The subtle doppler effect on the constant and schizophrenic audio visual assault positions you squarely inside the game in ways that most struggle at.

I'll recommend this because it is free.
I don't know what this is trying to achieve. Lawnmower man and unused Future Sound of London samples is all that comes to mind. There is progression but I don't know what it means. Maybe you can play it and shed some light on it for me.
It says I have 11 minutes played, but I've played through this game off Steam, way back in 2008.
It's a first person endless tunnel where you guide your mouse cursor through narrow openings, avoid obstacles, and collect score multipliers. There's a slow-mo button for delicate maneuvers. It's very hypnotic in terms of looks and sounds and gameplay. Gets you into a trance. I find it very compelling. If nothing else, it gets points for being different. Give it a try, you'll probably like it.
I like it a lot.
Do you remember those sections from Sly Cooper 3 where you play as Dimitri, swimming through these underwater tunnels and avoiding giant crab claws and other similar obstacles? Did you ever want to take acid and then have that as an entire game to itself? Well, you're in luck, because that's BRAINPIPE in a nutshell.

TLDR: Its is good for a free game. Play Networm or the Collider for a better overall experience.
The concept - tone - and visual presentation is very interesting. The execution, controls, and staying power as a PC entertainment product are lacking. Making it Free to Play was doing everybody a solid. Worth experiencing once. I have... Removing for declutter now.
For a better polished, better controlled experience that can actually improve your FPS aiming and help you streamline your desk ergonomics I would suggest this instead :

This is free now, eh? In that case I need to heartily recommend it. It's not a long game, it's not a deep game, but it'll get your adrenaline pumping.
Fly through a trippy tunnel very fast and try not to hit the bad stuff. Challenging, impressive atmosphere, good old fashioned fun.
If you keep missing the paradigm shifts
or your world ended in 2012.
This time tunnel will reveal all the things that you missed.

Meh,kinda neat but I've played versions of the same game I liked more . I didn't give it as fair a chance as I should have because I've many games to try, maybe I'll try later.

You are a being of some kind, traveling through some psychedelic pipeline, collecting runes along the way until you achieve a state of unhumanity. There's 10 runes per level that you have to collect in order to gain a master rune ( I guess). Collecting all 10 runes plus the master rune at the end will elevate you to the next stage of being.
The pipeline does change color and sometimes you hear voices or other audio effects but its all background noise. The music isnt harsh on the ears but I'm not sure I would pop it into the player for hours on end though. Said pipes are also home to diverse perils, such as green spines sticking out from the side walls, or spinning purple-pink plasma disks, There's also a cage type feature that you have to pass through as well. If you hit any of these obstacles, your display ( if you can call it that) flashes red and you hear a buzzing-warning-klaxon type sound. (very short though)
You do speed up as the levels progress so quick reflexes are good to have. I have not beaten this game yet so I do not know how it ends. But, if odd pipeline-tunnel travel games are your thing, by all means, jump into the pipe and enjoy.

