About this game
Rotate a 5×5 network to carry water from the well to the castle, farms and every channel. Build a leak-free capital in daily puzzles or practice.
For players who enjoy connecting shapes and completing a board
Essential rules
- In the gate trial, turn each gold inlet toward the upstream well. Select its tile and use Turn selected gate inlet. Unassisted fewest-move records are kept per map.
- Choose the daily network or free practice.
- Tap a channel to rotate it clockwise. The well, castle and farm stay fixed.
- Connect every channel to the well and deliver water to the castle and farm.
- Join all open ends: water must not leak out of the network.
- Undo a move or use a hint if you get stuck. Record the completed network to earn kingdom points and achievements.
Tips
- Start at the corners and edges; channels cannot point outside the board.
- Follow the blue water from the well to find a disconnected junction.
- The move target is a guide, not a time limit. Focus on connecting the network first.
FAQ
Is there an advanced mode or a move record?
The gate trial adds three directional inlets to the pipe network. Unassisted move records compare the same map only. Replay from the shared result uses the same plan unless its daily date has changed.
Is there a time limit?
No. You can continue beyond the move target. Complete the network at your own pace.
Can I resume later?
Progress is saved in this browser. Return on the same device and browser to resume.
Does everyone get the same daily puzzle?
Yes. Daily networks use the date in Japan. Practice offers different networks.
