Click on a pipe that is already in the world to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.

Click on a pipe on the sidebar, then click on the world somewhere to place that pipe there.

press the green play button to start a level

press the purple undo button to undo your last change

While the water is running, press the red cancel button to stop the water and go back to editing.

While the water is running, hold down the blue fast forward button to speed up the water.

Really liked it. Nice concept, although the one move constraint was a little heavy on it's potential and it ended up being 'click the right thing'. Still really nice entry :)

Good idea for a puzzle game, unfortunately way to short! (Also the puzzles were too easy, and the one piece constraint made the levels too simplistic). Now that you got all the nice mechanics going you should go an do more and harder levels (without the constraint).

Personally I also thought that the water flow was way to slow.

Some sound, and a few more (harder) levels would have been nice.

It's a nice game but misses some more levels and more dificulty.

Really, it's very short.

Pump is not powerful enough;)

It's hard to get tough puzzle when you have only one turn, so probably some additional mechanics would help to solve it, but anyway, nice idea and good implementation, imho.

The core mechanics are nice. It could be turned into a nice little game, ideal even for ipads etc. Take a look at Ri Li https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75QjI6URj6I and see how it parallels this.

Lifting the one move restriction, allowing the laying of multiple pipes, making the water run immediately so the user is under time pressure to find a solution, making the water leak out of open ends, and so on could make a very nice little puzzle game, and with nice artwork could really be a polished little piece.

Cool idea. Definitely too easy.

Cool idea. It's a little strange to require keyboard input to advance the level but mouse input for everything else.