That circle split into sections that you see in the screenshots; that's you ( a Third Eye, if you will). You navigate through the head to the brain from the nose collecting glyphs - sentiments, sensations, thoughts/ideas - avoiding everything else.
You'r body needs (the essence of/that is) YOU; does not want to see you cease to be you; transcend to UnHuman.
You (that circle) follow/guide the mouse cursor, click and hold to slow yourself - immune system (as it were) is unaffected.
Option to use controller, have not tried yet. I am bad at KB+M but I still feel the movement might be just a little (")off("). This might be because the tunnel twists and turns, but when there are consecutive glyphs slightly offset, I detect what I feel might be some sort of mouse acceleration (System's is set tof Off).
The game is the screenshots but fast-paced. Unlike several other games that BRAINPIPE could be compared to (probably strictly citing visuals), BRAINPIPE can keep most enthralled simply because it requires skill/focus.
I recommend this game because it's a good game.
Wow. That word sums up the feeling, the experience, the game...and though it may not be for everyone, I have the feeling of 'where have you been all my life', when enjoying Brainpipe. The premise is simple enough...go through ths first-person-perpective obstacle course, avoid all objects other than these heiroglyph symbols...yet it is challenging, and each playthrough feels different. The thing, though, is the visuals and the audio, as it is almost psychotropic, and even when you screw up you can feel the huge grin on your face, because the experience itself is like nothing I've seen(or heard, for that matter). I generally like runners or casual obstacle games, like 'The Collider' which is newer than this, or the runners like Race the Sun, TEC 3001 or FOTONICA, which are also newer. and all of those have somewhat 'trippy' visuals to add to the visceral feel in the games, but this has to be the king of trippy...sights and sounds dazzle you as you try to get through level 10 here and grab that heiroglyph if you can...and it certainly works for me. It probably is the kind of game to play in short spurts, as it can overwhelm the senses after a while, yet I find myself craving this game on occasion, and would caution against epileptics or folks seizure-prone playing this game. If ever there's a Brainpipe 2, however, count me in...and for two bucks you can find more potential thrills, huge grins and giddy laughter from the sensation, and reasons to play again, than for many top-dollar titles out there.
A pipeline game with a colourful background and okay music. The idea is to collect symbols along the way to accrue points for the stages. Okay if you llike that sort of thing, but I wouldn't pay too much to try it out.
Great sound, good visuals, and fun words. Got in on sale for $0.99 and I think it was worth it, just for the enjoyable experience. Also fits really well with certain music, like Pete Namlook & Bill Laswell's "From the Earth to the Ceiling", Biosphere's "Baby Interphase", or Boards of Canada's "An Eagle in Your Mind" (try some!). It's a fun, trippy experience into the mind... the most dangerous place we'll ever know!
There isn't really a lot to Brainpipe but that's OK. It's a game where you zoom through a tunnel at speed, grab glyphs and avoid anything that's likely to kill you (that's pretty much everything that isn't a glyph, really).
And doesn't it sound so terminally dull when you put it like that? (YES, IT DOES)
Is it terminally dull? Nope. it is so very far from terminally dull! Rejoice.
There's a couple of things that really make Brainpipe special. One is the graphics which, y'know, aren't quite up to the full Minter they're certainly not far off. It's like flying through someone's fevered attempt at a 70's Doctor Who title sequence or what might happen if someone sat down and said "Mr Trumbull, could you make us a videogame please" or something.
The other is the sound. Oh man, the sound. This is the stuff of headphones on, turn it up, sit back and enjoy. Or just turn it up really loud if you can't manage that. Parts of the soundtrack wibble in and out of focus, sounds zip around you ear to ear, it's one long Any Colour You Like ride but a little bit more strange.
It's essentially the full audio/visual woooah there. Which is just fine. I love it to bits. I love it for its simplicity, I love it for its graphics and I love it for its sound but I love it most of all because it's so very pure and unfiltered. It's slightly weirdy, slightly askew and all the woah there. I couldn't ask for much more.
I found this to be one of the strangest games I have encountered. It is basically a reflex and control game that offer no instructions. There is discovery, which is most of the game experience. Even with that, I still couldn't find myself liking the game.
Perhaps the experience that this game offers is not for me. Maybe I'll try it again someday but not anytime soon.
I give this game a "Not my cup of coffee OUT OF 5".
This game is bullcrap. Everytime I open it it flashes white and red then crashes. It is a total waste of money and I would like to request my money back. I sat there for five minutes trying to open this so that I could right a review. I am extrememly pissed off and would like my money back. I do not care if you take it from my inventory but I would like my money back.
Rating 0/1000000
Okay, this game is fucking awesome.
It's the kind of game you play once every few weeks, but for the rest of your life. Great if you randomly feel like immersing yourself in a richly aurally-textured half-axon half-multiverse tunnel with a pace ranging from narcoleptic to highly spasmodic.
The actual goal is collecting glyphes embodying tiered concepts, with a final one marking a progression we'll get back to; all while avoiding obstacles as your speed slowly increases with each level.
For instance, level 1 is the nasal ganglia, with concepts such as "peculiar insight" or "nervous laugh" and the final glyph being Awareness.
The gameplay also involves the ability to, holy fucking shit, SLOW DOWN TIME. The game really has a particular relation to time in general, as you slow down the sound environment as well and pausing temporally stucks you in one audio piece. Said pieces otherwise naturally flow with the game.
While all golden glyphes make you "progress", and the general goal is to collect everything, the game has one and only one condition for winning : collecting the very final glyph, Unhumanity. Completing a playthrough rewards you with the ability to choose an in-game avatar from a variety of monsters. As for what happens when you miss the glyph... I'll let you see for yourself.
So in short, exceedingly fun, love the overall feel of the game, EXTREMELY underrated on steam. It's one of those little games that have a special place in my heart. Maybe literally given the environment.
This game, BRAINPIPE, is an odd little gem. I don't play it a lot, but I come back to it every time I have a late evening need to put my mind somewhere else. With bizarrely tranquil music, you find your eyes glued to the screen as your existence is ripped from your body and you're floating there with the game's giant eye. You tumble and fall through a tunnel of sight and sound. And when you finally land, you return to yourself a little more at peace.
This is a great endurance course game. The interface is a marvel of simplicity and the audio and visuals have to be experienced to be believed. It's a simple game that does what it's supposed to do supremely well. And what it does is manifest your membranes across five dimensions.
This game consists entirely of dodging obstacles while flying through the opening to Doctor Who. Along the way you'll pick up various hydrocarbon chains, most of which are butane, but 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane does make an appearance (for all you 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane fans out there or "1,1-dimethylcyclopropane-iacs").
The options menu allows adjustment of music and sound effects and nothing else. So if you l find the controls too sensitive, as I did, then too bad.
So far I've only gotten to level nine. Doing so took 20 minutes. I'd be surprised if this game is longer than an hour. Without any evidence to the contrary, I'm forced to assume that the game's brevity is to make sure it doesn't get repetitive.
If flying through an abstract something-or-another while dodging stuff sounds fun, then buy "1... 2... 3... Kick It!"
If you feel that you must buy this game, then wait for it to go on sale first, it isn't long enough for $10. Also, consider checking into rehab, hippie.
A Strange Game Where you travel through down pipes/levels of increasing difficulty. Your character is nothing more then a circle on the screen that you move around avoiding all the diffrent obstacles and collecting the glyphs in each level to increase your score. You can activate a short slow-mo ability for those tricky parts when you need to dodge a tough series of obstacles or get a gplyh. Its a unique experience with a surreal soundtrack and audio effects to accompany it simple but oddly engaing gameplay experience.
