I'm one of those people who is completely unqualified to fix... uh... anything... and yet I always have to try... usually making things worse in the process. What I'm saying is if you ever need any sort of home repair and don't think "take it apart, then hit it" is a valid course of action, you should probably call Pastel Games' Plumber Pickle... but he might be busy for a while, since the leak he's been called on to fix in this point-and-click adventure/escape game needs more elbow grease and creative thinking than usual. Just click to move around, interact, and use items, keeping an eye on the cursor for when it changes to see hotspots.
Your goal is just to fix the leak and then find a way out, since the door apparently broke behind you on your way in because... I don't know... you slammed it too hard with your burly plumber strength or something. Way to go. Like all Pastel Games titles, Plumber Pickle is stylish and has a few surprises up its sleeve that means this is anything but your ordinary repair job. The art is lovely, though the soundtrack gets annoyingly repetitive after just a few loops, and the game has a few seriously adorable moments. With relatively straight-forward puzzles and a snack-sized length contained to just a few areas, it's unlikely Plumber Pickle is going to stump anyone for long, but Pastel Games' signature style and charm make this one well worth the few minutes it'll take you. And hopefully, we haven't seen the last of our mustachioed slacker... maybe he'll even do some work himself in the next installment!

Good Ending
You start the game facing the broken kitchen sink. Use the PLUNGER on the sink to pull out the BRASS KEY, then pick up the key from the floor.
Take the PLATE from the left side of the kitchen counter.
Click the large cabinet door directly under the sink to zoom in.
Open the door and take the box of SOAP inside.
Back up, then click the four cabinets under the left side of the counter for a closer look.
Open the upper right drawer to find the PINCERS.
Click the left side of the screen to turn towards the exit door.
Note that the door knob is broken beyond repair, you'll have to find some way to break it open.
Take the SMALL VASE on the shelf to the left of the door.
Grab the WOMEN'S HAT on top of the hat stand.
Turn left again to face the dining table.
Remove the TABLE CLOTH from the table and the FLOWER from the pink coat hanging on the left chair.
Turn left one more time to face the refrigerator.
Open the left cabinet door and take the SANDWICH from the top shelf.
Note: Please complete this step before interacting with the fridge, as this hot spot can be difficult to click once the fridge has moved in front of the cabinet.
Click the top of the fridge for a close-up view.
Open the freezer door to look inside.
Use the PINCERS to remove the FREON CAN from the icy freezer.
Back away to zoom out, then inspect the lower half of the fridge.
Open the refrigerator door by clicking the handle, then take the bottle of BEER at the left side of the lower shelf.
Move back once and then click the plug at the lower right side of the fridge to plug it into the wall.
The fridge will bounce towards the left, revealing a large hole in the wall.
Click the hole to zoom in, then click it again to go through the hole and into the mine.
Click the mine car beside the door to look inside and take the HORN.
Back up, then click the left side of the screen to turn left towards the door.
Use the BRASS KEY to unlock the door. Click the opened door to go inside the room.
Examine the sign hanging above the table.
The picture shows a few items that should look familiar. Below those items is a plaque that reads "Lunch Break".
First place the TABLE CLOTH on top of the table. Next, put the bottle of BEER on the table, followed by the VASE, then the FLOWER, then the PLATE, and finally the SANDWICH.
Exit the room and turn right. The path is now clear and the miner has gone to the side room you just left to take his lunch break. Continue forward to the bath tub.
Click the tub for a closer look.
Pour the box of SOAP into the bath water to reveal the green creature bathing in the tub.
Take the MASK off the creature's face.
Back away from the tub, then move forward to find a sleeping green creature.
Use the HORN to wake the creature up.
The scene will automatically change to the creature standing beside the leaky pipe.
If you click the creature, he will point to a sign above his head that says "Work Safely" and shows an image of a man wearing safety goggles and a hard hat.
Click the left side of the screen to turn left towards a female creature.
Give the WOMEN'S HAT to her and pick up the HARD HAT that falls to the ground.
Take the SPRINKLE BOTTLE on top of the small chest of drawers.
Next, take the CABLE being used as a clothes line.
Turn right to face the worker creature again.
Give this creature the HARD HAT and the GOGGLES from your inventory.
Now if you click him, he'll point to the machine at his left.
Plug the CABLE into the machine. The creature can now use his drill to repair the leaky pipe.
Move back four times to return to the kitchen, then turn left twice to face the exit door.
Select the FREON CAN and combine it with the SPRINKLE BOTTLE in your inventory.
Use the SPRINKLE BOTTLE WITH FREON on the door knob to break the door open.
Go through the opened door to complete the game and receive the Good Ending!

Follow the steps in the "Good Ending" walkthrough until you reach the point where you take the SPRINKLE BOTTLE from the chest of drawers by the female green creature.
Immediately return to the kitchen and then move left twice to face the exit.

Select the FREON CAN and combine it with the SPRINKLE BOTTLE in your inventory.
Use the SPRINKLE BOTTLE WITH FREON on the door knob to break the door open.
Go through the opened door to complete the game and receive the Bad Ending.
