What players say

Players describe a polished puzzle game about routing liquids through increasingly complex machinery. It takes about 12 hours and offers procedural puzzles after the campaign. The isometric view and animations are praised, and while a controller is recommended, keyboard and mouse work fine with some tweaks.
