NAME
pipenightdreams - Just another pipe trip (PipeDream clon).
SYNOPSIS
pipenightdreams [--datadir <DATADIR>] [--fullscreen]
DESCRIPTION
pipenightdreams is a PipeDream style game. The objetive of the game is
to carry liquid from some point to the exit using different kinds of
pipes. On each level there is a minimum number of required pipes that
should be at least reached for it to be completed.
The score is increased by using as many pipes as possible an by
collecting various bonus tokens making the liquid pass through their
pipes. There are also life bonus and, hopefully soon, "freeze tokens".
The game is not exactly a copy of PipeDream. It’s based only on the
facts I remember and on many other things which have been added, or
changed hoping for making it better.
KEYS
The game is entirely played using the keyboard and the key layout is as
follows:
SPACE Puts the next pipe where the pointer is.
CURSOR KEYS
Move the pointer.
ENTER Speeds up the liquid (Avoids skillful players to get bored).
ESC Goes back to the main screen or exits.
BONUS TYPES
The various types of bonus tokens are the following:
LIFE BONUS
The purple one with a "L" on it.
SUPER BONUS
The red one with a "B" on it.
ULTRA BONUS
The blue one.
HYPER BONUS
The green one.
