Play Pipe Mania Online

Pipe Mania came out in 1989 for MS-DOS, developed by The Assembly Line. It was one of those games that felt right at home on the platform, simple in concept but surprisingly deep in execution. You didn't need a powerful machine or flashy graphics to get hooked; it was all about the puzzle.

You control the placement of pipe segments on a grid, trying to build a continuous path before a flowing substance called Flooz escapes. The main objective is to keep the Flooz contained for as long as possible across increasingly complex levels. Key mechanics include rotating and placing pipe pieces under time pressure, using special tiles like teleporters or cross pipes to extend your route, and managing the Flooz's accelerating speed. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty ramps up quickly, demanding quick thinking and foresight. It feels like a race against your own mistakes, where one wrong turn can unravel everything you've built.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
