About

Pipewick

Read full description

Drag your finger, build a pipeline, and watch the liquid rush through. Pipewick is a cozy little plumbing machine in your pocket. Pick up a pipe mouth, drag a path across the grid, and connect it to the outlet of the same color. Ordinary corners form automatically as you draw; special rotating joints that appear later are turned with a tap. When the last color clicks into place, the whole board floods at once. 1,000 VERIFIED LEVELS 100 chapters, 10 levels each. Every board is built solution-first. Every bundled board is checked by the game's solver. MECHANICS THAT KEEP GROWING Start with simple two-color boards, then meet tap-to-rotate joints, color valves that automatically open only for a matching pipe passing straight through, bridges where two straight pipes can cross, and one-way segments governed by the real source-to-target flow. Each one arrives with a single card, not a wall of text. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The daily puzzle is the same board for everyone, with a streak to keep alive. BUILT TO FEEL GOOD Tick-tick-tick as the pipe grows, a click at every corner, a snap at the outlet, then the flow. Sound and haptics stay in sync, because that is where the pleasure lives. PLAY ANYWHERE No account or sign-in. The full campaign works offline; an internet connection is only needed for store and ad features. Your progress stays on your device. HINTS WHEN YOU ARE STUCK Smart hints analyze your current board, preview a remaining route as a ghost pipe, and can roll back only the blocking sections when your drawing creates a dead end. You start with free hints, earn more with an optional rewarded video, or buy a pack. Pipewick PRO removes automatic ads. You can still choose a rewarded video to earn 1 hint. Free to play. Portrait only. Made for one hand.
