It’s a fantastic time waster that actually makes me feel a little smarter, but it’s got two annoying issues. The first is that the app keeps randomly closing mid puzzle. I’m not sure why, because it’s up to date update wise, but it’ll randomly close and reset every 2-3 levels lately. Second issue is that awful gift box. I appreciate that we get coins for completing stuff, but that gift box aggressively vibrating in the top everytime I get into the flow of things is distracting and annoying, and clicking on it to open it takes me out of the zone by opening a pop up to say I get coins. I know I get coins, it’s always coins. I’d greatly appreciate if you could make this less intrusive. Like it auto opens and adds the coins without shaking a gift box and giving us a pop up. Game is great other wise though, and I have been playing forever I’m on like , lvl 1500-something? It’s a good game. Edit : took another star off because the game now crashes 3-4 times a day. Making me consider downloading one of the other water sort games instead. ### 4/5 — Good, but two issues *2026-08-17, version 33.0.0* App is great and super fun.

But, just after playing a few levels causes my phone to get hot. This seems like a rather unnecessary use of system resources to play a simple game. What’s going on in the background?? ### 3/5 — Game continously crashes *2026-08-01, version 33.0.0* Its a fun game but omg i’ll be right in the middle and the game will crash and then I have to start over! It happens multiple times. ### 4/5 — Fun but terrible on phone battery and temperature *2026-07-31, version 33.0.0* Fun game. I’m over 20k levels in and have been playing for years. Beware it will drain your phone battery with record speed and increase your phone temperature very quickly. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-07-29, version 33.0.0* You cannot play this game because even if you buy it to avoid the ads the game is designed to make you watch endless commercials. Uninstalling and getting my money back! IF I PAY for a game, I want to play it uninterrupted by commercials and/or have levels locked purposely to name me watch commercials. This is predatory and NOT entertaining. ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2026-07-27, version 33.0.0* It is a simple puzzle game. The thing is there seems to be no cooldown on the ads, you watch the ad after a level then pass two levels in like 2/3 min then boom another full min ad. Just deleted it ### 2/5 — Demo does not match game *2026-07-27, version 33.0.0* Demo screen shots do not match the actual game, the graphics are basic and after one or two levels it shows another game ### 3/5 — Adverts too long *2026-07-26, version 33.0.0* The game is fine. However, the ads are too long - even with the paid version - and it is sometimes difficult to get out of them. ### 1/5 — Game is Fun, Ads Ruin It *2026-07-20, version 32.0.0* Game itself is fine. The ads are WAY too long compared to the value you are getting in play time. Uninstalled and went with a different brand of the same game where the ads are SIGNIFICANTLY shorter. ### 1/5 — AI *2026-07-16, version 32.0.0* Used to play for years, happily paid money, and came back regularly to it. AI ads have completely turned me off of ever playing it again. Sucks to see a game I kind of liked go down such a route. ### 4/5 — Repeat levels *2026-07-15, version 32.0.0* At roughly level 100, they keep doing the same beginner puzzle. The real simple one with 9 bottles so real boring pretty quickly. Ads after every level are longer than the level itself. ### 3/5 — Alright I guess *2026-07-15, version 32.0.0* The game is good, fun, but the ads are WAY too much. I get an ad after each round. Plus ads on the bottom of the screen. Too annoying to keep playing. No thanks. ### 1/5 — No adds *2026-07-14, version 32.0.0* Same as previous reviewer, paid for no adds now game is impossible to play as you cannot watch an add for more room so you get to levels that are utterly impossible and you can’t move on. Makes the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Level 191 is too hard *2026-07-09, version 32.0.0* Very little boosters to help and there was an ad with an x button that does nothing but gets me permanently stuck. Some people may need something that can’t be too hard, otherwise, they’ll be frustrated just like me. 🥺 ### 4/5 — I love the app *2026-07-07, version 32.0.0* But I wish the levels would get more complicated like the ads show ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-07-06, version 32.0.0* Absolutely unplayable unless you go ad free. The ads now splash over and block you from playing the game at all no matter how long you wait. You have to close the game and reopen it to be able to play again. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-04, version 32.0.0* I deleted this app because of the excessive ads. The worst part is there’s no close button so you have to force close it and start over. This wastes your time and effort on a level you’ve already worked on. