Plumbing
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Scientists found a mysterious type of water-like fluid in a strange area that hasn't ever been touched. They managed to retrieve a sizable sample of it and get it out of the immediate strange area. Your job is to guide it to every lab on the planet while keeping it safe from anything that the liquid may negatively react to.
In the process of getting the water out of the area they were also conducting research on the water and discovered that the liquid possesses unique qualities such as the ability to move perpetually and the potential to fly (float) when influenced. They also discovered that the substance responds negatively to physical interference.

Made for My First Game Jam Summer 2020
DISCLAIMER: This game is not finished and was slightly rushed to meet the jam deadline and as a result we were unable to balance or test the game and get all the feature we wanted in and there may be bugs. The audio (code) is also broken because of this. We might upload a post jam version to fix this.

Very simple and interesting. Took me a minute to figure out why I was dying but once I understood it was fun. I played v2
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. Would you prefer V2 music or the original music?
Hi everyone! I just added a score system and made some changes to the music. See the changelog for the full details.
It's a well done game!The art style is simple, and its perfect for the game. If everything was more detailed, the player would eventually have trouble detecting what to avoid, because at some point everything would be a blurry mess. This art style prevents that. As others mentioned, a score system would be nice for this kind of game. The music got the job done and that's all that matters. See you in the next jam!
Thanks! A score feature is planned for the next update! The next update will be when the remaining issues are polished up and the score feature is implemented.
The stereo sound is actually pretty cool! I also like the concept that you don't die entirely after getting hit or with the ground obstacle if there's even any water left...
I actually gone a lot far being just a single drop of water XD But somehow got more later.
One thing I wish there was is that a scoring system. At least I would how far I had made.
Overall, nice game, specially the sound, enjoyed it!
Thanks! A score feature is planned and I was going to do it just before the jam deadline but sadly I didn’t have time. The sound wasn’t made by me but the person who made it is mentioned in the description. If you want to find out what the feature will be like, there is an issue on the GitHub repository for score system (#3 I think).
Thank you so much SquishyCat!
Its so soothing and satisfying! Its so relaxing, even when you loose :) (I love the sizzle sound when you get hurt) And the opening sequence that leads into the game is so smooth!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! This is my very first game (and game jam) I made
