it a try!
great game, I love pipe dream!
Thank you! Pipe Dream was definitely a big inspiration, so I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This is quite relaxing - much more so than the water puzzle on bioshock where the timer is against you. It was intuitive enough to figure out how to play without much effort. The rat mini game did feel somewhat out of place with the rest of the puzzle.
Thank you! I'm glad you found the gameplay relaxing and easy to pick up. That's exactly the experience I was aiming for. I also appreciate the feedback about the rat mini-game, it was an experimental addition, and I can definitely see how it feels disconnected from the core pipe puzzle gameplay.
I really enjoyed playing it, it reminds me of that one alligator mobile game, Where Is My Water?, I think it's called.
Thank you! 😊 That's actually a huge compliment because *Where's My Water?* was one of the main aesthetic and gameplay references for Flow State. I'm glad that inspiration came through while still feeling enjoyable to play!
Cool Puzzle game! I wish I could have selected the pipes once and kept placing them instead of grabbing a new one every time.
Thanks for playing! That's actually a really good suggestion, being able to keep a pipe selected for multiple placements would definitely make the workflow smoother. I'll keep that in mind for future improvements! 😊
Relaxing puzzle game with a nice art style. In third level the water kept building up in the pipe even though I thought I connected everything right. Not sure if bug or my mistake. The minigame felt a bit unnecessary . But I enjoyed the game.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! The issue on Level 3 may have been a bug, as a few players have reported similar validation problems, so I'll definitely be looking into it. I also appreciate your thoughts on the mini-game, We unfortunally didn't have enough time so we couldn't work much on it
Cool puzzle game.
Thank you!
Fun little puzzle game! Nice artwork.
Though the way it has you ritualistically kill the mice has me feeling slightly concerned. I get that it is trying capture some of the mechanics you see in a lot of the clickbait mobile ads but to jigsaw the little guys like that seems a bit much.
Thank you! 😆 I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzles and artwork. The mouse mini-game was definitely inspired by those over-the-top mobile ads, but I can see how it ended up being a little more brutal than intended. I'll keep that in mind for future iterations!
I like it! Overall great.
The mice could be expanded on to be like one of those mobile games; as it stands they're just an extra step.
nice little puzzle game. That you have to kill the mice, wasn’t really necessary in my opinion, but the puzzles it self were interesting.
Cool Puzzle Game. Not sure if this was intentional, but in both Level 1 and Level 2, you can clear the stage without placing anything.
Very cool puzzle game. I really liked figuring out which pipes should go where. Great job!
