Wheres My Water
SCORE: 96
Disney Mobile is quickly becoming a top
tier publishers on the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. This is the second
game in a row we have reviewed for them that has been extremely awesome.
This little alligator Swampy wants to take a shower. To do so he needs
our help. He needs
water. So our goal in Where's My Water? is to move the water from
where it is to his pipe works. Simple right? Do you think there would be
one hundred levels if it was all easy?
The Disney graphics are loud and proud in Where's My Water?. Swampy
looks like he came from a Disney franchise. He is a lot of fun to help
out. The various colors used in Where's My Water? are great. They
contrast, and work well in the different environments. At the start of
each new world is a piece of art work showing what is going on. Swampy
is not exactly the most respected alligator. The others don't like him.
I learned various tricks while playing Where's My Water? on the
iPhone/iPod Touch. I am not sure if it was mold or grass, but whatever
it is - it will grow if you water it. So avoid those, or use acid to
remove them. Just don't send the acid into Swampy's pipe. He will not
appreciate that kind of a shower.
The music in Where's My Water? is upbeat, fun, and fresh. The water
sound fit this game like a glove. I loved hearing them, although I found
myself going to the bathroom more often. Swampy will celebrate when you
get him his shower, and cry when it fails. I found no offensive language
while playing Where's My Water? on the iPhone/iPod Touch.
Not only are there currently one hundred levels for ninety-nine cents,
there are more coming. How cool is that? We were provided a download
code for this review. With that said, I believe Where's My Water? is
worth the cost. Especially now that I have personally played it. This
app will make you think, but in a really fun way. Just remember there is
more to physics than gravity.
The controls are extremely simple and easy in Where's My Water?. Swipe
your hand to remove things like dirt. The water moves very
realistically. There are also certain pipes that can be used to shoot
water out. The only control I am not keen on is the bar to the left to
move the screen up and down for larger levels. I could never remember to
use it. So I was swiping the screen trying to get it to move.
Families can learn about basic water movement, and physics. I also
learned to plan a course of action before moving. Action without
thinking will not always win the day in Where's My Water?. Some levels
do require some quick movement. I look forward to updates to this
franchise, and would love to see a full sequel at some future date.
Where's My Water? is one of those fun, fresh apps that stands up with
some other great names.

UPDATE{05/20/2012}
It has been seven months since I reviewed Where's My Water? on the iPod
Touch/iPhone/iPad. Normally once a review is written we are done with a
product. Disney Mobile would not let Where's My Water? be forgotten.
They updated it, and updated it, and updated it. There are now over
three hundred levels in Where's My Water?. That is triple the size of
its initial launch. So we decided it was time to update the review. All
of those levels are added without any more cost to the consumer. With
the exception of Cranky's Challenges. Which are much more difficult.
Where's My Water? has proven to be an amazing value. This is one of the
few apps I go back and replay every single time an update comes out. In
fact Where's My Water? is a complete and total craze every single time
there is an update. We inhale the levels here at Family Friendly Gaming.
The design is intelligent, and I am proud to say that I have triducked
every single level in Where's My Water?. I have also found all of the
hidden items. Where's My Water? earns the Family Friendly Gaming seal of
approval, and is the first game to earn it on updates.
