Nice little twist on the classic pipe game.  The random piece swaps are nice.  It would be too easy having to do one color, but two makes it challenging enough to be interesting."},{"author_name":"kibertoad","author_uid":"7122","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:48pm","epoch":1409092980,"text":"Solid entry with gameplay that works."},{"author_name":"chartinboy","author_uid":"5199","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 8:09am","epoch":1409126640,"text":"Love it.

Also that was not clear that you need both pipes colors need to be connected (I thought I only need the bottom one).
