If you enjoyed Plumber, you will love Plumber 2. With this addictive puzzle game, children and adults alike will be faced with amazing challenges. The concept of the game is pretty straightforward: turn the pipes strategically to let the water flow from one side to the other. In this new version, we added a few twists. In the challenge mode, your goal will be to capture as many creatures as possible. They are stuck in the pipes and it's your job to capture them as the water flows through. Managing to solve one level is an accomplishment. But solving a level while capturing all the creatures is an other. In the Arcade mode, your job will be to keep on destroying pipes by letting water flow through as much as possible within the current time constraints. As you become a master at it, more bonuses will come your way. The game is packed with over 1,000 levels. Are you ready to Jump in? Download Plumber 2 today and make sure it never overflows...

Drifting somewhere between the stars, a broken station is waiting for its pipelines to be repaired. Tap a pipe, turn it, and keep turning until the whole route runs unbroken from the source to the goal. Space Pipes is a calm connect-the-pipes puzzle. No timer counts down. No move limit punishes you. Nothing flashes to hurry you along. You look at the board, think, and turn pipes until the path clicks into place and energy flows through it. SIMPLE TO PICK UP Tap any pipe to rotate it a quarter turn. Line up the segments so every piece joins into a single unbroken route. That's the whole rulebook — the puzzles do the rest. 120 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Three level packs, 40 levels each, built to grow with you. The first boards teach you to read a route in seconds. The later ones will have you staring at a grid of fixed pipes and dead ends, quietly working out the one arrangement that actually connects. MADE TO BE RELAXING A deep-space backdrop, soft ambient music and a satisfying sound as each pipe snaps into position. Turn the sound off with one tap when you'd rather play in silence. It's a puzzle for a commute, a coffee break, or the last ten minutes before sleep. PLAYS ANYWHERE, OFFLINE No account, no sign-in, no internet needed. Flights, subways, the countryside, that one dead spot in your apartment — the puzzles work everywhere. Your progress is saved on your device automatically, level by level. NO PRESSURE Every level can be solved by thinking. There are no energy bars and no lives to wait for. Stuck on a tricky board? Tap the hint button and one pipe snaps into its right place.
