Every level does, in fact, have a timer. ### 2/5 — Love the game, but the ads glitch like crazy! *2026-08-30, version 6.9.1* Really enjoy this game, but the advertisements have gotten out of control. From never loading, glitching and freezing, force-fed ads even when you choose a non-ad option. The weeks that I have been playing this game, I’ve spoken to the team and they’re very nice and get back to you in a very timely manner, but nothing has changed (that’s probably by design). It’s getting to the point that I’ll probably delete this app if it continues ### 2/5 — Could be the perfect puzzle game but the time limits are too short *2026-08-28* Don’t expect to solve level 22 without boosters. This sucks. I‘m deleting this game. ### 4/5 — Fun but frustrating *2026-08-25, version 6.8.3* I feel there has been a change in the structure of the game I’m able to do one board without difficulty then the 2nd board gives me some troubles but I figure it out. Then comes a board I’m on for days and get frustrated. I’m ready to stop if they continue to make them impossible to solve ### 2/5 — Minor but annoying falsity *2026-08-25, version 6.8.3* I downloaded it because the ad said it didn’t have a timer, which was untrue. Deleted it again. ### 2/5 — Непроходимые уровни *2026-08-25* Игра очень интересная, НО. На начальных уровнях все хорошо, спокойно, но потом начинается лютая жесть. Уровни просто невозможно пройти, даже обычные. Они по сложности как «очень сложные», даже еще сложнее. Их просто нереально пройти за то время, которое дается. Я сейчас на 290 уровне, и уже уровней 50 подряд точно, а то и 100, прохожу по видео прохождениям в ютубе, по шажочку смотрю в видосе, перехожу в игру и повторяю 2-3 хода, точь в точь. Времени катастрофически не хватает настолько, что уровни становятся просто непроходимыми. Если бы на более высоких уровнях давалось больше времени, было бы супер, а так я просто уже теряю мотивацию. Мне не в кайф проходить уровни по видосам, это уже перестает быть игрой. Вот честно, это была бы моя самая любимая игра головоломка, если бы не время и сложность. Мне очень нравится концепция игры, она самая интересная из всех, что я видела ### 4/5 — Solid game *2026-08-16, version 6.8.2* Solid game but they need to make it so the power ups come easier without money. ### 4/5 — Fun but has timers *2026-08-15* This is a fun game. The puzzles are interesting and engaging. The design is beautifully colored and has an easy layout. The reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is the timer. All levels have a countdown timer. Some levels have a reasonable countdown timer. The levels labeled “hard” have timers that get progressively shorter to the point that by the time you get to the upper levels, the timer is so short that you have to use boosters. You will only move onto the next level with the use of boosters. If you don’t have boosters, then you would have to buy them with actual money (as opposed to game-earned money). I don’t like games that force me to buy things in order to move up levels. Please make a version of the this that has no timers. It is a wonderful game apart from the fact that I am at a stage where I have to buy things if I want to make it past a level labeled “hard”. Please make the option for no-timer. ### 3/5 — Hard level *2026-08-06* I really love this game and I play every day, but it’s getting harder and harder and the time for solving the puzzle isn’t long enough. It’s been literally 3 months since i’ve finished the level 1270 because it’s impossible. The game is now a little boring…. ### 2/5 — The timer is silly *2026-08-02* You know, I do love games like this. And I do give them chances every now and then. But the problem with these games is the timer. If you're going to make levels dang near impossible you gotta at least give us some time. I get it you want to make money from people buying time extensions blah blah. But the truth is everyone eventually stops playing out of frustration, including me. I do believe there's a balance that these games just can't figure out. Welp. Another one bites the dust. Back to my relaxing games lol. ### 2/5 — Trop de casse-tête tue le casse-tête *2026-08-02* Encore et toujours des fenêtres inutiles qui s’ouvrent à chaque session… alors que quand il s’agit de revenir en arrière pour un clic fait par erreur… là, aucune fenêtre ne s’ouvre (je pense au clic du « continuer de jouer » pour 900 pièces) Dommage que les chronos soient toujours hyper serrés Il devrait y avoir une option jeu sans chrono… clairement, quand on veut jouer pour se détendre… et bien ne prenez pas ce jeu. Les casse-tête paraissent parfois absolument impossibles dans le temps donné Je désinstalle à cause de ça ### 2/5 — Timer *2026-07-23* It would have been a