Pipelinks

[b]5/10[/b] Sokoban with sticky pipes, a good idea but not a good enough implementation. [b]What is it:[/b] A kind of sokoban / pathfinder in which you control a group (or sometimes more) of connected pipes. You usually start with just one piece with eyes, with other non-sentient pipe pieces spread across the level. Each piece can have between 1 and 4 pipe ends, and when two pieces come in contact both with pipe ends, they stick together. Each pipe piece has a color, and the goal in every level is to get a pipe of the right color on top of each target square. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3382831216 More mechanics are introduced, like flat edges that can push other pieces, boxes that can be pushed, locked gates that require collecting all the keys before they disappear, tiles that destroy everything that gets on top of them, tiles that can change the color of pipes, moving rockets, and a few others. Having a new mechanic every 8-10 levels keeps the game fresh, at least in theory. I had high hopes for this, seeing that it’s quite new, following in the footsteps of [i]Jelly is Sticky[/i] and [i]Yugo Puzzle[/i], but I was very disappointed. First, I feel …

This game has been a delight to play, the little pipelinks are adorable and give so much life to the game. The amount of excitement/pride I get whenever I beat a level I was struggling on was probably way too much! At first I thought the game was going to be really short (especially with how simple to starting levels feel) but I've been pleasantly surprised! I'm currently done with about 15 of the 100-ish levels and am really excited to see the new features the next worlds add! The one thing I don't love is that its pretty easy to skip over the control keys (such as "z" being a undo-the-last-move-you-made button) but maybe I'm just unobservant... In all seriousness this game is a lot of fun and at a really good price too, highly reccommended :D
