Reception
Aktueller Software Markt compared the game to Super Pipeline and Block Hole, and called the game unoriginal but well staged and fun. Power Play said the same concept is done better in the Game Boy game, Blodia. Amiga-Magazin compared the game to Pipe Mania and thought the game was too difficult. Joystick also compared it to Pipe Mania and said the game will appeal to fans of puzzle games. ST Format liked the graphics and sound but said the gameplay is frustrating.
