Swampy is a new Disney character made exclusively for mobile, and he’s an alligator who likes some aspects of human life including being clean.It turns out Swampy likes to bathe, but his shower pipes are broken, making him beg the question, “Where’s My Water?”.It’s up to you to help Swampy get his water, as you clear the path to direct the water to Swampy’s pipe.You dig the underground dirt to guide the water past algae and toxic sludge while dealing with switches, traps, and twisting pipes.The game stars Swampy the Alligator, who — unlike the rest of his kind — doesn’t wish to roam the sewers of the city, wallowing in dirty water and feasting on rats, no.What Swampy wants more than anything else in life is a bath and it’s up to you to redirect the water through the earth so that it ends up in his bathtub.It sounds deceivingly simple, and at first it is, but it quickly evolves as more elements are introduced such as switches and algae which grows out of control when water touches it and other liquids such as acid and sludge that can hurt just as much as they help, quickly forcing you to rely on your sense of logic and ability to foresee the consequences of your actions in order to ensure Swampy’s good hygiene.You simply drag your finger to dig the dirt, and there is quite fine precision allowing you to snake the water through obstacles to the end point.In each level there are three rubber duckies, and you can collect them by having the water pass over them.The game includes an outstanding physics engine with a wonderful water particle effects system so that the water combines, splits, and spills over every angle of dirt, cement, and pipe.Also included is a wonderful cartoon art style that is definitely Disney-esque, which provides plenty of personality for Swampy.Every level provides a unique design, and you’re never sure what to expect.In some levels you need to get rid of the toxic sludge, and others you need to use the sludge to clear out the algae.There are switches to turn, and multiple pipes to use to propel the water across gaps, and even through loops.Once you begin the first level, it’s tough to put the game back down, and you’ll enjoy each and every one of the 80 puzzles.The game also features hidden objects, or collectibles.Collect all three from each subset and you’ll unlock a bonus game which uses the accelerometer to move water around the screen to collect the bonus rubber duckies.Where’s My Bath?’ is a rare example where the developers did everything right.From the audio and visuals (including the interactive main menu and Swampy’s reactions to things happening (or not happening)) to the gameplay to the user interface itself, which prominently features a restart level button separate from the in-game menu options.
