You are the cultivator of this relaxed zen garden. Close the divide and link the water source to the plants. Focus, relax, and allow your garden to grow. The gardening process is easily an endless loop of satisfaction, seed, water, grow and repeat. Pipes aims to replicate this relaxation experience. You just need to tap the pipe to rotate it and manage to direct the water flow across all the pipes. Make sure to reach the whole garden, every water source should feed into at least one plant, as to use water in the most efficient ways possible. Water waste isn’t the only issue here; you also don’t want to drain your moves because the garden is fragile and as such, we can’t endlessly rotate the pipe system, as such you have limited moves to install the perfect irrigation system to allow your zen garden to thrive. Do this perfectly and your zen garden will soar and receive the best qualification. Pipes is part of the famous Infinity Loop franchise. This calm, minimalist, and intelligent game will help you deal with anxiety and OCD, just as gardening would. Once you tap the first pipe, you will boost your concentration and reduce any symptoms of anxiety or OCD. Achieve a full relaxation experience in your own personal zen garden. Try to connect as many pipes as many times as you can and recharge your soul with positive ideas. Nurture your mind as if it is your own garden. Features: Simple gameplay: Just tap the pipes to rotate and create irrigation loops. The water will flow through as you create links to their final destinations. Relaxing: Players with OCD issues mention this game as a great way to get better. Pipes gameplay is very calm – “just tap the pipe” – and a couple of levels per day are enough to fight OCD and anxiety issues. It’s like your personal zen garden. Smart brain-teasers: Pipes features endless minimalist brain-teasers that will boost your logic skills, relax your soul and improve your concentration. Grow your logical skills. Classic game: Highly compared with other logic games due to its simplicity, Pipes is very satisfying and will cultivate the creative side of your brain. Play everywhere: You will take less than 20 seconds to irrigate a garden. That’s perfect to play on the bus or while you wait for your flight at the airport. Start playing and relax wherever you are. Concept and Development: Hezartoo and Infinity Games.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pipes at Free against SEQ's $1.99. SEQ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (94% vs 63%). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Pipes is free to download; SEQ costs $1.99 up front. SEQ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pipes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pipes holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SEQ has 2.6K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of SEQ's written reviews are positive against 63% of Pipes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SEQ ships an update every 6 weeks, Pipes every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
