I really enjoy playing puzzle games such as pipe dreams or games that make you think alittle more than other games. like tetris,dr. mario as examples.
Nice, but let down by so-so graphics and awkward controls

The Pipe Dream game I was most familiar with before this one was from LucasArts, for the PC. The PC version has crisp, clear graphics and an easy interface.
The PSX version is an update with a few gimmicks that actually do help to make the game more challenging. While you are busy building the pipeline to carry the ooze, the gameboard changes to present various challenges. So, while you're working to keep the ooze flowing you're also trying to steer the flow in a particular direction.
The problem, though, is that this is all depicted with graphics that are sub-par. Considering that a good rendering shouldn't have been too tough for a game like this, it is surprising how unclear things can be at some points. Another problem is that the bends in the angled pipe pieces are too shallow, sometimes causing you to hesitate while you determine whether the current piece is turning to the left or to the right. Also, when you have placed a piece on the board and determine that you need to change it multiple times, you can't continue to click on the piece again and again to do so -- you instead have to *leave* the piece, then come back to it. This causes unnecessary delay and makes me wonder if it was intentional (to add to the challenge) or just an oversight by the designers.
However, once you get used to the look and the controls the game is engrossing and worth the low price. It requires constant attention so playing even 3 or 4 levels can make you ready for a rest. However I can't help but think it was a rush job and could have stood a bit more polish.
Kinda Hard
