In-game store
Several different items and power-ups
Mini-games
Boss-fights!

You can listen to the Pipe Works OST here, as composed by myself and Gorsal!

Developer's notes:
Hello everyone. We at DSA are glad to be making our first steps into the gaming industry and hope you'll enjoy our first title. Pipe Works is seeing the light of completion soon, production has been very great to us. I, Star, Ridge and the team would just like to thank everyone for your support.
If you're having a hard idea of how the game works imagine the Bioshock hacking mini-game perfectly mixed with Pac-Man, Mario Bros., and Donkey Kong. We will have a three-level playable demo up on the Pipe Works website by the end of this month. See you then!

It certainly seems interesting... but I have no iOS/Android experience. Sorry! Shy

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Ninspriterx - 01-03-2013

It's okay, guy.

Music, sprite and information update!
[Click here to listen to the music and see a few sprites.]

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Bombshell93 - 01-03-2013

liking the music, almost relaxing and fun... I'd say it sounds pretty casual, perfect for a puzzle game!
Also nice sprites, but the white shirts may need more contrast its pretty hard to notice the details on them.
As or development I'd recommend you look into java, so far as I know its the most popular choice for android and IOS development, its nothing difficult, some things about it are inconvenient to people already versed in other languages (such as lack of operator overloading) but its nothing that makes it hard to work with.
If your looking for a programmer, not to down on this forum but it is a forum based around spriting, that said for programmers your better looking in a forum more centralised to programming. (though with luck you may find someone capable and willing here)

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Ninspriterx - 01-03-2013

Thanks, i'll fix up the shirts. We've actually found a programmer already. I should've made a note of that haha.

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Star - 01-04-2013

Star, here! Just wanted to stop on by and drop off these animations for y'all's viewing!

Enjoy Smile

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Gors - 01-04-2013

those animates pretty well, but it lacks 'life' to be honest. The blurs aren't necessary for this speed.

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Kitsu - 01-04-2013

If he sped up the blur frames and added a slight retraction frame, it might look better.

This is just a personal opinion, but I feel this robot does not match up with the overall vibe of the game
where everything else is old-fashioned looking and coppery, this robot is clean and futuristic
So far as I can tell, it's an EVE in a Wall-E world.
Everything looks wonderful and neat though.

Looks more like one of the robots in Portal 2 eheh.

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Zadaben - 01-04-2013

Oh I wasn't saying that it's actually EVE
I was just alluding to that movie because it's a good example of the sort of clash that I am talking about.
Although it does resemble a Portal bot, now that you mention it.

RE: Pipe Works [In Development] - Star - 01-05-2013

I dont want to give away why it looks like that

But you guys are catching on! Ehehehe

NEWS: Hey everyone! We're launching the official Dream Show Adventures AND Pipe Works website June 1st.
Along with the official "four-level tech-demo" (which will be downloadable for PC and shortly after Mac, and playable right on the site!)

Here's a mock-up I made of the results screen:

Sean and I were also holding a cute little contest across Facebook and Tumblr:

We need a name for the Level 2 - “Familiar Sewers” end boss. Best name gets a free copy of the game when it comes out.

*So in the meant time, you can try a very basic build of Pipe Works!
left click - rotate clockwise
right lick - counter clockwise
space bar - deploy mouse traps
enter key - bear traps

Enjoy!
