\"\"<\/a>I\u2019m not sure what this game has to do with cats or pipes.\u00a0 Sure the game plays similarly to titles like Pipe Dream, but the \u201cpipes\u201d here are just represented by dotted lines.\u00a0 And I THINK I saw a cat in the background of the stages, but I\u2019m not sure.\u00a0 But it\u2019s still a serviceable puzzler and available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

In each stage are squares with dotted lines representing pipes.\u00a0 You can highlight each square with the directional pad and rotate them with the button.\u00a0 Your goal is to get the \u2018water,\u2018 represented by the dotted lines turning from white to red, to all of the squares with holes in them.\u00a0 Just rotate the squares until all the holes are connected to red lines, and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 There are nearly 50 stages in all.<\/p>\n

My only problems with this game is that I think there is something wrong with the title screen.\u00a0 You can highlight \u2018Play\u2019 or \u2018Tutorial\u2019 but when I click on the second option, it just makes the screen smaller and you can then highlight \u2018Play\u2019 or \u2018Controller\u2019 but I get stuck after that and have to exit.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a bug or something.\u00a0 Luckily the game is pretty easy to figure out without a tutorial.\u00a0 And I think the game could do better in the presentation department.\u00a0 Granted, these types of games don\u2019t need good graphics, but as it stands, this feels like a rough draft of a game.<\/p>\n
