Pipe Flow in Just One More, by the Babbling Brook

How to play Pipe Flow

A spring at the top of a stone garden, a koi pond at the bottom. Tap each cobbled tile to rotate it and steer the brook from spring to pond.

  1. Spring to Pond

    Water flows from the spring at the top of the garden down to the koi pond at the bottom. Connect a continuous channel to win.

  2. Tap to Rotate

    Tap any cobbled tile to spin it ninety degrees. Match the openings on neighboring tiles so the brook keeps flowing.

  3. Mind the Decoys

    Some stones are dead-end decoys. Don't waste rotations chasing branches that can never reach the pond.

  4. Connect to Win

    Completing the channel from spring to pond wins the round and stretches your streak. Your rotation count is shown at the end, so plan a clean path.

Four difficulty levels

Every level keeps its own streak, best and high score, so climbing costs you nothing.

Easy
5×5 garden. The brook stays mostly straight.
Medium
6×7 garden. A few extra bends to puzzle out.
Hard
7×9 garden. The path winds. More decoy stones.
Very Hard
8×11 garden. A long winding brook through dense decoys.

2 ways to play Pipe Flow

Classic Pipe Flow plus 1 more, each with genuinely different rules rather than a fresh coat of paint. Every one keeps its own difficulty ladder and its own best score.

Three Springs, played on the Pipe Flow board in Just One More

Three Springs

All rivers seek the sea.

Three brooks, three koi. Plus-stones let two streams pass.

How Three Springs differs
  1. Three Springs, Three Ponds Three independent brooks share the same garden. Each spring along the top must reach its own koi pond along the bottom for the round to finish.
  2. Tap to Rotate Tap any cobbled tile to spin it ninety degrees. Plus-shaped cross stones are fixed in place and let two streams pass through without mixing.
  3. Streams Don't Mix Where two networks cross, the plus stones keep each brook's water on its own channel. A wrong rotation elsewhere can leak one stream onto another path.
  4. All Three Connect to Win Every spring must reach its matching pond at the same time. Plan all three routes together. Your rotation count is shown at the end.
