“While there have been a number of Pipe Mania clones in the App Store, none seem to have the depth and finish of this official port of the original.” – Touch Arcade
“This game hasn’t made me think so hard compared to any other game on the App Store.” – The APPera
Albie Meter: 4 Stars (a deep pipe game with enough in it that you won’t exhale too soon; recommended for puzzlers and pipe fitters alike with a lighthearted storyline)
-----------------
Puzzle fans of all ages will enjoy hours of brain-teasing fun as they race against time in the infectious series of quests and puzzles filled with quirky characters, a humorous storyline and engaging gameplay. The original version of Pipe Mania was released in 1989 and followed by Pipe Dreams in 1991. It has been ranked as one of the most popular and successful puzzle games in history, selling more than 4 million units worldwide on other game consoles
The simplicity of Pipe Mania makes it accessible to all ages. The player must lay down a pre-ordained set of pipes on a tiled grid in order to keep the constantly flowing Flooze moving for as long as possible without it spilling out. The game requires quick thinking, hand-eye co-ordination, forward thinking and keen spatial awareness.
The iPhone version of Pipe Mania brings in a social element to the game play. Challenge your friends to a game using Scoreloop Core Social Integration to find out who the Pipe Mania champ is!
Features:
- 4 Modes: World, Arcade, Bonus and Classic.
- Navigate through 39 levels and 354 sub-levels that include Basic Pipes, Sewers, Railroad, Factory, Internet, Super Pipes, etc.
- Multiple attacks and damages
- Army of characters that help and hinder the players along the way
- Challenge others players via Scoreloop system
Did you ever think that a time would come when you would be begging for one little piece of pipe? With this game, you just might!
So, Gear up. The Mania is back!

Awful!
Ignore those glowing reviews in the description above; this is a terrible game! Graphics are fuzzy, not at all as shown in the previews! There is no story line, plot, or any of the features they talk about in the description. It plays clunky and slow, which makes it virtually impossible to complete levels. The pieces of pipe you need never fall when you need them, and there's no way to get rid of pipe you don't want without points deduction. It's just an exercise in frustration! Don't bother; there are a lot of better games out there, like Gas Tycoon 2, Aqueduct, Piperoller, etc.
Good puzzler
But please update for Game Center Achievements and Leaderboards!!!
Good port
Loved this on my DS and it translates well to the iOS. Clean graphics, smooth gameplay, and lots of additional game modes make this better than the rest. It did take a second to figure out exactly how to place a tile (I wanted to drag and drop, but all you need to do is press where you want it), and I still haven't gotten the hang of the random tile, but overall it's very enjoyable.
