The Plumber Thing: Early Years
A downloadable hup! for Windows
Long before the events of The Plumber Thing, Martin was just a normal plumber, living his life in Brooklyn and doing what one must to make ends meet. This is his story.
Control Marty with either the keyboard or a gamepad to guide him through the busy thoroughfares and urban sprawl. At times you'll even encounter objects Marney can pick up and move about!
Just try not to fall from too high. Marlin hasn't even heard of the term "leg day".

I beat the game, very fun! Some levels required a lot of finesse. I believe I cheated the coin count. Picked up every coin in all levels, but the final count said I was missing 4.
Then I noticed the very last coin you can get wasn't being saved by the flag checkpoint, so I collected it, went to the flag and respawned for a while, effectively farming that coin until I reached the final score of 120/119. Is this intended? and if it isn't, can I get a tip on where to find the remaining coins or how to check the amount of coins on each level?
Thanks! That's not intended; I'll need to fix the coin count a bit (including making the Control + E returning to earlier levels not break the coin counter in a similar way). There's currently no easy way to check for coin counts per level, but there're only 2 levels where the coins aren't directly visible (one is the final level with the bugged block you mentioned, another is the level where you need to get an enemy through a maze).
yooooooooooo
Really tough. I can see why Matthew opted to become a grotesque abomination of flesh.
Meow! A highly puzzle-oriented action game that looks nothing like what you expect!
Simply jumping leads to failure, so you must think carefully about every move! 😼 The thrill and depth make it an incredibly fun experience, meow!
After clearing all stages, I went back to the final stage after collecting missed coins, and the coins kept increasing to the maximum, meow~! 🐱💰
The game is amazing!! Damn, jumping is way too intuitive, it's incredible how many times I jumped unnecessarily >:CCC
Resetting a completed level softlocks the game - the level restarts, but the player can't move, even after further resets.
Ah, thank you! I've updated the game; hopefully the issue is gone now.
There maaaayyy be something wrong with this stage? The Groombro just doesn't make this jump, despite the height of the spring bounce it doesn't manage to climb on the platform there, and I have no idea how else to solve this level
Other than that, pretty fun game so far!
That level is probably the most finicky one; the goombs don't keep moving horizontally in midair if they meet a wall, so it's easy to get them stuck there. I might need to adjust things...
wait, you can have two springs for that part?
Yup, there's a way to safely return with the second springboard
That would have been a lot easier.
Best ankle-spraining action I’ve seen in years
It's a cruel twist of fate the Morton can jump higher than Marwin can survive falling.
Maxwell should be careful with his footing, there’s a bunch of folks out there who are super out to get Macaulay.