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-04, version 32.0.0* Way too many ads ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-06-30, version 32.0.0* Got to round 2 and half way through, every turn i took it popped up with an ad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Ads??? *2026-08-29, version 33.0.0* I pay for no ads and I still have to watch ads to be able to get anywhere... What a crock!!! ### 1/5 — Good, but will need to delete *2026-08-28, version 33.0.0* Same as a previous review, level 3145 is definitely unsolvable without the option to add a third tube, which is annoying as you can’t do this any more on the paid version. So strange that the paid for version has fewer or worse features than the ad-free one? ### 1/5 — BULLIES!!! *2026-08-21, version 33.0.0* I will NEVER pay these pigs who are blocking my phone with ads. Nor will I be bullied into paying for this game just to get the use of my phone back. It’s time the government acted to stop these crooks and bullies!!!!! ### 1/5 — Scam ads *2026-08-16, version 33.0.0* I updated the app and then suddenly kept getting pop up ads that forced me to click away. Thought nothing of it until I started getting spam calls and attempts to sign into my Apple account. I think the pop up ads have spyware linked to it so watch out. I’ll be deleting this app. I regret updating it because this never happened until I did. ### 1/5 — What’s happened *2026-08-11, version 33.0.0* Worked well for couple of years, now all of a sudden won’t even open. ### 1/5 — Forced to update *2026-08-10, version 33.0.0* Lost the 468 levels I beat and it sent me back to 1. I’m so upset. It forced me to update the game and it took everything away even though I was saved! ### 1/5 — Phone becomes scalding hot. *2026-08-04, version 33.0.0* Absolutely convinced that this app has way too much of itself dedicated to reading your private data. Phone is scolding hot when I played this game. I don’t seem to have the problem now that I have taken the game completely off of my phone and deleted it. ### 1/5 — Add platform *2026-08-03, version 33.0.0* States as being add free but it isn’t ### 1/5 — Glitch *2026-07-31, version 33.0.0* I have played this game for a couple of years. Glitching and closing in the middle of the game caused me to delete. I tried deleting and reloading still closed in the middle of the game. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Constant Ads *2026-07-29, version 33.0.0* The game is calming, but there is SOOOO many ads, anytime you win, it’s an ad, you claim a prize, ad, you restart the game, ad. Tone it down with the ads🫩 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-06-11, version 30.0.0* I love it so much very good quality ### 5/5 — Please fix! *2026-06-09, version 30.0.0* I love this game, BUT it stopped working!! I can’t even open it. PLEASE FIX!!!! ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS Game SO MUCH! *2026-04-02, version 25.0.0* CAN YOU MAKE A SECOND ONE PLEAS. ### 5/5 — New Update Visuals Suck *2026-04-01, version 25.0.0* Please revert to the original display of the simple tubes. The new version is designed with a glare on the glass which makes it more difficult to see the color variations depending on how much light is hitting your screen. Big fan of the game otherwise. Perfect for my adhd brain when I’m zoning out. ### 5/5 — Rudimentary but Gets Harder *2026-03-26, version 25.0.0* Love these puzzles that make you think a couple steps ahead. They’re great for Seniors in need of help with cognitive functions. ### 5/5 — Relaxinggg *2026-03-14, version 23.0.0* Thank you so much for getting rid of the timer!! I play this game as a relaxing game - the timer was not it for me. Love this game though! ### 5/5 — YOU NEED TO TRY IT *2026-01-24, version 21.0.0* i love it♡︎ (✯◡✯) it is the best. You need to try it! ### 5/5 — Great app - small feature request *2025-12-20, version 20.0.0* I love this app and recently passed level 16,000! Sometimes I like to “speed play” and go fast, this involves me clicking every vial twice to essentially “skip” the animation. I do wish there was an option in settings to turn off animation, similar to how there are options for sound and vibrate. 🫶🏻 ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2025-12-06* I love this game. My daughter also really loves this game and is good at it - she is 5. We play together and it’s so fun. I love that it’s a brain game that is enjoyable for her and not overstimulating or uneducational. I like that she’s able to do it and understand it while learning about colors more and hues/shades of colors. A preschool teacher of hers had recommended it as she’d played it with her 4-5 year old as well. My daughter does well too. I also really like this game. It’s not stimulating, frustrating, and the colors are easy on the eyes. The interface runs super smoothly as well. I’ve never had issues with it freezing or failing and suddenly exiting and crashing. The levels progress at a smooth pace not intensely between levels which I appreciate. It’s a fun game and very enjoyable. I’d highly recommend! I do have this version and app as well as another one now so that I can play and progress in levels and not make it difficult for her. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!🤩 *2025-11-20, version 19.2.2* I don’t know what people are talking about with ads and all that my game works perfectly fine but I feel like we need more animations to it like maybe a bit of water would spill out occasionally I think that would be amazing 🤩 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
