Live with a Tube

Live with a Tube

After a tragic accident in a secret underground bunker — where crucial scientific experiments were being conducted — everyone has died.
The only survivors are two test subjects, sealed in their life-support tubes: a lab mouse and an oak sapling.

As the AI system of WhitePI Corporation, your mission is to keep them both alive until the toxic gas outside dissipates (estimated 10 days).
Their lives are interconnected — the survival of one depends on the other!

Gameplay

It’s considered quite challenging, so it’s recommended to read this before playing.
Good luck! 🌿🐭

The order of your key presses matters!

1️⃣ Use Q, W, E, R, T to select the resource you want to transfer (for example, press Q for O₂).
2️⃣ Then press A or D to decide the transfer direction.

• Example: Q → D transfers O₂ from the Mouse tube to the Tree tube.

• Example: E → A transfers Water from the Tree tube to the Mouse tube.
  Check the O₂ or Water stats on each side to see the transfer in action.

Press F to go above ground, where you can collect resources:

• Move the pipe left and right with A/D to collect water drops,

• Click on suns with your mouse to collect sunlight.
  All gathered resources are automatically stored in the Tree tube.

Press F again (or click EXIT) to return underground and continue transferring resources.

Controls

Q, W, E, R, T → Select resource
A / Left Arrow → Transfer from Tree → Mouse / Move pipe right
D / Right Arrow → Transfer from Mouse → Tree / Move pipe left
F → Go above ground

Tip: Collect drops with the pipe (A/D), and click the suns to gather them.
