Water Connect Puzzle Reviews

I love these types of games, but all too often they’re just level after level of simple puzzles, with no real challenge. This is a surprising exception. The levels do get progressively more difficult, and many of them require some real thought and consideration to solve.

Where it needs work: Sadly, the game does drain my battery quickly; I only play more than 1 or 2 levels if I’m charging my phone; it also seems to overheat my phone . If this proves to be a long-term problem, I may decide to ditch the game, but I hope not.

I’ve seen other reviews mention having to watch a full ad after every level, but I’m not experiencing that. An ad after every level, yes, but all of them have a close option after 5 seconds or so. BUT some of the ads do “glitch” when you try to close them; it shows the x to close, but when I tap it, it takes me to the download page, sometimes several times in a row on the same ad. I realize this is not a problem with the game, but with the ad itself. And it’s maybe one ad in 20 that does this. All in all, worth the download at least.

Wanted to leave a review because this is one of the few games out there that actually advertises the actual game you play. Unlike Homescapes, Fishdom, and a million other apps on the market that advertise one thing and then the game itself is COMPLETELY different (and ends up costing quite a bit of money just for it to be even possible to continue), THIS game is actually exactly how it shows in the ads. Super refreshing due to that fact alone, however, I’ve also very much enjoyed WaterConnectPuzzle itself. True puzzle. Each level is different and increases with difficulty gradually. Despite the fact there’s ads, as in any app nowadays, there’s only one after each level (with options to watch additional ads for hints), this does game does not require in-app purchases to progress. Very much enjoying my experience thus far.

I have never reviewed a game, but this one I just had too. The color blending levels really resonate with my visual creativity. I love this game, it’s been a week and I find myself on level 230 something. It’s peaceful and not impossible to figure out. No stressful timers and demands interrupting your zen. I would like to see this game progress to buying away the ads for a single fee, and more levels with multi colored options because they are the most intriguing and difficult. I have yet to find another game that uses primary colors to create secondary colors that are incorporated into the puzzle. However, there are more colors that could be utilized. A general “how to play” would be helpful, with a main menu showing what level you are on (easy, medium, hard, expert) and how many levels are left. Right now, I feel like I am simply rotating through previous levels and I have no idea if it will ever end.

No time limits. No penalties. Just me and the puzzle. And twice so far in 132 puzzles I had to start over because I left one unconnected and couldn’t fix it. Second time - Aha! I LOVE THIS GAME. Me and my brain. Nothing random thrown at me. No stupid side tracks. No annoying interrupts. Just figure it out. I love it. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I’m 70. Been looking for this since I got my first iPhone. And you don’t bug me to buy crap to help me. God bless you. Now. One issue. I’m watching the wheel of death for my 16th hour. I finished a level and it’s stuck trying to go to an ad. I think my only option is to delete and reinstall which means losing all my data and starting from puzzle one. Happens in every single game app I’ve ever played. This is the first time I don’t want to do it. I don’t want to lose my data. I WORK at this game! Any options?

Saw this as an ad in a different game and decided to give it a go. Instantly got hooked as I very much like puzzle games. Some levels are easy and some are a little tougher. Definitely a nice change of pace and a quick go to as a break from other work or gaming.

Couple suggestions:

1. I would pay for WaterConnectPuzzle if it meant I didn’t have to watch an ad after every level. I understand that’s how free games work, but give me an option for an ad-free experience and I am positive I wouldn’t be the only one to hop aboard.

2. I have seen other reviews suggesting a screen where you can see the levels you’ve already beaten and possibly go back and play them again. This would obviously only make sense if there were a three star (or however many you want) rating system for each level you beat. Then you could go back and see if you can beat your old high score.

3. If you really wanted to expand the game, you could have a level creator where users could make their own puzzles and submit for others to play. This might be something you could only do in a paid version of WaterConnectPuzzle , but might be fun and entice a few more users to download WaterConnectPuzzle .

Overall, glad I found this game and am really enjoying it. Thanks!

I’ve been playing a lot of mobile games lately and there are a lot of ads for other games and that’s why I download and delete a lot of them. When I saw the ad for this game, it looked really fun so I tried it and after a level or two I immediately bought the full version.

I love the game so much that I don’t want the fun to end. I put it down after a handful of puzzles out of fear that I might run out… 😰 To make matters worse, I get app reminders to come play and it makes me want to play even more! To the developers; I love the game, please keep adding more levels and cosmetics! 😌💜

If you are still reading this; buy the full version, you won’t regret it if you love puzzle games!

