I'm wondering if someone is interested in this game. It's that game where you arrange pieces of pipe so that some liquid (or whatever it is) can pass through them. I've made a test movie. It's a bit rough in some places, and I stupidly didn't realize there's a level select at the start, so I did level 1 instead of 16 as the 'real' movie would do. But it should give a good idea of what I have in mind. I'm not yet completely sure how the randomness works in this game. The game decides the pieces well in advance, but I'm not sure if it is always completely fixed or if pieces in the future can be luck abused.

If you do make one, could you do it on a game time other than C? More than one level would be much more interesting. I don't remember which is a longer game though, A or B. One of them has a tetris type mode where you have to drop the pieces vertically as a bonus stage, I think that would be the most interesting part, since those are the hardest to do well in. In any case, this temp video looked really good, I didn't even know there was an All Squares bonus.
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

That was impressive. I would like to see a run of it.

I think I've figured out the randomness... it seems like there's NO way to affect the pieces once the game starts. Although I haven't tried pausing, which is unacceptable.
