Thanks for playing and for the interesting question! To be honest I wouldn't recommend using React at all, it's more of a self-imposed challenge. But if you really like the idea of declaring your game in a sort of html-ish way, it's pretty fun and there's a good pixi-react integration with typescript support at https://reactpixi.org/ . In this game everything is a React app, but I had to write a ton of custom "framework" code to add support for basic things like loading/accessing spritesheets in a sane way, camera/viewports, audio management, etc. I also integrated matter-js for physics that I didn't end up using in the end. Meanwhile the game logic is handled in redux and it works really well for things like game state as you can probably imagine.
I can't think of a better use for these assets than in this classic formula, complete with cheery music and oh so perfect sound effects. Impressively well polished for a 2 day Jam!
Great work! :D
Great idea and fun game! I think your cover icon is great too and made me want to click.
I think making the rotation faster and snappier would make it feel better. And the sound of them kinda reinforces it feeling slow (although I get why you picked it!). Overall fun though, well done.
Ah, that takes me back! I really wish the water pressure/time limit mechanic was there, but it's still a very neat game. I loved the sounds as well. Really nice job on the polish too!
Great job! Good use of the theme to make a pretty classic game mechanic.
Everything feel smooth and use the good old plumber game, i didn't think of this game when brainstorming haha.
The music is nice, but I can't stand the sound effect so I had to mute the game sadly! The game is already hard enough, not sure you need to add a time limit at all.
Nice execution overall!
I'm going to put "master plumber" on my resume and when they ask about it in an interview I'll just tell them I beat this game :P I love these types of games and this one was really fun! There were so many levels that I would start somewhere in the middle without even looking to how I needed to connect up the start and end and then I'd have to redo all my work haha. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! The levels are generated randomly but I use a maze generator algorithm to make sure that there is at least one solution for each level. Random being random you'll occasionally get very easy-to-solve paths while other times it might be a very tortuous path that goes through most of the tiles. I had some ideas to better control the levels difficulty but run out of time at the end, will probably update after the jam ends
Good execution, feels polished, slow beginning but starts to pick up around lvl 5.
Only nitpick: since you cannot rotate counterclockwise, you'll hear two more squeaks in quick succession until a piece of pipe is where you you wanted it to go before the missclick.
Good job.
Nice classic game. Nice and hard solutions, started getting stumped in some levels after 6.
