Aqueduct is a really pure approach to the theme. Impressive ancient technology at its best. :)

At first, I kept placing the aqueduct parts only next to each other so that the water flow keeps going continuously. I felt a bit dumb when I realized that I could place them wherever I wanted to. It helped in cases where weren't a suitable part with which the aqueduct could be directly continued.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but the parts can be placed on top of each other (essentially replacing the lower one). Makes some sections maybe a bit too easy if you can just replace stuff without thinking. Additionally, the water flows although you connect a curve part to a straight part to the curved side, for example.

Some sounds and background music would increase the mood of the game. I'm also not completely sure how the next available parts are determined. It looked random to me, so you couldn't use the parts tactically. Just use whichever fits? Sometimes, the house spawned somewhere where it couldn't be seen, which required a restart.

Thanks for the game, keep on making!
