Meepit Juice Break

General Info
Meepits are getting quite thirsty and are in need of their favorite beverage, Juppie Juice. They are waiting as patiently as they possibly can for you to figure out the Juice-O-Matic and connect them to their juice. Meepit Juice Break is a puzzle-based game where you are strategizing the placement of pipes to help meepits drink their fill happily.


   
How To Play
On one side of the game play there is a tree that consists of three holes. Each hole will be filled with a meepit who is thirsty for their Juppie Juice. On the other side are a series of pipes and colors that are disconnected. The point of the game is to match the colored pipes to the colored meepit who is thirsty before they fall off the tree, and you lose a life.

Controls
Your main control is the Juice-O-Matic, where you are converting pipes and their colors to match the color (to the best of your ability) to the meepit who is waiting for their Juppie Juice. Changing the positions of each pipe piece clockwise by 90 degrees is with a click of a mouse. 

Pipes
There are a total of 7 different pipe colors. There are three default primary colors of pipes: red, blue and yellow. If any of the pipes combine with one another, they will create secondary colors such as green, orange and purple. However, if you manage to combine all three primary colors together, you will create pink.
 

Yellow + Blue = Green Pipes

Red + Blue = Purple Pipes

Red + Yellow = Orange Pipes

Red + Blue + Yellow = Pink Pipes

Scoring
Just like there are 7 different colors of pipes, there are also 7 different colored meepits. There are different combinations of earning points that correlate with pipe colors, meepit colors and how many meepits are being fed at a time.
 

Points per Pipe	Description	Example	Meepit Expressions
+1	Either A mismatch between the pipe color with the color of a meepit OR Playing Zen Mode and earning per meepit
+2	Matching the pipe color with the meepit color

Zen Mode vs. Regular Game Play
You have a choice to play regular game play, which is fast-paced and timed, or Zen Mode, which allows you to take your time with putting the pipes together with the meepit(s). In the regular game play, you earn points per pipe that you connect to a meepit. In Zen mode, you earn 1 point for every meepit fed.

Bonus Points
There are bonus points that you can earn when playing the game. You can earn points (or lose) points through various fruits that are found on pipes. There is also a bonus score of +50 points if you are able to clear all pipes from the board. Bonus points do not apply to Zen Mode.

Cheat Code

• Type meepits once per game to gain an extra life. Another meepit will appear on the tree branch.
   
• Type juice-o-matic to restore all time meters to full. All meepits will restart their time clocks, which will make it easier to feed them.

Strategies
There are a few known strategies when playing Meepit Juice Break to take into consideration.

There is no one way to start
You can either start where the colored pipes begin or by the meepits. It really depends on how the pipes look and how easy it is to snake the pipes from one side to the other.

Mismatch every now and then
It is nearly impossible to be perfect and match the pipes with the color of its meepit. Sometimes it is worth making sure not to lose a life than to ensure that you have everything matched accordingly.

Add more pipes into the mix
Even if it doesn't go with the flow, add a couple pipes here and there. This will add to the overall score when feeding a meepit. The more pipes you add on, the more extra points you earn, getting you to the avatar faster.

Regular versus Zen modes
It is recommended to practice and go through the regular mode to achieve the avatar, however, if doing Zen mode for the avatar, it has been tested and confirmed that with the plug-in, Ruffle, you do not need to reach 3,500 in one sitting. In other words, the Ruffle plug-in remains active even if your computer stands idle. You can have a meal, use the bathroom or go for a walk, and be able to come back to continue feeding your meepits when needed.


Avatar
The avatar is achievable on both regular and Zen modes. Comparitively, Zen mode will take a lot longer to get the avatar as it is one point per meepit fed, making it 3,500 meepits to feed. 

Trophies
Just like all games, there are trophies that you can earn depending on your high score!

Gold Trophy

Silver Trophy
