With cartoonish style and unique gameplay, it attracts both children and adults.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t have a lot of expectations at first. After I played it, I was drawn by its vibrant colours and cartoonish characters. The control is simple and engaging; players need to guide water for the Alligators to take a shower by swiping their fingers on the dirt to create tunnels. Rubber ducks are scattered at each level; players can use them for higher scores. By progressing through the levels, players unlock different scenes with multiple features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing I liked about the game is its difficulty curve. There is hardly any tutorial; players are visually guided through interactions. The elements like props and obstacles are introduced with levels, keeping the experience fresh and challenging.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another design element I enjoy is the rubber ducks. They increase the difficulty of levels. However, those still need to be acquired to finish a level. They are more like collectible items to get a higher score and will usually challenge players to think differently and find a way to utilize the props. These elements add another layer to the gameplay and provide a new choice to finish the level. Players can choose the easier way when they can\u2019t think of a better solution. This way, the game fits casual players and players who like challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I\u2019ve encountered a minor inconvenience while navigating through the levels. The layout makes it sometimes hard to find a specific level and requires players to scroll and search for a while. Despite the minor drawback, I enjoyed playing a lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this game has brought me a lot of fun. With charming visuals, intelligent puzzles and short gameplay, it\u2019s no wonder it has withstood the test of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Skye&nbsp; Where\u2019s My Water? 2 is a casual puzzle game released in 2013 by Disney Interactive Studios and<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/2024\/04\/20\/exploring-wheres-my-water-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Exploring Where\u2019s My Water? 2\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2479,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3],"class_list":["post-2478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gamedesign","tag-premdm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2478"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2480,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2478\/revisions\/2480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
