Game overview

Tile rotation challenge

Water Pipe was created for Pixel Game Jam 2024’s “AQUA” theme. Each level presents a grid of pipe tiles in random orientations. Rotate pieces until every segment connects from the source to the drain. Later stages introduce larger grids, time pressure, and tricky shapes that require planning ahead.

Built with Kaboom.js and polished with Kenney’s puzzle assets, the game offers quick pick-up sessions perfect for puzzle fans.

Controls

Simple mouse input

  • Left-click: Rotate a tile clockwise.
  • Right-click: (If available) reverse rotation / additional options.
  • Complete: Connect all pipes to finish the level.

Why play it?

Relaxing yet challenging

  • Bright pixel art and satisfying splash sounds reward each completion.
  • Easy to learn with escalating difficulty for seasoned puzzlers.
  • Open-source on GitHub so you can mod levels or integrate Kaboom.js mechanics.

Tips

Keep water flowing

  • Start from the water source and trace paths outward to avoid dead ends.
  • Look for corner pieces—orient them first to reduce guessing.
  • Use right-click (if implemented) to undo mis-rotations quickly.
