Flooz, IIRC.

Each player has their own queue of pieces, and control their own cursor to
place them. You're supposed to work together top make a longer pipe, but it
generally doesn't work that way - a competitive player will try to make
sure that the Flooz goes through his own pieces and not his opponent's
pieces, that way his opponent loses all his points at the end of the round.
Since it's so easy to sabotage your opponent's pipeline, the game tends to
get old fast...
