Call the plumber, Pipemania is back

Remember PipeMania (a.k.a. Pipe Dream), folks? It’s back, and the plumbing problem is worse than ever. Prepare for the flooze when the game hits this summer. Details on the game in the full article. You might also want to read the full article if you don’t know what flooze is.

The classic Pipemania game is back, and this time the flooze will be clogging up the drains of the Nintendo DS, Wii, PSP, PS2, and the PC. Previous press releases have clocked the game for the 360 too, but it’s still unclear if it’ll push through.

If you aren’t familiar with the game and you’re wondering what flooze is, it could probably best be described as green slime, such that could make Slimer proud.

The object of the game is to set up a grid of tiles with the pipes that you are given in order for the flooze to keep on flowing. The game ends when the flooze overflows. It can be pretty panic-inducing once the game gets really fast on you.

This new Pipemania reincarnation comes from Empire Interactive, and features five different game modes, seven different themes, and over 70 levels. The game modes you can play are World, Arcade, Bonus, Multiplayer, and Classic.

According to the press release, the game will have new play mechanics that involve dealing and taking damage, and having various floozes. You’ll even have to build your own Island World. It’ll be interesting to see how Empire has reinvented this classic game.
