THE EXACT RULES
Lay a pipe outward from the source. Every joint you place must be orthogonally adjacent to the current pipe head; clicking anywhere else is refused and costs nothing. Grey cells are bedrock and can never be piped. A joint costs one step of your budget; undoing one gives the step back. WIN = the head reaches the drain before the budget runs out. FAIL = the budget is spent with the head short of the drain. The budget is the length of a guaranteed route plus 4 / 2 / 1 steps of slack on easy, medium, hard. Grids are carved by a randomised depth-first search that leaves exactly one guaranteed route, and bedrock is only ever placed on cells off that route, so every grid you are shown can be piped — easy 6 bedrock, medium 10, hard 14.
