Water enters the board from a source and flows through whatever pipe it finds. You hold a queue of upcoming pieces in fixed orientations; a tap on any empty cell lays the next one. Every pipe the water fills scores; when it meets a wall, an empty cell or a mismatched opening it spills and the level is over. Fill the level's goal before the spill to clear it, pick one of three perks, and face faster water, more rocks and a longer goal.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I rotate a piece?
No. Pieces come in fixed orientations; the route is yours to plan around them.
What is the goal?
The number of pipes the water must fill before it spills. It grows every level, and the water gets faster.
What ends a run?
A spill before the level's goal is met. Clearing a level offers one of three perks.
Where is my progress stored?
Progress, records, unlocks, the saved run and the sound/haptics settings are stored on the device only (UserDefaults and the app's own Application Support folder). Deleting the app deletes them. x3r0soft never receives them. See the Privacy Policy for details.
How do I reset?
Settings → Reset progress clears records, unlocks and any saved run; sound and haptics settings are kept.
