★★★★★ Silent meditation
Sat Jun 04 2022 Apprentice investigatorI love this app. I use it most when I’m anxious. It occupies my brain enough that I don’t ruminate on negative thoughts. Its like a silent meditation that calms me down. It’s satisfying to finish a puzzle. I paid to remove the ads, but I somewhat frequently choose to watch an ad to get an extra vial. This happens especially when frustration is ramping me up and I need to get to the “awesome” screen without re-doing the whole puzzle. I love that I can start over to try a different approach without penalty. I love that there’s no competition to get to a higher level or beat someone else’s score.
I would love to see a toggle for colorblind use. I’m not colorblind but my eyes are getting older so when I have the game open on the dimmest light setting on my phone I can’t tell the difference between the colors. Just turn up the light? Well, I often turn to this game in bed when my brain won’t shut off but I don’t want to wake my partner.
It might also be interesting to see my playing habits in a graph that shows my heart rate. I don’t know if other people react to this game like I do, though.
★★★★★ Love this game, but I’ve had a few recent glitches
Sat May 14 2022 jakrabbitjetpakI absolutely love this game. I love that it’s just straight forward. There’s no daily login, no other game modes. You just do the puzzle and move onto the next. Simple and fun.
However, recently I’ve had a few glitches. The first being my undo button. When you want to backtrack to undo a move you get five free undos before you have to watch an ad. It’s a little annoying because I paid the $2.99 to have ads removed, but it’s not mandatory to use the undo button, so I’m not necessarily complaining about that. My problem is sometimes it glitches and even after watching the ad it doesn’t reset your undo button. It gets stuck in a loop and you could watch three or four ads with no reward.
Secondly, sometimes one of the colors will not have all four blocks it needs to complete the puzzle. It’s happened to me twice now where I’ll complete the puzzle and I’ll only have two dark blue blocks, so I can’t complete the puzzle and have to completely start over. I’m currently on level 299, and the puzzles this far in are much more challenging. It’s so disheartening to get a hard puzzle finished only to have to restart it because the colors are missing from their bottles and you’re stuck.
★★★★★ Fun but absolutely kills battery
Tue Dec 22 2020 D1835I do agree this game is fun and relaxing and it is very easy to just play kind of passively/while not giving it your full attention. I do have a couple complaints though. The first is that there are a lot of ads and some of them are too long. I get the need for ads and I don’t really have a problem with them here or there, but these occur pretty often. What’s more annoying is that some of them are ridiculously long — I’m talking 45 seconds to a minute. These don’t occur often but it happens enough and is pretty annoying when they do. The bigger problem I have with the game though is that it absolutely destroys my battery. This might just be because I’m using an older iPhone (iPhone 8), but I was playing the game for about 5-10 minutes with no other apps open and my phone went from 94% to 76%. Even with a phone that is somewhat old that is ridiculous, and it has pretty much made me get to the point where I can only play the game when I have a charger nearby. Again, this is not to say I don’t like the game itself because it is really fun and easy to play for extended periods of time, but these setbacks do make it difficult to play when I want to.
★★★★★ Really great game!
Mon May 17 2021 Ozwald525354I downloaded this game a couple weeks ago and I’m almost to level 900! It’s very fun to play and I feel like each level is a new challenge and it doesn’t seem too repetitive, which I really love. I also like the option to add a new tube by watching an ad which has been really helpful! However I have noticed one thing that gets a little annoying and that would be the speed of which the liquid pours into the tube. It seems quite slow for me and I wish there was a way in the settings to speed up the pouring. I have also noticed that some of the green and light blue colors are very similar and can sometimes be confusing, and I think it would make this game unplayable for those who are colorblind. I think it would be really cool to add in some type of a coin system where you get like 5 coins for each level you pass and then you can unlock new colors or patterns to help differentiate which one is which. I overall really love this game but I just wish those previously stated items were included within this game to make it even more enjoyable. Overall it is a great game!
