✨ PIPENIGHTDREAMS ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Games Manual for pipenightdreams 💖 buckle up, we're doing pipes today

🎀 NAME 🎀

pipenightdreams — literally just another pipe trip (a PipeDream clon, no cap).

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pipenightdreams [--datadir <DATADIR>] [--fullscreen]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So pipenightdreams is a PipeDream-style game, and the whole vibe is this: you gotta carry liquid from some point over to the exit using different kinds of pipes. That's the mission. That's the main character energy right there. 🫶

Every level has a minimum number of required pipes you have to reach at least, otherwise the level doesn't get completed. Periodt.

Your score goes up when you use as many pipes as possible, and also when you collect the various bonus tokens by making the liquid pass through their pipes. Iconic. There are also life bonus tokens, and — hopefully soon, fingers crossed 🤞 — "freeze tokens".

Now real talk: this game is not exactly a copy of PipeDream. It's based only on the facts the author remembers, plus a whole bunch of other things that got added or changed in the hopes of making it better. Slay, honestly.

🔥 KEYS 🔥

The game is played entirely with the keyboard, and the key layout goes like this:

  • SPACE — puts the next pipe wherever the pointer is rn.
  • CURSOR KEYS — move the pointer around. ✨
  • ENTER — speeds up the liquid (this one exists so that skillful players don't get bored, iykyk).
  • ESC — goes back to the main screen, or just exits entirely.

🌸 BONUS TYPES 🌸

The various types of bonus tokens are these, bestie, memorize them:

  • LIFE BONUS — the purple one, it's got an "L" on it. 💜
  • SUPER BONUS — the red one, it's got a "B" on it.
  • ULTRA BONUS — the blue one.
  • HYPER BONUS — the green one.

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • --datadir <CUSTOM DATA DIR> — use this when the data directory isn't the default one. The defaults are /usr/share/games/pipenightdreams if you installed from an rpm package, and /usr/local/share/games/pipenightdreams when you installed by compiling the source package.
  • --fullscreen — switchs to fullscreen mode. big screen, big vibes 🖥️✨
