Jungle Plumber Challenge 3

In Jungle Plumber Challenge 3 you play the king or queen of the plumbers, and the fountains of the jungle need water. Leaks in the pipework stand in the way. Fixing them means rotating the pipe pieces until they join up into a complete water circuit that reaches every one of those fountains.

The developer calls it a plumbing mini game and says it is easy to play. The catch it names is that you are meant to find the quickest and best way of turning the pipes, so the aim is an efficient solution as well as a working one. The story framing is survival: building the network is how you get by in the jungle. Visually, the developer promises cute graphics. Pieces respond to touch, and the board is played in an upright frame.

Touch a pipe piece to rotate it. Work through the board turning pieces until they link into a full water circuit with no gaps, so the water can get to all of the jungle fountains. Repairing the leaks and connecting the pipes amount to the same task: when every piece meets its neighbours, the circuit is whole.

The developer suggests looking for the fastest way to rotate the pipes, not just any way that works. Before touching anything, find the route the circuit must take to reach each fountain, then turn only the pieces on that route. Fewer pointless rotations is the efficiency the game is asking for.

A pipe-rotation puzzle with a jungle theme and a king or queen of the plumbers as the hero. Portrait frame (600 by 800). Pieces turn when touched. The jungle setting carries no stated level total.

Jungle Plumber Challenge 2 shares the setting and lowers a timer with every move you make, while Plumber World has you turn pipes to supply fountains, houses, lakes and pools in a fantasy world.
