How it feels

A calm, methodical puzzle experience where you carefully piece together pipes against a steady, unhurried trickle of ooze rather than any real sense of danger.

About

Pipe Dreams 3D is a three-dimensional remake of the classic puzzle game Pipe Dream. This remake/revision includes characters, different continents, new obstacles, and a story-driven mode. This puzzle game presents the player with an isometric perspective on a tiled game board and the objective of building a network of piping that will transport a slow but unending flow of creepy green ooze safely to a small plug hole. The strategic challenge comes in using the limited space and available pipe pieces to create a conduit that will take the ever-flowing ooze where it needs to be. As the player progresses through the game's 18 levels, additional barriers and obstacles compound the challenge.
