Boring. In Plumber 2 you have to rotate pipes in order to connect them. This under pressure of a countdown timer. This is at most a minigame for a point & click.

OK, but the game doesn't recognize all possible solutions and it doesn't quit as it should.

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Plumber 2 is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", freeanygame/hellydevelop/anyfreemore/halloweenreborn/anyfreegame/Awesome Deveelop/freeanywhere, took the [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/plumber-html5-game-30-levels-mobile-version-construct2-capx/20279567]Plumber[/url] tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Muscle-SS, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. It gets worse... "Plumber" has already been shamelessly dumped on Steam by freeanygame/hellydevelop/anyfreemore/halloweenreborn/anyfreegame/Awesome Deveelop/freeanywhere: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1738850]Plumber 3[/url]" [/list] Take a look for yourself... these are both [i]exactly the same game![/i] They're released through this guys considerable array of sockpuppet Steam accounts (created to attempt to hide his trail and further mislead gamers about his asset flip scamming and unethical activities): [list] [*] freeanygame [*] hellydevelop [*] anyfreemore [*] halloweenreborn [*] anyfreegame [*] Awesome Deveelop [*] freeanywhere [*] hellydev [*] matchdev23 [*] anyccledev [/list] All the same guy. An important note: This guy is a known asset flipper and has previously taken other developers work and put it on Steam in an attempt to scam gamers and get paid for someone else's effort. He's shown a repeated pattern of trying to scam gamers, here are some examples of other asset flip scams they've pulled: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1710600]Jelly 2[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/jelly-match3-html5-game-mobile-vesionadmob-construct2-capx/14829862]Jelly Match 3[/url] developed by Muscle-SS [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1720580]Any Candy[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/jelly-match3-html5-game-mobile-vesionadmob-construct2-capx/14829862]Jelly Match 3[/url] developed by Muscle-SS [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1713660]Awesome Puzzle[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/puzzle-for-kids-capx-included/29811461]Puzzle For Kids[/url] developed by quimeragames [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1782790]Animal Match[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/jelly-match3-html5-game-mobile-vesionadmob-construct2-capx/14829862]Jelly Match 3[/url] developed by Muscle-SS [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1764010]Gold Miner[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/gold-miner-html5-game-mobile-version-construct2-capx/20075168]Gold Miner HTML5 Game Template[/url] developed by Muscle-SS [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1741510]Traffic Command: Reborn[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/traffic-command-html5-game-mobile-version-construct-3-construct-2-capx/23245852]Traffic Command[/url] developed by Muscle-SS [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1744420]Halloween Memory Reborn[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/halloween-memory-html5-game-14-levels-mobile-version/20863760]Halloween Memory[/url] developed by Muscle-SS [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1738850]Plumber 3[/url]" = [url=https://codecanyon.net/item/plumber-html5-game-30-levels-mobile-version-construct2-capx/20279567]Plumber[/url] developed by Muscle-SS [/list] The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Plumber" is just a basic mobile app demo pack for a ripoff of the 1990's game, Pipe Dream, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so a copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from freeanygame/hellydevelop/anyfreemore/halloweenreborn/anyfreegame/Awesome Deveelop/freeanywhere.
