Water Sort Puzzle

I rarely ever find games I actually enjoy in the ecosystem of mobile interstitial ads. Mostly because when I’m getting advertised to by a low-effort game trying to push microtransactions on me, the games being advertised are typically lower effort and even more purchase-driven. Water Sort surprised me, though; after paying for the ad-free, I found a surprisingly challenging, yet soothing collection of puzzles. A simple premise with surprisingly complex, cognitively engaging facets to it. The way progressing through it, I came up with little “bulletproof” strategies, then find out I’d need to tailor it as the puzzles got harder. It’s not without its faults (the bounding boxes on the leftmost beakers on each row seems a bit off), or its low-budget moments (there’s one sound effect for pouring the water. I think the devs might have underestimated how satisfying it is to hear when you finally make the last pour of a brutal level). And perhaps most damningly, it does have a pretty craven ad-driven power-up system: watch an ad for 5 undos (far too little help for the disruption) or 2 extra beakers (way too much help with too little catharsis; it essentially allows you to finish the puzzle without the satisfaction of knowing what the actual answer was. At least when I look up the solution of a sudoku in the back of the book, I find out what solution I was missing.) But that’s about 5% of the experience. The core takeaway is a genuinely engaging, intriguing, challenging-without-being-frustrating puzzle game. A splendid way to kill 5 minutes in the checkout line or unwind with cold drink on the couch.

I love this app. I use it most when I’m anxious. It occupies my brain enough that I don’t ruminate on negative thoughts. Its like a silent meditation that calms me down. It’s satisfying to finish a puzzle. I paid to remove the ads, but I somewhat frequently choose to watch an ad to get an extra vial. This happens especially when frustration is ramping me up and I need to get to the “awesome” screen without re-doing the whole puzzle. I love that I can start over to try a different approach without penalty. I love that there’s no competition to get to a higher level or beat someone else’s score. I would love to see a toggle for colorblind use. I’m not colorblind but my eyes are getting older so when I have the game open on the dimmest light setting on my phone I can’t tell the difference between the colors. Just turn up the light? Well, I often turn to this game in bed when my brain won’t shut off but I don’t want to wake my partner. It might also be interesting to see my playing habits in a graph that shows my heart rate. I don’t know if other people react to this game like I do, though.
