Great game!
I humbly suggest that you flesh out the rules just a bit more. I struggled to figure out if pipes were allowed to run out of bounds, whether they all had to be connected into a single network, and the significance of the bulb-ended ones. I'm not totally dense and could make some guesses, but this still made the puzzle less than approachable for me at first. Basically I just guessed at these things, tried to see if I could solve one, and once I did and saw my complete solution all was clear. But why not state these things up front? Or maybe that's part of the puzzle? :-)
My first solve took 9min, then 3, then 1.5min for my third.
- seanalltogether 4y agoThis was exactly the same for me. I wasn't sure if all pipes had to be water tight or not. Once I understood what the actual constraints were I could solve the next ones quicker.
- gereleth 4y agoFair enough, I'll think how to word all this.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoa pic of a before and after puzzle would answer these questions intuitively as well.
- mdavis6890 4y ago- All sections must be connected into a single, contiguous network. - The whole network is contained in the grid, and no pipes may run outside the grid. - Bulb-shaped pipes with a single connection are terminations (dead-ends).
- mdavis6890 4y agoI'll agree with other commenters that actually just showing a complete solution is better. Or both!
- JelteF 4y agoI think simply having an image of what a solved network looks like would help a lot.
- Bootvis 4y agoAgreed, I didn’t bother reading the rules and just started clicking. I doubt I would read the rules even if they were written perfectly.
- jonny_eh 4y agoThose kinds of edge cases can be easily overlooked by people that play a lot of these types of puzzle games. Great feedback.
