Frack You by Candyhandy
Connect the pipes to extract the gas underneath the surface of the earth while trying to contaminate groundwater in the least possible way.

I will be updating the game after the judging ends adding the following:
- Smarter pipe random distribution
- Make it more difficult by adjusting the people's happiness
- Saving and restoring progress
- Scores
- Music and audio
- More changes based on your feedback

"Well, keep ordering pipes until the pipe company gives us the pipe we need. And make sure you use all the pipes you order."
"But, boss, wouldn't it b.."
"Do as I say, damnit!"
Same thing as TyrusPeace for me--it's a really cool idea, making a game about fracking and getting the word out--but going from the top-down and merely placing the not-straight-up-and-down pipes without connecting them to anything at all (so I could cheese the randomizer and grab straight pipes only) meant contamination pretty much didn't happen, and so I didn't wind up doing much of anything even though I got up to the 40-barrel version to see if any new missions would appear. I didn't even see the clean water part of it!
P.S.: Cute name :]
Puzzle game with a lot of intelligence in it!

It makes me sad that it was so easy to game (placing pipes disconnected from the main line). If you ever update this game, maybe consider having pipes cost some money, or requiring new pipes to attach to previous pipes. After a while the game started to become a bit tedious (especially since it was mostly throwing away pipes), so I only played until level 14. Overall well done.
Overall, was very well done!
Nothing much to add to the others really, but I found that winking victory smiley somewhat horrifying :D. The controls could've been made a lot better if you could scroll trough your current pipes with the mouse wheel or with 1, 2 and 3 keys. You managed to get quite a lot done in such a short time, good job!

The pipe rush mechanics go really well with the theme! The peoples' mood part feels a bit weird though, as I didn't give too much effort in paying attention to the mood bar, I just kept connecting pipes. Still, fun fun fun.
Still, I felt compelled to keep playing so that's always a good sign! :)
