About
EntroPipes is a pipe-rotation puzzle game written in Python with the Pyxel retro-game engine, released under the GPL 3 license, for Linux, Windows, Linux-based handheld consoles (such as the R36S and Anbernic), and web browsers. It's a rewrite of an earlier version of the same game built with Lua on the TIC-80 fantasy console, based on an original idea credited to Z80St Software. In each level, the goal is to rotate pipes until they're all connected before time runs out, with any time remaining converted into bonus points.
How it differs from the original
This is a from-scratch Python/Pyxel rewrite of an earlier iteration of the same game, which was originally built in Lua for the TIC-80 fantasy console.
Getting started
Download the archive for your platform, extract it, and double-click the executable to run — supported systems include Windows, Linux, Linux-based handhelds like the R36S and Anbernic, and a web-browser version. Move the cursor with the d-pad or arrow keys, and rotate a pipe clockwise or counter-clockwise with the two main buttons (or their keyboard equivalents).
