OBJECTIVE
The objective of Wall Pipe is to try to keep the water flowing
as long as possible by placing down pipe links to direct its flow.
GAME PLAY / CLOCK
On the left side of the screen, you will see 4 different shaped
pipes. The mouse cursor will be on top of the bottom pipe.
Clicking the mouse button will make the pipe disappear and the
mouse cursor will then appear on the game board itself. Clicking
the mouse button again, will place that pipe onto the game board.
When the game begins, there is a clock located on the left side
of the screen. At the first level, you will have 40 seconds to
place pipes before the water starts to begin flowing from the
Water Well which is light blue. Once the water has begun to flow,
you can still keep placing pipes down on the game board in order
to keep ahead of the onrushing water.
PLACING PIPES
You may place a pipe anywhere on the game board where there is an
empty space. You can also place a pipe on top of a previously
placed empty pipe, however there will be a time delay of 3 to 4
seconds. This can be really fatal when trying to keep just ahead
of the water flow. If water has already entered a pipe, then you
will be unable to place another pipe at that location.
LEVELS / WALLS
As you move to higher levels, the initial clock timer will have
less and less time before the water starts to flow from the well.
On some levels there are blank brick walls which will prevent you
from placing pipes there. They can either be stationary or will
shift around with each pipe placed.
PIPES & OBJECTS
There are many different types of pipes and objects you can use to
help you keep the water flowing.
WATER WELL: It is from here the water will begin to flow
light blue once the clock timer runs out time.
HOLE: There are sometimes two holes placed on
pink the game board. If you can get the water
to flow into it, then the water will emerge
flowing in the same direction from the other
hole located somewhere else on the board.
DIRECTIONAL: The water must flow in the direction of the
PIPES arrows or else it will be considered a dead end.
BONUS PIPES: Bonus Pipes and Tubs give you extra points if
you can get the water to flow through them.
CROSS PIPES: These cross pipes allow you to loop the water
through itself for extra bonus points. These loops
are essential for getting to higher levels.
SINK: If you see a Sink on the game board, you * MUST *
end the water flow there, or the game will be over
regardless of the points scored. The game will
remind you of that on levels which have a Sink on
them.
SCORING
At the start of each level, the points needed to progress to the
next level is show below the game board. The longer the water
flows through the pipes, more points are scored.
When the water reaches a dead end (no pipe), then the level will
be over. Pipes that were not used, will be eliminated from the
game board. Each unused pipe will cost you 20 points off your
total score. If your total score is equal to or higher then the
points needed to continue, then you will be allowed to proceed
to the next level.
The higher the level, the more points will be needed to keep
advancing to higher levels. (LEVEL * 10) + 200
Every 8000 points will give you a Bonus Round. You cannot lose
any points during the Bonus Round. Unused pipes are not deducted
from your score.
WATER LOOPS
50 Points : Looping Water through itself
400 Points : 4 to 7 Loops made
800 Points : 8 to 11 Loops made
1500 Points : 12 to 15 Loops made
3000 Points : 16 or more Loops made
75 Points : Using the Hole
50 Points : Using the Directional Pipes
BONUS ROUND
A Bonus Round is given for every 8000 points scored.
GAME OVER
The game is over when you do not reach the score needed to advance
to the next level. The program will then see if you qualify for the
Top Ten High Scores. If you do, then you will be asked to enter your
initials onto the scoreboard and your score will be recorded.
