Water Match®- ASMR Water Sort

You should probably be playing Offline Games instead. It has the same game, albeit with less spiffy graphics and gimmicks, with fewer ads and a cheaper price to remove them that also gets you loads of other games. Water Match ASMR is, as the tacky title and advertisement that probably brought you here would suggest, a typical knock off water sort game with a couple of added fun gimmicks, like big shaped theme bottles (peacocks, etc) and nice graphics. It has some dark patterns, like challenges that discourage you from pausing or taking a break and encourage binging the game. The price to remove ads is a bit higher than typical, and through cheap cheats the game will attempt to drive you into spending currency on power ups, because some levels use hidden information to trick you into making “mistakes” and are unplayable without bonuses, rather than being a proper puzzle with optional power ups if you’re having trouble solving it. I fear this is probably pretty typical. It’s not quite as obnoxious about it as some similar games, though I only got so far and it might get worse with time. Ads every level. Easy to accidentally click on ad buttons you don’t need, too, and get stuck in one. Careful management of resources will let you get by without spending real money or having to redo levels over and over to collect information like a bad game of memory…to the point that I reached, anyway.

Too many long Ads and the difficulty levels come too early on for us who are not good with these type of problems. The Ads are after each and every solution and long and it constantly and annoyingly pops up the pay for no Ads in between the regular Ads before you’ve played the games enough to even know if you like it. Saying all of that, the game is intriguing and fun with clarity so I give them that, but I’m at the beginning and they still keep asking for a Review so I’m giving it as I see it now, if I change my opinion later if the semantics change, then I will change my review. You should make different levels of intensity so people can select their level and increase each one appropriately. I’ve seen reviews that say it’s too easy and I salute them for having the brain level to do these easily so if you make them more challenging then you can put them in the Hard Level. Something like Easy, Medium, Hard for your levels. In our training for new people we never start them at the medium or hard levels until they can work the beginning stages and move up at their own pace.

I gave 4 stars because while this is a fun and challenging game something is either not working correctly or the developers are just not doing the right thing. When you finish a level there are two options as to how you want your coin reward. One is a sliding arrow that you stop at a multiplier for the 20 coins you have just earned and it’s clear that you must watch an ad for this option. The other option is simply to take the 20 coins and presumably not have to waste time watching an ad. Unfortunately both options result in watching an ad. Why?? Once in a great while the “just” 20 coins option will allow you to go directly to play another level. But definitely NOT OFTEN. This is not only a waste of time but, quite frankly, infuriating. Please fix this.