wonderful game if not for the timer. I’m using games to relax, not get myself stressed. Such a disappointment ### 4/5 — Nice variation *2026-07-21, version 6.7.0* This is a nice change from the ubiquitous block slide games. Clearly built on the same chassis but with different goal interactions. It’s sometimes hard to tell the colors apart, and I wish it had a colorblind mode. ### 2/5 — Zu stressig *2026-07-20* Leider gibt es auch hier Zeitlimits und vor allem diese sehr sehr stressigen Bomben. Ansonsten würde das Spiel Spaß machen. ### 2/5 — Timed *2026-07-18, version 6.7.0* I like the game but I don’t do timed games ### 2/5 — advertisement lied *2026-07-16, version 6.5.3* false advertising. the ad stated there was no time limit. that was a lie ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-09-02, version 6.9.1* So, I downloaded this game based on an ad that I saw where it CLEARLY stated that the game had no timer. That’s a lie. The ad was accurate to the game in every other way, but I was expecting a calm experience with no timer. Instead, I’m getting anxious because I see the timer ticking down. ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2026-08-25, version 6.8.3* The app was working but for the past several days just crashes instead of opening ### 1/5 — Мали времени *2026-08-20* Как и тут многие пишут, времени мало !!!! Ужасно просто ### 1/5 — Another ad that lies! *2026-08-16, version 6.8.2* This game does not have a way to play “chill” or untimed! It gives you one level of untimed play. Then obviously wants you to pay for the rest. I had these ads that lie! ### 1/5 — Jogo horrível, *2026-08-10* Péssimo ### 1/5 — As said no timers *2026-08-08, version 6.7.2* I downloaded the game specifically because the ad said no timers. There were timers. ### 1/5 — 갑자기 게임 꺼져서 소다타임 레인보우 다 날라가서 그냥 삭제합니다 *2026-07-23* 1366레벨까지 매일 몇시간씩 꾸준히 한 사람입니다. 소다타임 레인보우 없어지기 싫어서 아이템도 열심히 써가면서 했습니다. 발열이 조금 있지만 쉬어가면서 열심히 재밌게 했습니다. 뜬금없이 게임꺼지면서 다시 들어가보니 소다타임 레인보우 다 날라갔네요 이거 없으면 이 레벨쯤 되니 광고 몇 십분씩 계속 보면서 깨야하던데 하차합니다. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2026-07-17, version 6.7.0* Ads say ‘NO TIMER’… There’s a timer… Time to delete… ### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads *2026-07-15* The amount of ads is horrendous alone yet the content of some are completely inappropriate for children. My child was playing this game and to say im disappointed with the ad that came up is putting it lightly. Not impressed with the content of ads you allow on your game app. ### 1/5 — Lies *2026-07-14, version 6.5.3* It said no ads and no time limit, it costs £11.99 to play with no ads and the time limits are very short ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ! *2026-08-31* Обожаю эту игру! Каждый день захожу в нее! Но уже больше недели не могу пройти уровень 416 :( обидно забрасывать такую замечательную игру ### 5/5 — Absolutely incredibly amazing and awesome *2026-08-28, version 6.9.1* Absolutely incredibly amazing and awesome ### 5/5 — Hbd *2026-07-29, version 6.7.1* Such a fun game and I play it all the time Kinley ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-18* This is an enjoyable game with a reasonable amount of ads. Challenging but not pull your hair out challenging. **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars! 💧 That's the sweet spot we're going for — challenging but never frustrating! 😄 So glad you're enjoying it, ads and all. Happy solving in Water Out Puzzle! 💧 ### 5/5 — Игра *2026-07-16* Здравствуйте! Сделайте игру без времени, так будет приятней проходить уровни. На прохождение уровня дается 2 минуты, иногда этого не достаточно для прохождения. Добавьте просмотр рекламы, чтобы еще раз пройти тот же уровень, который не удалось до конца пройти. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо за оценку и идеи! 💧 Мы передадим команде ваши предложения — и про режим без времени, и про повтор уровня за просмотр рекламы. Спасибо, что помогаете сделать Water Out Puzzle лучше! 😊 ### 5/5 — Impossible Level/Wrong Level *2026-07-16, version 6.6.1* Hello, I really love this game but I am stuck on certain levels because my levels have less time and less board space compared to other players and youtube tutorials. Certain levels I call them money levels cause you can only beat them by spending 5 bucks and that’s not good. Specifically level 437, among others. ### 5/5 — Fun. *2026-07-05, version 6.5.2* Thumbs up! ### 5/5 — Puzzle game *2026-07-05, version 6.5.2* Lovely game ### 5/5 — fake advertising *2026-07-01, version 6.5.1* i was under the impression that this game would have no timer, based off of the ads. however even with the timer, still a fun game. ### 5/5 — Banana 🍌 *2026-06-29, version 6.5.1* Love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
