I passed way too much time (about 3h30 for normal and hard) on this game. Seriously, it's a nice and simple gestion game, really nice.
Reviews for "Waterworks!"
Holy fuckshit. I spent waaay too much time with this :)
I found it intriguing and factual educational at times.
But then I decided that I want to beat it on hard and then on impossible as well. And hard was a extremely close call.
Though since I found it possible to memorize many mechanics after two playtroughs I made it trough.
Or nearly: I sighed as I had 100 gold and 50 hype for the final upgrade, as I realised that the impossible mode wants 110 gold. I kinda panicked shortly, since I saw a good chance that the math wont add up any more after this round, and then I was blessed by the wish-for-a-well side-quest, which is very easy and very profitable! XD
Oh my .... now I need to cook, I am starving.
This is why I don't play video games usually... XD

This was marvelous. Fantastic job!
only complaint I have is that the difficulty levels are locked behind beating the previous. which isnt a big deal
