Downloaded this for a reward. A NINETEEN FIFTY REWARD. It was actually amazing. I have so much respect for this game, giving out free money. And honestly, the game wasn’t annoying. It only has a few ads, and is very rewarding with tickets. The gameplay is fun, and it doesn’t even have any coins. I don’t even know if the game has in app purchases. I’m on level 20. It’s so not pushy, and the gameplay is good too. The UI is simplistic, and the visuals are calm. I love this game. I can’t believe this game. I have so much respect for it. It’s worth the download.

The puzzle part seems fine so far. But there is an ad after *literally* every puzzle. Yes. I mean “literally.” Every single one. This is extra wild because if you sat through the ads, they’re longer than the puzzles. Some of these puzzles take under a minute to do, then they’re followed by a 30-90 second. And again, literally, I am not exaggerating, every puzzle. As mentioned elsewhere, there are also ads at the bottom of each puzzle, some misleadingly designed like a button for the game. Like many other reviewers I downloaded the app for credit on a different app, which requires running it without ad blocking, which I’m sure would make a huge, huge difference. But unless there’s some reason you specifically need to play this version, I’m sure you can find the same game without nearly so much intrusion.Update: this actually got worse. The ads now appear mid puzzle, as an inescapable 60 second interruption. This is comically bad. Do not waste your time.

I absolutely love this game. One feature I love is the ability to just watch an ad to add an extra bottle to potentially save you the game. This feature comes especially in handy when you’re playing the events and have to use up a ticket for each game. However, the ads are not reliable. Having that safety net of an extra bottle is wonderful, but it’s terrible if you use a ticket to play an event level and then end up needing another bottle but ope, there are no ads available. Basically forcing you to quit and waste the ticket you used to play. Hopefully this issue can be fixed cause otherwise this game is an easy 5/5 for me.

I ended up playing this game through a deal offered by this and another app called WEBTOON. The deal was that you play up to a certain point and they give you a certain amount of coins (a currency) that can be used on WEBTOON. Playing the game was a frustrating UX because it was glitchy and riddled with ads. Sometimes just to get through one round of play one was forced to watch >4 ads. Anyway, I played to the agreed level and then some, but still didn’t get the coins I was promised after days of waiting. I reached out to their customer service, and they took their time getting back to me. I’m not sure if the Love Water team was being sluggish in order to ensure that my request timed out or not, but after everything else I experienced with this game, I wouldn’t be surprised.
