Water Flow Games

Crops/Thirst Satisfaction Games

• Jimmy Neutron must connect pipes to supply water to his family and friends in "Flip n' Flow," accessible at Nickelodeon. Click pipes to change their direction and click the red button to start the water flow. If water splashes out of a pipe or if the player fails to finish connecting pipes before time runs out, the player loses a life. Advance to the next level if water successfully reaches Jimmy's family and friends without leaks. The game ends when the player loses three lives.

  Hyenas destroy the water irrigation system that keeps the crops and animals healthy in "Let it Flow," found at 1Up Free Games. This game differs from "Flip n' Flow" in that there may be leaks in the pipeline, there is a point penalty feature, and there is not a set number of lives. Otherwise, the games function similarly. Players receive points for completing levels, finishing before time runs out, and sending water through bonus pipes.

Pipe-Rotating Games

• Rotate pipe tiles to form a water-flow path in "Pipeline Master," found at Fupa. If water successfully reaches the main vent, advance to the next level. Try to create a continuous flow of water between a tap and overflow pipe before time runs out in "Plumber," accessible at 2FlashGames. Scoring depends on how many pipes are used, the number of moves made, and how long it takes to finish. In the sequel game, "Plumber 2," there is no time limit.

Pipe-Swapping Games

• Water starts flowing into the wrong pipes if a player takes too long connecting them in "Aqualux," accessible at Addicting Games. To ensure that water travels from the spigot to the drain, a player must switch or rotate pipes. Earn maximum points and a gold trophy for filling pipes with water, making as few moves as possible and finishing quickly.

  Rearrange pipes as part of a large pipe-laying project in "Connectica Ultra," found at Fupa. Dragging titles from one spot to another, players try to form a path to allow water to flow from the starting point to the finish point. Advance to the next level after successfully forming a pipeline.

Pot-Filling Games

• Try to distribute the correct amount of water to empty pots in "Liquid Measure," found at Armor Games. All tanks and pots have a specified capacity. To control water flow, connect pipe pieces to the tanks of water. After dragging an empty pot underneath a tank, click "Start" to set the water flow in motion. Advance to the next level when you fill the pots 100 percent with water, with no spillage. Aside from tanks and regular pots, the sequel game, "Liquid Measure 2," features overflow pots and splitters that stream water down into other pots and split water into two streams.
