Hi there. Good looking 'boring job' simulator. Like the sounds and visuals, ticket printer and sfx for that. Could not work out how to connect a pipe to anything, so couldn't complete even task one. I think that needs explaining - unless that frustration is supposed to be the point! Good job on the simulation.

Looks nice, but as others have said, I didn't really understand what I needed to do.

Is there a limit on the number of parts you can ask for?

If you had more time it could of done with a little tutorial section at the beginning.

Shame it's glitchy when placing the parts as this is has real promise. Often the right-angle pipes will continually go on the wrong way.

This is a fun idea. I like how the workplace is flooded with water if you aren't fast enough. However I encountered some buggy behavior with attaching pipes - maybe some way to rotate the pieces would help?

You can throw a hammer off the screen (not nice). I was able to break A62 with the hammer, also went off screen. Needs work to be playable. Good job otherwise!

Don't get me wrong idea is cool, but the game is too buggy especialy pipes connecting, but I post-compo with fixes would be cool.

I like that kind of "Papers Please" approach of your game. :)

Good Job! I feel a strong "Papers Please" vibe :)

Hey ! Junior Pipe Artisan here ! I really really enjoyed the Papers Please! vibe from this game. The ambiance is very nice.

However, attaching the pipes was quite buggy. The only Time I managed to have a success I had attached the pipe backward so the water went back to the pipe it was coming out front. Also, objects can go off screen.

Despite that, I really liked it. Great job on the game !
