Pros
Pro Challenging puzzles
Where's My Water offers a bunch of different levels with challenging physics-based puzzles. Thanks to a great variety in the level design and different elements that interact with the water, the game succeeds to stay fresh.
Pro Great presentation and visuals
Soundtracks often aren't the most important aspect developers pay attention to, but Where's My Water certainly is an exception. Reviewers and users praise the fun soundtrack of the game, but also the overall presentation. Narrative is well handled and graphics are crisp and enjoyable.
Pro Great variety in puzzles
A lot of attention has been put into creating interesting levels with great pacing and variety throughout the game.
Pro Beautiful visual style
World of Goo is pleasing to look at. Most of the time it's very colorful and joyful, but it changes from time to time to reflect different parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is stylistically well presented throughout the game.
Pro A twisted tale
As you start playing there doesn't seem to be much of a story. A few philosophical messages left behind by the Sign Painter and a cut-scene here or there. But as you progress through the game you unearth different details about a slightly disturbing world.
Pro Good, funny music
Each level has good and very funny music.
Pro Excellent physics engine
Physics in-game take into account gravity, wind, weight of different goo-balls, structural integrity of your architectural solutions to create an addictive, "let me try this one more time"-type of gameplay.
Cons
Con Some in-app purchases
Where's My Water offers a few downloadable content packs, in the form of extra levels. These can be purchased via an in-app purchase ranging from $0.99 to $2.99. There are also microtransactions to assist unlocking levels.
Con Screen navigation isn't always perfect
Some levels are bigger than the screen on your device, which means you'll have to scroll up and down constantly in order to see what's going on in a level. A scroll-bar is positioned on the left, which seems like an odd choice for right-handed people.
Con No co-op mode
The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version.
