Intro

It's your first day as Chief Connections Engineer for the region.

There are a growing number of Data Centers being built and it's your job to connect them to The Grid. Keep the power, water, and money flowing! Failure to connect a data center in time will not be tolerated!

Description

The Grid is a small infrastructure building game about connecting and maintaining a rapidly expanding network of Data Centers.
Build power and water generation, connect buildings up with your pipe tool, and keep the economy stable. Each level rewards you with a bonus to help expand your Grid.

Controls / help

Use the Pipe Tool to connect buildings and expand The Grid.
You must connect the Data Centers and fulfil their Power/Water demand before their construction is complete.
