Fill-up Buckets
Control
The tiny creature darted through the shadowy underbelly of the ancient clocktower, its whiskers twitching with every faint tick echoing from the gears above. Claws scraped against rusted pipes as it navigated the labyrinth of forgotten machinery, driven by the scent of stolen cheese hidden deep within the tower’s heart. Danger loomed—a skeletal tomcat patrolled the corridors, eyes gleaming like poisoned amber. But this was no ordinary mouse. Its fur bore scars from a hundred narrow escapes, and its paws clutched a makeshift dagger forged from a broken gear tooth. Tonight, the clocktower would learn fear. Tonight, the legends whispered among the colony would rise—or crumble.
description
Guide water through a grid of interconnected pipes by etching pathways across a retro LCD display. Each level tasks you with redirecting currents using minimal strokes—twist valves, rotate junctions, or bridge gaps with quick sketches. Precision matters: misaligned angles spill liquid, while clever routing fills multiple buckets for bonus points. The monochrome visuals pulse with a cathode-ray glow, accompanied by crisp beeps as droplets hit targets. Challenges escalate from basic gravity-fed streams to multi-layered systems requiring split flows and timed blockades. Think three moves ahead—once water starts pouring, adjustments lock. Perfect for short bursts of brain-teasing action, blending tactile line-drawing with the satisfying click of mechanical systems snapping into place. Every solved puzzle flickers with that old-school digital "aha" moment before the next aqueduct reshuffle loads.
