Game Review (written by Eric) Added on: 01/09/2008
Pipe Dreams is a little known game that is amazingly addictive. You’ll have so much fun playing this game that you won’t notice how much time has passed since you logged on to your PC. This game is so simple yet it can provide you and your whole family with countless hours of gaming fun.
The game is the story of a plumber who is trying to lay down pipes in order to contain a green liquid from leaking out. You must lay down the pipes to create a continuous stream. The screen is filled with grids and the pipes can be laid down on the grids. You have to work really fast so that you can contain the green liquid that will flow through the pipes. The green liquid will be released when the counter on the right side of the screen shows that time is up.
The controls are very easy to learn and manage, you will be using the arrow keys to set the direction of the pipe. All you need to do is set the directions of the pipe and lay down the pipe pretty quickly especially in the more difficult levels.
The game may seem easy but it can get pretty challenging in the more difficult rounds. This is a great game to play when you have other people watching you and insisting they can do a better job than you! Then you can either show them off or go deaf when they taunt you when you have failed miserably in laying down the pipes.
A round ends when you no longer have room to lay down the pipes and the green liquid streams out of the pipes. If you successfully contain the liquid in the relief pipes and do not leave too many pipes wasted on the screen then you can advance on to the next level. As the game progresses, you will need to lay down pipes faster.
The graphics is dated but during the time of its release it wasn’t bad at all. The sound effects though score better than the graphics as the sound of pipes blowing up and the sound of liquid starting to flow through the pipes can cause you to get excited.
You can also compete against another player in the game which totally adds to the fun of the game. This game is great for the whole family and is definitely worth downloading. You will spend many hours playing this game non-stop!
