You've got some nice puzzles going on!
It gets hard pretty fast, but it's cool that there's never any pressure. :)
I really enjoyed this! As soon as I realized it got challenging rather fast I was hooked. I liked the no rush factor too, that was nice!
I'm in love with the idea. The only source of air is... underwater. It seems ingenious.
As some people already said, the levels get hard very quickly, which I didn't expect at the beginning. This sets it apart from the usual "lay pipes to some place" game. How ever, I personaly find that this difficulty rather comes from sticking all the tiles together in a way that is a pain to disasemble than that the puzzle is realy difficult.
Finished it in 348 actions total, what makes me wonder how many moves one would get in a perfect run. Maybe someone is up for a challege?
Liked it, it got difficult fast for me because I'm terrible at puzzles but I like the action of moving the pipes.
Wow that's a really neat puzzle game. Would have been cool to have a lock on the raster for the pipes while moving them, though this is not at all necessary. Good job man!
Very well thaught out puzzle game. Challenging and fun.
Completed the game in 165 actions!
The game was pretty fun - the fact that the pieces got into each other's way was pretty interesting. There are a bunch of graphical glitches, and no sound (as you mentioned), but this is a solid idea that just needs some more polishing!
I don't normally enjoy puzzle games like this, but the absence of the timer made it way more relaxing. Got difficult quite fast for me, by I still enjoyed it.
Very fun little puzzle game, took me a second to figure out you can move some of the environment. Great work!
Enjoyable little addicting puzzle game, well made and looks nice. Not quite exactly hitting the theme but that's okay.
Fun puzzle game! Wish I coulda heard the sfx, though...probably woulda made it even better :(
144 actions on my first shot.
Really not a fan of such puzzle games but nevertheless well done :-)
Yay, another pipe-game! Although the gameplay in this one is that of a piece-moving puzzle instead of our traditional Pipe Dream approach. Managed to complete it in 223 actions total, but it crashed when I tried to quit it. I usually end up brute forcing my way trough these kind of games instead of taking the time to figure it out. Really enjoyable puzzler though.
Noticed a bug I guess. When I had a square piece in the slot of an L piece I could only select the L piece. Same with any kind of piece in the slot really. Would've also liked it if releasing the piece without moving it didn't count as an action.
I'm not sure if posting this comment was too wise though; now the people playing this might play our game too and hate it, seeing how people have been praising the lack of timer and all that :D!

Interesting take on the whole pipe-game concept. I like the sliding puzzle aspects, having to move the pieces around and manage your space. Pretty fun to play and decent presentation. Good job!
Very interesting premise with the shuffling gameplay combined with the very pipe dream-esque gameplay
Really nice small puzzle game! Finished in 189 actions (about 100 moves for the last puzzle). Good job!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Really cool puzzle game, i love that you have to move some parts of the environment and the pipes, and i especially love that there is no timer making me nervous heh.
