Where's My Pipes
The storyline in this cute little pipe connecting game is quite cute and I think it is one everybody will enjoy. Still, this game lacks a lot to make me give it more stars than 3 (it's ok).
The graphics are great. The music is bright, cheerful, even playful. I really enjoyed it. No voice overs so expect to do some reading.
I was very disappointed when the tutorial stopped after only 2 "hints" because there was a LOT I didn't know about this game. For instance, why are some pipe connections gold? Where is the store? OoooHHHhhhhh! Yeah. I get it! Finally!
There isn't a timer, which is good for me - lol - but you do lose "gold stars" when you don't finish the level before the water turned on. Although, you can still work on the pipes WHILE the water is running. I thought that was great for those who like the game but don't want the stress of trying to beat a timer.
Because of the lack of tutorial or "hint" capability, I would NOT recommend this for beginners. As an intermediate, I had some problems until I figured things out. Experts in this genre of gaming will probably love it.
For all the reasons listed and more, this will not be a purchase for me. I, do, however, recommend it for experts and suggest those less experienced try the demo.
ENJOY!
Overall Impression: I enjoyed the game, for a while, then it lost it's entertainment appeal.
