Event · The vats

The slop flow

When the bar runs out, the slop leaves the vat and follows whatever is connected.

Pipe Down: a short pipe from the vat, and the slop spilling out of its open end in a spreading puddle
A spill, staged in Pipe Down

The one event in Pipe Down, and it happens every level. The slop fills one pipe at a time, at a pace the room decides. It turns at bends, goes straight through crosses, waits in kettles and refuses valves pointing the wrong way. When the pipe ends, it doesn’t: it spills, and a puddle spreads where the pipe stopped.

The game has several ways of saying you won, as many for when you didn’t, and it always says why.
