Description
Welcome to Pipegrade! Your objective is to keep the liquid in the pipes flowing as long as you can. Click on any square in the play area to place the next tile. If the tile has more than one exit, the liquid will flow through every exit!
Unlock new upgrades and difficulties as you play!
How to Play
Keys: Bomb, magNet, Fast forward, Mute, Pause.
Using tools: Click on the bomb or the magnet in the panel to select the bomb or the magnet tool. Then click on an already placed tile to use your tool. The bomb will remove the tile, while the magnet will keep it so you can place it somewhere else.
There is a limited number of bombs you can use in a game. Under the bomb icon you can see how many bombs you have left. The magnet has no use limit, but each time you use it, you will receive a score penalty, displayed under the magnet icon.
You can also press B to select the bomb, and N to select the magnet.
Scoring: You gain points whenever the liquid reaches an empty tile. You gain more points if the tile has many exits, or if it is a shiny tile. You can unlock new difficulties by reaching the goal, displayed in the bottom of the panel. You can also use your points to buy upgrades to help you.

I'm enjoying this game very much. Here's list of my suggestions to improve game play even more:
a) hotkeys for boms, magnets
b) rotation feature - which could be something like bombs, upgradable amount of rotations to use on each round

Why do i have to go back to the menu to start a new game? Why not give me the option to "Try again"?
Nice suggestion, will add "try again" button ;)

Got into an unsolvable state -- had the pipe route back on itself as a loop. No more pipe I laid added to the score, but the game did not end because there was no spillage.
the game should end after some seconds without flow, try pressing FF.

Show your current spendable points on the menu. I keep thinking that my high-score is how many points I have.
