If you enjoy simple yet addictive puzzle games like World of Goo and Feed Me Oil, you may enjoy the latest addition to this genre called World of Oil HD. The game has recently been released for iPad and judging by the name, the developers aren't trying to hide its inspiration.
According to PocketGamer, the game actually has Pipe Mania gameplay despite the references to the other titles. "World of Oil for iOS sounds like World of Goo, looks like Feed Me Oil, plays like Pipe Mania," PocketGamer states.
According to the app description, gameplay consists of laying down a pipeline from "sources to consumers." You do this by rotating the pipes in various directions and connecting them together. There are a wide variety of levels with unique landscapes, designs and background art. Here is the list of features (taken from app description):
