I really enjoyed the other Mediocre AB games, so I bought this early in January 2025. I think it’s the most fun I’ve ever gotten out of a few dollars! It’s nonviolent, the puzzles are good, and minimizing your water usage requires planning, skill, some luck, thinking out of the box, and replaying levels many times — which, fortunately, is fun! There are apparently hacked versions circulating, so the Game Center leaderboards have cheaters at the top end (as often happens). My estimates of the absolute maximum scores of each level — based on measuring with a ruler the amount of water you start with at each stage, assuming that NO WATER gets used, and adding the possible bonus points — are as follows (rounded to the nearest 1000):Tropical: 109,000Forest: 129,000Cave: 124,000Canyon: 118,000Jungle: 142,000Total: 622,000Based on this, the top 14 high scores (as of 23 December 2025) for the whole game were obtained by cheating. (Sometimes this is only clear by looking at a user’s scores on individual islands.)IMPORTANT NOTE: If you start the game while your phone or iPad are held in portrait mode, the game will not display correctly and will be unplayable. TURN YOUR PHONE OR IPAD SIDEWAYS before opening the game. Unfortunately, Mediocre AB seems to no longer exist, so this isn’t going to get fixed.

This is a great game. The graphics are clean, music takes you to a tropical island, and the levels are cleverly designed to help you figure out how to complete them. Unfortunately, aside from Apple updating the game for Apple Watch, the developers haven’t updated it for 11 years, so the odds of them even reading these reviews are pretty low. But, for what it’s worth, since it’s unlikely new levels will ever be added, it would be nice to have the ability to reset progress so we can start the game over and play again with a clean slate. We all paid for the game, and there are only 60 levels. If it’s never going to be updated with new levels, it’s only fair to let us reset it and keep playing it without retaining previous scores. It seems like a small ask. Fingers crossed that someone at Mediocre AB is still listening to feedback about this terrific game.

I have played literally thousands of iOS games as I owned the first iPhone the day it came out and I can honestly say that I have never been more impressed by or had more fun playing any game on the iOS platform than "Sprinkle Islands". "Granny Smith" is fantastic, "Sprinkle" is amazing, and "Sprinkle Islands" is nothing short of a masterpiece. With brilliant level design and boss battles reminiscent of Mario bros, this game just replaced Blast-A-Way as the most fun, challenging, impressive, and addicting game on my iPhone. Move over Gameloft and Chillingo, Mediocre's iOS games are anything but average... They're the best iOS game developer around for my money and I'm a lifelong fan.

I really wanted to like this game - its cute and very mellow. The problem is with the water physics - they're so unpredictable. The puzzles are set up in ways that defeat the player when using what should be simple water pressure, volume and direction. When the game wants to manipulate you into a difficult focal point, the water physics are altered and this makes your journey frustrating and uneven. Some puzzles don't have a fix after an action and you're stuck with the only option being to start over. Then you get to make the same action and start over again - weeee, are we having fun yet？Like I said, I really like the innocence and cuteness of this game and the relaxing atmosphere, but it's frustrating as hell and that flushes the ambiance right down the drain.

Got the first sprinkle game when it came out but was a tad frustrated by the mechanics. Then these guys came out with their Granny Smith game and I was hooked. So I threw caution to the wind and immediately threw down for this game and I am not disappointed in the least! They have refined the gameplay to make it far more focused on the puzzles and less on the finesse of aiming and preserving your water, which is a good thing. The water physics are a load of fun. I don't know what it is but Mediocre have the magic juice and I can't wait to see what else they put out there!

The gameplay is simple but fun, involving shooting water to put out fires while solving puzzles in the process. The game hasn't been updated in nearly 8 years as I'm typing this, but a benefit of that is that it runs on devices running iOS versions as old as 6.0. It'll work on an iPhone 3GS, an iPad 2, an iPod Touch 4, or anything newer. I personally have been playing it on an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.4.1.
