About

Pipe Burst

Features
Read full description

The flooz doesn't wait. Pipe Burst is an endless arcade of pipe-laying panic. Random pipe pieces land in your queue — you place them, one by one, wherever you can. When the countdown hits zero, the flooz starts flowing. It never stops, it never slows down for you, and it will pour out of any open end you failed to close. Build ahead of it or drown in it. THE SEWERS — route the flooz from the inlet to the tank. Reach it and the whole board FLUSHES for a bonus that grows every level, the level number ticks up, and the map rerolls: new inlet, new tank, new broken brickwork, faster flow. Every level is a fresh puzzle at a worse speed. LAUNCH fires the flooz home at 8× — even during the countdown — and every pipe you lay under fire that the flooz then uses pays extra. Route through the ×2 square to double the level's bonus; every pipe the flooz never touched costs you at the flush. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE. THE QUEUE IS NOT. - You never choose your next piece — a random queue forces you to improvise - Replace a laid pipe in an emergency — but wrenches are strictly rationed - Pop drifting bubbles for perks... if you dare tap over a live board - Cross-pipes score big when the flooz runs through both ways - The longer you survive, the faster it flows Every run ends one way: a SURVIVAL REPORT and a score. Beat your best, then take on the world on the all-time and weekly leaderboards. THE DAILY SHIFT — three new boards every day, the same for everyone: EASY 6×6, MEDIUM 7×7 and HARD 8×8. Each deals one exact run of pipes, you get one run at each, and every size keeps its own streak. Free to play. A single one-time Premium upgrade removes all ads and puts your name on the leaderboard — no subscriptions, no pay-to-win, no buying your way out of the flooz. Inspired by the classic pipe-laying arcade games of the late '80s, rebuilt as a modern endless score-chaser. Industrial grime, glowing green sludge, and the sweetest sound in the world: a full board flushing clean.
