Pipe Mania for Nintendo DS is a puzzle game where players lay down a set of pipes on a grid-based board to create an unbroken pathway for flooze — a colorful, gooey substance — to flow through before time runs out. As levels progress, the game introduces obstacles, multiple flooze sources, and various types of pipes, adding complexity and challenging players' foresight and spatial reasoning. The goal is to position the pipes effectively, earn high scores, and progress through increasingly difficult stages. It's a revival of the classic pipe-connecting game concept, adapted for handheld gaming with touchscreen controls.
