WHERE'S MY WATER

The reason why I'm doing this game is because lately, a great deal of people have been complaining about the recent update when Disney released Allie's Story as an IAP. 
Personally I think this game is great and the IAP purchases are optional so I don't agree with the dozens of people telling Disney that their greedy and money grabbing. Personal, I think the game has a great price, heaps of original levels and beautifully designed level pack

COST: 1.39NZ/0.99US

REVIEW: Basically the aim of the game is to get enough water to Swampy to allow him to take a shower. It might sound easy but believe me-the game is easy to learn but incredibly difficult to master. Heaps of challenges await you: poison water, green ooze, switches, pressure plates, balloons and heaps more.  
Buying the IAP purchases give you heaps more levels but if you don't, the game is still super. 
Weekly levels are available for free each week and feature a level from each of the level packs: Swampy, Allie, Cranky & Mystery Duck


You can also access the Lost Levels for free by scrolling to the furthest page to the right. 
The Lost Levels include thirty levels so far divided into three level packs: Hearts & Crafts; Ten Days of Swampy and Days of Summer. There is also a level pack in the Lost Levels called Weekly Rewind which features all the Swampy Weekly Levels so far. 

IN APP PURCHASES


Cranky's Story was the first additional level pack to be released and the goal in this game is to bring enough water to Cranky to clean off the green mold sprouting on his food. 
The gameplay is the same methods only your using poison water instead of clear water. It also features missing objects and four level packs of twenty levels each making Cranky's Story give you another 80 levels. 
The level packs are more challenging than Swampy's Story. Level packs are: Cranky's First Course, Hunger Pains, Bulking Up & Overstuffed. Some of the Swampy levels include extra difficult Cranky Challenges. 


The Mystery Duck level pack is personally my favorite although I'm lately trying to try-duck all of the Swampy levels which is why I've only completed twenty-six levels. 
Instead of trying to fill three ducks with water like the other level packs, you only have to collect one duck but YOU MUST COLLECT THIS DUCK to pass the level. The duck can (so far) teleport to different places often carving up the dirt and making the level more difficult, split into ten, grow huge so it requires more water to collect it and dart up and down. 
The level packs are the same as in Swampy's Story and the levels are the same but more challenging as the Mystery Duck has plenty of tricks. 
The level packs are: Meet Swampy; Troubled Waters, Under Pressure, Sink or Swim, Change is Good, Boiling Point, Stretched Thin, Caution to the Wind, Rising Tide & Out to Dry. There are 200 levels just like the original game. There are also Mystery Duck challenges featured in the Swampy levels. 


Allie's Story was only just released so I've only played about ten levels but so far so good. The gameplay is good but the aims are slightly different just like in the other IAPs. 
In this story, Allie has had a piano built for her by the other crocodiles but needs steam to power it. You need to get her steam. Normal water won't work and you are faced with the fact that steam doesn't travel DOWN. There are ways to force it to go down but I'll leave you to figure it out. 
There are four level packs planned but two are labeled "Coming Soon". The ones available are: Warming Up & Tuning In. There are also Allie Challenges featured in some of the Swampy Levels. 



I hope you enjoyed the review. If you have any inquiries email me at pawpalsnz88@hotmail.com
