The goal is pretty easy to understand: click on the pipe segments to rotate them clockwise and try to create a continuous pipeline.

Graphics are nice and the race against the clock definitely makes the game tense at times.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, the game comes without any real soundtrack, just the same little boring sound when your click a pipe segment. I recommend you use the option to turn the sound off, and find instead a sweet melody on your favorite web-radio.<\/p>\n<p>I would also have appreciated to be able to pause the game (with a hidden screen, of course), in order to relax at high levels.<\/p>\n<p>Connexions would probably have been even more tricky with pipes crossing over just like in <a title=\"Plumber 2\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/terrypaton.com\/game.php?game=plumber_2\">Plumber 2<\/a>, but may be then less addictive than it is.<\/p>\n<p>overall, easy to learn, easy to play, Connexions is a fun and addictive game.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Connexions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freegamesnews.com\/en\/games\/Connexions.html\">Have fun!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connexions is a nice real-time puzzle game, something between the famous Tetris and Plumber from Terrypaton.
