Vital Pipes

Vital Pipes

In the game Vital Pipes, you see a screen with a lot of pipe pieces scattered around. The pieces are all jumbled and facing the wrong way. On one side, there is a valve where the water starts. On another side, there is an opening where the water needs to go. Your job is to fix the pipeline so the water can flow through.

You cannot move the pipes to different spots, but you can turn them. When you click on a pipe piece, it rotates in its place. You will see straight pipes and bent pipes that act like corners. You have to click on each piece and spin it until it connects properly to the pipe next to it. You keep turning the pieces one by one until you have built a single, long pipeline from the start to the finish.

You complete a level when you have made an unbroken path. Once all the pipes are connected correctly, you will see water rush through them from one end to the other. Many levels have a timer, so you have to think fast and fix the pipes before you run out of time. The game presents you with bigger and more confusing pipe puzzles as you get better.
