So...anyone have instructions?

[Goochman]

You need to construct pipes to funnel the water to the end point

Thanks.

Do you get more points for longer pipes? For connecting faster? What if you connect to the end point but there is a branch that is open?

[Goochman]

I havent played it recently - I think faster is better

[_Fandal_]

The first try: 5143.

Ok - I tried playing and cant remember how to place the pieces - pressing the button and pushing up gets you to the pipe selection screen - what do you need to hit to place a pipe on the screen?

[vdub_bobby]

I goofed around with it and figured out (I think) the controls:

Button+Up gets you to the pipe-selection window.
While there, L/R chooses a pipe, Button+L/R rotates a pipe, and Down gets you to the pipe-placing window.
While there, L/R/U/D moves the cursor and Button+R places a pipe, Button+L erases a pipe, and Button+D opens/closes the faucet.

930 for a first score. Controls are a bit awkward, but a pretty fun game.

Never heard of this one.

[Goochman]

I ran across this making a 'megaimage' and it really stuck with me - Ive been trying to get this into HSC since day 1

though Ive had no time to play

[vdub_bobby]

It is a fun game, with reasonably well-designed levels.

The controls are incredibly awkward, though, and the game could really use a radar. Scrolling around trying to find all the barrels while you're on the clock isn't that fun, especially since the game doesn't support 8-way scrolling - only 4-way.

[Goochman]

296 - For some reason my fire button wouldnt register in the emu leading to a super frustrating round...........My thumb is kiing me

[Goochman]

933 - Still having button issues.

I got to level 5 - For those that got 4K am I missing out on some bonus?

I don't think so - I think the scoring goes: 1 pt per 1% of each barrel filled + time remaining when all barrels are filled.

I got to level...14 or so when I got 5K+. I think it maxes at about 12 barrels per level

[Trooper]

Can one still get in on the action?

I'll add my score anyway and if it's a closed contest just ignore me

2618, it gets really hard after level 8!

ends this friday so your safe

I'm currently in level 45 but I'm running out of time for playing so I'm sending actual score: 24,380.

F.

P.S. Higher levels are pretty easy to play because of a lot of time.
