### 5/5 — Pipe jewels is a Nice game

*2022-06-22*

Fun and easy I play it almost daily. Good for kids to develop logical thinking

### 5/5 — Good stuff!

*2022-04-11, version 1.18*

This game is simple, fun, the ads aren’t intrusive, and honestly it really scratches that itch I’ve had since playing Pipe Dream many years ago :) it’s a little different in concept from that, but a genuinely fun and rewarding puzzle game - just give it a few goes on the easier ones before you jump into the 13 x 13 ;)

### 5/5 — Pipes for free

*2021-07-16*

It plays smoothly and easily. Endless pipes. I couldn’t be happier with this game!

### 5/5 — Very calming but addictive!

*2021-05-18, version 1.16*

No time limits, no bling, no repetitive background music. Just calm and rewarding sounds and pretty colours but still challenging enough for a puzzle guru. Love it! Very helpful tech support.

### 5/5 — Pipe Jewels

*2021-05-03*

So simple but makes you look and think.  Good for anyone that wants to pay attention but not stress out.  I Play every day.

### 5/5 — Incredible game!

*2020-07-30*

This game is very relaxing and fun to play. It has several difficulties for different levels of challenge. I love everything about it. Great game for waiting in line/on car trips. I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Pipeline

*2020-07-14*

Good challenging game..

### 5/5 — Finally, a good pipe game!!!

*2020-06-08*

I love many things about this app- one of the biggest ones being there are no obnoxious full-screen ads. Most games I play on my phone end up having ads after every level- the 30+ second ones you can’t skip. But this app doesn’t have those! It’s so amazing! There’s also great variety in difficulties you can play. There’s 5 different options for difficulties, so this app has great options depending on how challenged you want to be when playing. There’s also no unnecessary elements in this app like timers or anything- you can just play whenever. I’m SO pleased with this app!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ads!

*2019-03-11, version 1.14*

This is a 5 star game that plummets to 1 star because of the ads. I would gladly pay to get rid of them, but there is no option to buy. I guess this developer considers ‘advertisement torture’ part of the game.

### 2/5 — Contstanly not working

*2017-08-20, version 1.10*

Does not work all the time lately

### 3/5 — needs a few improvements

*2026-02-06, version 1.28*

nostalgic as i used to play the google pipe dream game. a few improvements would be great:
- cleaner UI
- paid no-ads version
- ability to reset puzzles
- higher difficulty levels (yes more than 21x21!)

### 3/5 — Meh

*2024-07-27, version 1.21*

Simple

### 3/5 — Need update with OS 15.0.2

*2021-10-21, version 1.17*

Hello there

I like this but recently after a lot playing and before getting the middle and passing it to the end , the game outbreaks.

So l think reviewing this by code man is necessary.

Good for you that keep this game alive ,  I hope it continues.
By now .

### 4/5 — Thinker

*2021-02-02, version 1.16*

Enjoying it very much. Makes you plan a few moves ahead

### 4/5 — Easy and fun

*2018-01-05*

I have to say I appreciate you Boy Howdy. You furnish games that are fun, easy, and free.  That's important to people on fixed incomes. This particular game is one that I especially like because moving thee pipes to reach a goal is very enjoyable.

### 4/5 — I like this!

*2017-11-03*

Interesting game, I like the pipes.
There used to be a similar card game; this is good for exercising the gray matter in the brain.
Love your games!
Thank you!

### 4/5 — Simple, challenging

*2017-05-05, version 1.9*

Simple concept, challenging levels.

### 4/5 — Fun and engaging game

*2016-02-01, version 1.0*

Like all BoyHowdy games there's no timers or stress just you trying to work out the puzzle. Again, easy to learn a bit trickier to master but hours of puzzling in between. I've cracked the crazy hard ones several times and quietly pleased with myself.

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2025-04-03*

I thought it was easy till 12 x12. Wow

### 5/5 — Yea!

*2025-02-28*

Great game . With all the different levels you can move up or back down depending on your mood. Just something to do in just a couple of minutes or longer if you try expert. Try it! It’s free too, another bonus.

### 5/5 — Stress relieving

*2024-11-28, version 1.23*

I have 49 hours on this game, am addicted :))

### 5/5 — nice ! no annoying pop up ads

*2024-09-28*

nice game to work my brains and to kill time. yes there are ads but they are on the bottom of the screen and don't pop up and not intrusive at all.

### 5/5 — Fantastic puzzle game

*2024-02-22*

Starts incredibly easy, & you get to pick the difficulty as you get better. Hoping the creators make an even harder level - call it ‘Insane’! lol
Good stuff

### 5/5 — The Fun Keeps Flowing

*2023-11-12*

Despite being oddly named, Pipe Jewels (whatever that means) is a lot of fun and keeps the mind active. Multiple levels are available and you can access them all at any time. No need to complete one level to get to the next. You can even choose an easier level even if you’ve been playing a more advanced one.    
   Love that it never interrupts play with annoying ads. The only ad that actively runs is at the bottom of the screen. Even this one can be turned off in Settings. The downside to that is, you can no longer load the High Scores screen to see your standings. You’ll have to go back to Settings and reactivate the ad bar to allow that feature.
    Short of being a somewhat addictive, the only thing that’s a little annoying is that it drops your High Score position from the different levels lists if you don’t play it continuously. 
   However, your position(s) will reappear once you complete a game in a particular level. You just need to play each level once to see your current standing in that level. 
   Other than that, the fun keeps flowing!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2023-06-20, version 1.19*

I ❤️❤️❤️ this game! Unlike most games, this game is relaxing, fun, and NOT filled with 30-second ads you’re forced to watch every 2 minutes. There are NO time-wasting stupid rewards schemes.

### 5/5 — Good game
