This pipeline feeds a number of barrels and on each screen you have to fill one or more barrels with water from the pipe. The problem is that animals and tools keep trying to make holes in your pipe or knock you off it.

You control Foreman Fred who is aided and abetted by two workmates. You have a gun with which to shoot the tools and beasts that come onto the pipe from the screen edges, or you can sacrifice your workmates who will reappear anyway.

If there is a leak you have to lead a workmate to it for him to mend it with his little hammer. If leaks are left for too long you may start to run low on water and this decreases your score. Some tools are hard to hit while the lobster can only be shot from behind. The shower of tacks can't be destroyed, just knocked off by a workmate.

N. Characters disappear behind pipes when going up or down.
