Brookside is a garden where the water has stopped flowing. Rotate the pipes, guide each stream to its outlet, collect flowers along the way, and bring the gardens back to life. Garden Pipes Explore five gardens with fifteen levels each. Turn bends, junctions and crossings to build the right route and reach every outlet. Flowers and Three Stars The shortest path is not always the best. Guide water to healthy flowers while keeping wilted ones dry to earn a perfect three-star result. Repair Run Water starts flowing after five seconds, and each pipe locks once the stream passes through. Plan ahead and react quickly. Two Streams Guide two separate streams to their own outlets without letting them touch. Endless and Daily Play continuously generated puzzles or complete one fresh Daily Puzzle each day. The Plumbers Meet Fen the Frog, Muffin the Bunny, Pip the Otter, Wren the Swift and Dusty the Mole as you complete each garden.
