Hi there. Good looking 'boring job' simulator. Like the sounds and visuals, ticket printer and sfx for that. Could not work out how to connect a pipe to anything, so couldn't complete even task one. I think that needs explaining - unless that frustration is supposed to be the point! Good job on the simulation.

Looks nice, but as others have said, I didn't really understand what I needed to do.

Is there a limit on the number of parts you can ask for?

If you had more time it could of done with a little tutorial section at the beginning.

Shame it's glitchy when placing the parts as this is has real promise. Often the right-angle pipes will continually go on the wrong way.

This is a fun idea. I like how the workplace is flooded with water if you aren't fast enough. However I encountered some buggy behavior with attaching pipes - maybe some way to rotate the pieces would help?

Don't get me wrong idea is cool, but the game is too buggy especialy pipes connecting, but I post-compo with fixes would be cool.

You can throw a hammer off the screen (not nice). I was able to break A62 with the hammer, also went off screen. Needs work to be playable. Good job otherwise!

I like that kind of "Papers Please" approach of your game. :)

Hey ! Junior Pipe Artisan here ! I really really enjoyed the Papers Please! vibe from this game. The ambiance is very nice.

However, attaching the pipes was quite buggy. The only Time I managed to have a success I had attached the pipe backward so the water went back to the pipe it was coming out front. Also, objects can go off screen.

Despite that, I really liked it. Great job on the game !
