How do I play?

You never touch the ball. You move the water. Campaign boards open paused: prepare a channel, place a tool or change a valve, then press Play. One continuous finger stroke counts as one action. Restart returns to the original planning board.

Rewind

Use Back 3 seconds, or tap the history icon to reveal the timeline and drag to a moment. Rewind pauses the game and never reduces your progress. Press Play when ready to continue. Use Restart for a fresh attempt.

Progress and mastery

Every room and puzzle is available from Rooms. Continue follows the collection in order. Solving earns a checkmark; meeting par earns a mastery seal. Watching a solution does not record a personal best.

Hints

Tap the question mark to pause and read the controls. Choose Reveal a hint or Watch the solution separately. Try it yourself returns to a fresh board. Settings can hide hints and solutions while keeping controls help available.

Saving

Progress saves on your device and can sync through your Apple Account using iCloud. Settings stay on each device. Settings → Reset all progress clears saved results; the reset syncs to your other devices. If a save fails, keep the game open, free storage and use Try saving again in Settings.

Sound and accessibility

Music and effects have separate volume sliders. Settings also includes haptics, reduced motion, a left-handed tray and an option to emphasize the ball and goal. The play field requires spatial touch interaction; menu controls have accessibility labels. On iPad, keyboard shortcuts include Space to pause, R to restart and arrow keys to move through time.

Sandbox and Daily

Sandbox lets you configure a free-play board without a completion condition and save or share it as a code. Imports are checked before loading. Daily selects a campaign puzzle for the UTC date and keeps its original budget and par. A watched solution does not enter a competitive score.
