About

This game combines the elements of Tetris and Pipe Mania. Pieces of tubes with random channel directions fall from left to right in a cascading movement, to make new row before making another. The player must move and rotate the fallen pieces to connect two colors between the left column and the right one. Any pieces can be rotated, but they can only be moved in empty spaces. If there is a gap in a row, a moving piece will fall into that gap. A connection makes all connected pieces vanish. Each piece that vanishes is worth 10 points. Points are multiplied for each additional row the connection overlaps. Bonus points are awarded for making a connection between two matching colors. The game ends if the area is overflowing with pieces.
