What is BRAINPIPE?
Is it an otherworldly mind control device, masquerading as a seemingly quaint computer game?
Is it a gateway to worlds beyond our own, created by eldritch wizardry and  invoked by strange creatures hidden away on uncharted islands in the South Pacific?
Perhaps it’s a message from the future, an instruction to mankind to uplift humanity to a higher state of being.
Or maybe it’s just an addictive endurance run game from Digital Eel.
BRAINPIPE is a unique gaming experience. The ultimate objective is to transcend humanity. You do this by navigating the tunnels of your mind, exercising your hand-eye coordination while relishing in the funkadelic sights and sounds of your inner self. Collect the illuminated glyphs while
avoiding the nasty obstacles. They may look all nice  and shiny, even warm and inviting, but each brush with them brings you one step closer to eternal darkness!
BRAINPIPE is also an easy game to play, hearkening back to the classic arcade games of yesteryear. A one click interface keeps you focused on the action, instead of searching for the right key to press, and is a perfect complement to the soothing audio and visuals.
Are you ready for a  trip beyond space?
Beyond time?
Beyond MIND?
Experience BRAINPIPE today!

"The eye motif that extends from the elegant menu system to the addictive gameplay is wonderful, including the “iris” you look through as you play — it will open wider and become redder when you collide with dangerous items — to display damage. The sound effects and music are also truly sumptuous." --Bob Mandel, The Adrenaline Vault

"BrainPipe is a great experiment and well worth the $14.95 that Shrapnel Games is asking for it. You reach “Confusion” as an achievement in this game - that’s a testament to Digital Eel’s sense of pushing the envelope in game design and content." --Joseph Vanburen, HarryBalls.com