I tend to cycle through apps like these really quickly before getting bored, but I’ve been hooked on this one for over a week. Whoever I close my eyes, all I see are networks of rivers and junctions, like when you play Tetris for too long.

The idea is simple but still challenging, and I don’t think I’ve gotten the same puzzle twice in over 250 levels so far.

There are a few things keeping this from a perfect score though. I wish there was a “remove ads” option, even if it costs a buck or two. I’d also like to see an undo button. When you use a hint, once the squares are turned where they should be, it would be great if they would lock into place so you can’t accidentally mess it up and waste another hint trying to put it back. Those are really my only gripes with it, I’m low key addicted to this otherwise.

I’m above level 1268 because this game is so calming and peaceful. Enough challenge to require some thought, with elements that are routine enough to be meditative. And when every plant is connected, and you turn the fountains so that the water flows, it’s beautiful and satisfying. I find it mesmerizing.

So why 4 stars? At level 1258 and 1268 the manner of play is so different that if it becomes the norm I’ll probably quit. The pipes are invisible until water flows into them. And the game play is completely different and the rewarding feeling of watching the water flow to all the plants at the end is lost. For me the essential zen feeling is gone in that mode.

Minor thing… sometimes the game is “won” before the water actually flows to all the plants; that’s been true for a lot of levels. It’s less satisfying, but okay.

I gave this game a 1-star review and it was for the sole reason of the ads. At this day in age every game you get for your phone has ads, unless if you pay to not have them, but getting an ad after every level is already irritating enough, but to go as far as not letting me close out the ad unless if I download it is just ridiculous. Now I know that sometimes you have to give it a few seconds for the close out button to pop up, but it didn’t and the only thing I could do was click on the ad and it would bring me up to download it. I tried this, because sometime if you click on the ad and open it up then close it and go back to the game then the close button could pop up, but literally the only thing it would do is try and force me to download WaterConnectPuzzle and that to me is absolutely ridiculous and I refuse to play any game that tries to force something on you. Will not be playing this game from here on.

Best puzzle game I’ve found in a long while. It’s multi-dimensional in that you have the connections dimension (water flow path must be correct) and the color dimension. Very clever and intriguing.

Also, as you learn and improve you can actually develop a strategy for attacking the solution. My strategy is evolving as I am on level 140-ish and the quest for a better and better strategy adds another dimension to the intrigue. If your strategy hits a dead end, you can still solve the puzzles via trial-and-error, albeit somewhat anxiety/boosting.

Some levels are brutal, but then others are ego-boosting. It feels like I am a long way from tiring of these challenges.

If you want a game with positive feedback and no negative penalties, this is the game for you! Especially if you enjoy watching the water fill the pipes.

However,Without any timer, without any score, without any group challenges, this game tends to get boring. You have to make up your own challenges in this game because after about 15 levels it stops getting any harder. I liked to try and connect all of the pipes correctly before turning on the spigot. However even that got old. I quit at level 312.
The only levels that were still interesting were those that had multiple colors that mix. However most of the levels are single color. I kept going thinking it might get more challenging, but no.

The fountains are yellow, blue and red. Some trees are purple, some trees are white and one is yellow. So I put yellow to yellow. Now I manipulate the red fountain to go thru the ducts, water most of the trees, and put the blue fountain to the last of the trees. When I click on hint ads pop up but no hint. What am I not seeing….all the trees are watered even though the colors can not match. Help! Otherwise, it has been fun. Needs a tutorial to explain what happens when colors do not match.

Update: tricky…mixing red and blue fountains make purple water to purple trees. By accident, found that purple water and yellow water make white for the white trees. What fun!

Changed review to five stars!

The game is great and addictive. My problem is, out of all the games I have on my phone, and there are a lot of them, this is the only one that slows my phone down and locks up. My phone starts to heat up real bad, I have to close WaterConnectPuzzle . None of my other apps do this. I use an iPhone 6s. The other problem, besides all of the ads, is that when I have to stop the game, and close WaterConnectPuzzle , once I reopen to continue play, it takes me back about 4 or 5 levels. I am at level 355 now, and I have played a lot of these levels 5 or 6 times just to get back to where I left off. Because this is the only app that causes problems in my phone, I would say it has a few bugs to fix.

