You live in a Sludge City ruled by a Sludge Baron.

By the baron's decree "All you damn tele- and pyro-mutants are hereby recruited to cleanse the sewers of radioactive slime beasts. Do whatever it takes, they're mucking up my sludge."

Here be the Rules:
SPACE--> Use your telekinesis to rotate pipes
S--> Use your pyrokinesis to detonate and burn out the slimey things

Only one worker is permitted per area, so don't screw up and get all the sludge devils.

R: Restart Level
P: Pause

Argh - very intense haha. Took a while to grasp the controls and not blow myself up. It gets tricky trying to keep the slime beasts at bay while lining up the pipes for the perfect shot. Nice work - loved the pixelly art!

This is a lot of fun and a really original idea. The font on the first screen is a little hard to read but other than that I really like the are style. Once I got the controls down it felt really good to play. I did keep pushing S when I meant to press space at first :P

Very nice overall! I like the level design and the artwork. The sound effects tend to be irritating after a while, though :)

Intense is the best way to describe this!

Love the gameplay, remind me to Bomberman but with more unique twist on the level design. The text a bit unreadable though...

Impressive number of levels. Very good. I would've liked to see more of the expanding sludge from the final level.

Wow, glad to see everyone enjoying it. I'm gonna be busy for a bit here but after Christmas I'll definitely get back on it and make more levels.

Nothing else to say but: perfectly done. Controls are easy to learn and the difficulty curve is really nice. I just love what you have done with the team. Kudos!

Interesting twist on the pipes-style of game.
