The colony's water reserves are down to just 12%. You are the last Hydro-Engineer patched into the HYDROPULSE system. Guided by NEXUS, you must master the subterranean water networks—constructing canal walls to direct flow, sealing pipes to prevent leaks, breaching rock layers, and navigating portals and ice fields to deliver precious resources to the target nodes.

The lower the cost, the better your rank. 128 levels, 16 chapters, 4 grand acts, leading to the ultimate puzzle: "The Singularity."

Core Gameplay

  • Build Walls: Left-click to raise terrain and form canal walls; right-click and drag to remove them.
  • Source & Target: Blue = Source, Red = Target. Guide the flow to the target to clear the level.
  • Leakage Penalty: Unprotected flow will leak (indicated by an orange glow), increasing your costs. Sealing your pipes is the key to efficiency.
  • Star Ratings: Lower costs earn higher stars. Achieve the optimal solution to earn ★★★.

Advanced Mechanics (Unlockable)

  • Breaching: Shift + Left-click to shatter mountains (Costs 80).
  • Portals: Purple paired blocks that instantly teleport water flow.
  • Ice Sheets: Translucent light blue surfaces where water flows cost-free without leaking.
  • Undercurrents: Green arrows that force the water in a specific direction.
  • Multi-Targets: Multiple red nodes that must all receive water simultaneously.