I throughly enjoy these type of logic problem puzzles and it is great for getting you thing about things from different directions. Some of the puzzles are easy and make you feel good, others are challenging. I have no problem with that, in fact I enjoy it. Two request. One would be a help screen that tells you basic game rules, Like are supposed to use all the tiles or not. The biggest one is when you have used a hint, those tiles should have birder around them and/or not be able to rotate. If is very frustrating to use a hint and then walk away and when you come, you can’t remember the adjustment the hint made. I am locking in a game I may never win because of it.

incredibly fun and satisfying, love the simplicity of it but also how pretty the game itself is. been looking for a puzzle game like this for a while and i’m glad i finally found one.
some problems (but not enough to stop me from playing):
1. the ads are a bit annoying, i watch on airplane mode to avoid them. there are ads after EVERY level and at the bottom of the screen, and it gives you the choice to either continue, or watch an ad for 5x coins, but either way you end up watching an ad.
2. the theme/background choices are nice, but some of them (particularly winter) contrast too much with the water colors. then once you’ve unlocked them all you can’t do anything with the coins! you have to watch an ad to get a hint so what am i supposed to buy after i’ve unlocked everything?
3. not sure if anyone else has this problem, but this game makes my phone heat up QUICK, makes me have to take breaks just so my phone can cool down. not sure why.

overall, incredibly fun but could use a few changes.

This isn’t the most difficult game I’ve ever played, but it’s super relaxing, and it’s so satisfying when the water pours through as you click that last puzzle piece into place. I don’t love paying for in-app purchases, but definitely shell out the three bucks or whatever it is to get rid of the ads. It makes all the difference. I’ve recommended this game to a ton of people, and I never really do that.

My only feedback would be that the screen to change theme and background is not intuitive, and I haven’t really figured it out, but I don’t care enough to knock it down a star. This game is great.

As others have noted, the various layouts often require a lot of ingenuity to solve. Having exercised the ingenuity to solve a level, however, the game almost immediately HIDES the completed layout from you with an obscuring overlay. There is no way to remove the overlay to see the result of your hard work. This is pretty obnoxious. I should mention that anyone who really digs this kind of puzzle should look at “Noodles” and the new “Noodles 2.” Both of these puzzles offer extensive and challenging connection scenarios, and they do not run ads constantly. Overall they are harder than this game, and perhaps that would be a point against them for some folks.

I just passed level 300 and am still enjoying this game. The levels are still getting gradually more difficult and do not seem to be repeating. The game is as advertised. There are ads, but too many and you can play the game for free. Thank you to the developers for giving me such a good game!
A couple of minor changes I would like: It would be nice to have the option to look at a finished puzzle for a while after it is done, instead of it immediately going away. I would also like to be able to replay past levels.

The slow build up of difficulty is great and it does remain a good enough challenge after lvl 100, as not all the pieces are used every level and multiple colors are sometimes used.
I’ve had really easy three color puzzles, boggling single color puzzles, and vice versa.
The hint button is up there in the corner for the cost of an ad and fixes a percentage (at least during high levels, might be different in smaller puzzles at the beginning) and temporarily highlights them to let you know to leave those alone. Multiple hints do not redo the same section.
It feels very rewarding to complete a difficult puzzle.
There is currently only one track, but it is tranquil and willing to let you stop and think (as supposed to an up beat “do it ASAP” techno song).
There are patterns to utilize, but to reiterate, puzzle variations means you cannot simply auto pilot the levels, which means playing does not become stale nor grow monotonous.
Well done.

Honestly didn’t expect much when I downloaded this game at first but now I have reached level 100 and im slightly addicted. I usually play this whenever I’m bored so its not like I play 24/7 but it’s definitely entertaining.

My suggestion would be every time you beat a level you get a certain amount of game currency, gems for example. With them you can buy different background and new cool paths and stuff, it’d make the game look much prettier.

Other than that the game is fun and if you’re thinking about downloading you should totally try it!

Been playing for quite a while. I’m at level 487. Yeah… there are tons of levels. Although I had set the game aside for a while I did come back to it recently. I like the addition of the steel plate blocks and the water flow direction blocks it does seem a hair laggy now. I don’t know if that was what did it or not. I gave the game 5 stars before and it still has 5 stars. Now you can also buy themes too! Nice!!

Would for sure recommend. Can play for long or short periods of time. No ‘energy’. No waiting for breeding or hatching or lives or anything like that. Play before bed, play while watching tv.. or waiting at a drs office. Or during work meetings :) it’s fun and the levels can go quick but also get pretty tricky.

5/5 stars for sure!

I really enjoy relaxing with this game. Although I’ve actually been stumped a handful of times (out of 440 levels played), I typically play several in a sitting.

The only reason that I’m not giving that fifth star is because there’s no explanation of how it’s scored. I am fairly competitive with myself, and like to be able to see improvement in my score; but I can’t tell in this game. In fact, I sometimes get frustrated because it seems so completely random! (That’s when I switch to solitaire, picture cross, or even merging things)

Either way, this is a great game to help clear the mind of everyday stress….