★★★★★ great app BUT…
Thu Mar 31 2022 ****banana****I have to say water sort is such an amazing game, I find myself playing all day everyday. whether i’m in the car, home, or outside. I love every level it keeps getting harder and harder. I love everything about this game BUT there is one thing that I despise about it, and that is the ADS I hate ADS and I play a lot, meaning a lot of ADS which is like I said something I really don’t like and i’m sure anyone else who has as many ADS that pop up for me would HATE this game. So please fix the AD problem. whenever i restart the level an AD pops up and if they want to put an AD in order to restart the level they should put a mini icon on the button, but it’s not just then when an AD pops up, it’s also between every level and the other, and if you decide you wanna restart the level another AD comes up. and they are not short ADS they are about 40 seconds long. All i am saying is when you come to download the app be aware of how many ADS you will get. and for the creators of this app i hope they could fix this problem. and i’m sure that many other people are facing this problem so PLEASE be aware, and until the creators fix the app please be careful (also i am on level 44)
★★★★★ Great game but I have suggestions
Wed Jun 21 2023 Luna192009I love this game and play it a lot, but there are a few annoyances/suggestions. One annoyance is it drains my battery quickly. A suggestion I have is to give the player 15 coins per beaten level, because currently, as of writing this review, you can only get coins by watching ads which brings me to annoyance two. This annoyance is that the ads don’t work for me, they used to. I’ve completely closed the app twice and restarted my phone. Because of this I cannot earn coins and can’t buy new backgrounds or bottles. The last annoyance I have is there are not as many bottles as there are in the ads.
On the positive side, this is an entertaining game I could play for hours. The background and bottles you start with aren’t bad and the levels are too repetitive. This is because there are more bottles added every so often, but from my experience and according to other reviews, it never excedes two rows. Every once and a while there are levels where you only see the color closet to the top, unless you have poured a color over a previous reveled color. There are also daily levels that are challenging. Thanks for reading this far!
★★★★★ Burns Your Phone & Lags
Tue Nov 21 2023 LIMsArtI won’t deny that this game is pretty fun and relaxing, however, for some odd reason it makes my iPhone super hot which is weird because only super high graphics games would do that but this game is far too simple to be causing that (Pokemon Go works just fine on my phone and doesn’t get hot nor drains the battery fast) so I’m just so confused as to why the phone has to work so hard to run this particular game and it becomes too uncomfortable to play for a long period of time not to mention the battery drains really fast so I have to keep the phone plugged in if I want to play for a long period of time. The game also starts to lag pretty bad after a while making it almost unplayable. Another issue I have is all the ads. You get an ad every single time you reset the game if you make a mistake. It would be nice to at least be able to get 4-5 resets in before being forced to watch an ad. They obviously do this on purpose to get people to buy the ad-free version. I would be willing to change 2 stars into 5 if they somehow figure out how to fix the issue with the battery draining quick and causing the phone to get super hot as well as the awful lag issues. (But I doubt it)
★★★★★ The game would be fun, if it was playable
Tue Feb 23 2021 Rook1248The game itself is enjoyable; the levels are relaxing and tend to be a good level of challenge. Ads are fairly frequent, but not enough to be a problem. The real issue with this game is that it is quite literally unplayable.
I made it to level 28 with no problems, but as soon as I hit 29 things went downhill. Every few times I’d try to shift a color from one phial to another, the game would freeze for anywhere from 5-30 seconds before resuming. By level 32, it was every other transfer, and the game would sometimes crash and close itself, losing all progress on the level. I was on 33 when I gave up and deleted the app after a solid 10-15 attempts to play the level, each of which was cut short by a crash.
Did I mention the overheating? I am using an IPhone 10, which is a few years old but hasn’t caused any problems with any other app. This one caused it to get painfully hot within three minutes of use at a maximum. Hot to the extent that my IPhone once shut itself down because the temperature was too high, a feature I genuinely didn’t know they had. I would have deleted this game a long time ago, but the gameplay (when you can actually play it) is enjoyable.
So, yeah. 4/5 for gameplay, but 0/5 stars for crashing while turning my phone into a ball of plasma.
