OBJECTIVE The objective of Wall Pipe is to try to eep the water flowing as long as possible by placing down pipe lin s to direct its flow.

GAME PLAY / CLOCK On the left side of the screen, you will see 4 different shaped pipes. The mouse cursor will be on top of the bottom pipe. Clic ing the mouse button will ma e the pipe disappear and the mouse cursor will then appear on the game board itself. Clic ing the mouse button again, will place that pipe onto the game board. When the game begins, there is a cloc located on the left side of the screen. At the first level, you will have 40 seconds to place pipes before the water starts to begin flowing from the Water Well which is light blue. Once the water has begun to flow, you can still eep placing pipes down on the game board in order to eep ahead of the onrushing water.

PLACING PIPES You may place a pipe anywhere on the game board where there is an empty space. You can also place a pipe on top of a previously placed empty pipe, however there will be a time delay of 3 to 4 seconds. This can be really fatal when trying to eep just ahead of the water flow. If water has already entered a pipe, then you will be unable to place another pipe at that location.

LEVELS / WALLS As you move to higher levels, the initial cloc timer will have less and less time before the water starts to flow from the well. On some levels there are blan bric walls which will prevent you from placing pipes there. They can either be stationary or will shift around with each pipe placed. PIPES & OBJECTS There are many different types of pipes and objects you can use to help you eep the water flowing. WATER WELL: light blue HOLE: pin

It is from here the water will begin to flow once the cloc timer runs out time. There are sometimes two holes placed on the game board. If you can get the water to flow into it, then the water will emerge flowing in the same direction from the other hole located somewhere else on the board. The water must flow in the direction of the arrows or else it will be considered a dead end. Bonus Pipes and Tubs give you extra points if you can get the water to flow through them. These cross pipes allow you to loop the water through itself for extra bonus points. These loops are essential for getting to higher levels. If you see a Sin on the game board, you * MUST * end the water flow there, or the game will be over regardless of the points scored. The game will remind you of that on levels which have a Sin on them.

DIRECTIONAL: PIPES BONUS PIPES: CROSS PIPES:

SCORING At the start of each level, the points needed to progress to the next level is show below the game board. The longer the water flows through the pipes, more points are scored. When the water reaches a dead end (no pipe), then the level will be over. Pipes that were not used, will be eliminated from the game board. Each unused pipe will cost you 20 points off your total score. If your total score is equal to or higher then the points needed to continue, then you will be allowed to proceed to the next level. The higher the level, the more points will be needed to eep advancing to higher levels. (LEVEL * 10) + 200 Every 8000 points will give you a Bonus Round. You cannot lose
