Fun but too many ads
Mon Sep 04 2017 AzalardThis is a fantastic game for both children and adults. It's challenging, entertaining, and fairly easy to play. And unlike other games, you don't have to spend real money in order to purchase cheats or power-ups. You can progress on your own skill. It's an enjoyable way to pass the time on a road trip, a lazy afternoon, or when you just need a break and want something mindless to do.
The game does have a few issues. For me, it crashes quite frequently. It's a regular occurrence. The game also has these annoying ads and videos that pop-up at random. I realize that these ads are what gives us all this free content, but they often appear right when you're trying to move from puzzle to puzzle. It's like a kid running right out in the road while you're driving down the street. It's unpredictable and unexpected. What's worse is that the ads will still play sound even when you turn off all the music and sound in the app's settings. I don't mind watching the ads if I have to, but being forced to listen to them when I have my headset plugged in is a bit much.
NAMED MY CHILD AFTER CRANKY (not clickbait)
Sun Jul 01 2018 Swampy #1I just have to say that the reason I play this game are the characters. I’ve gotten to be so connected to Swampy, Allie and Cranky, they honestly remind me of my three children. I’ve completed all the levels, and at the end I was in tears. I can proudly say that I named my second child after my favorite character, Cranky. Playing with Cranky was just a blast, so much so that I’ve gotten yelled at by my ex-wife for not picking my kids up at all from school. Other reviews say that this game is for children and a great game to pass time, but I entirely disagree. I’m 42 years old and WMW2 is a life style not just a game. I honestly owe my sanity to Disney for making this glorious creation. Writing this review made me realize my reason for existence, I must pass on the word of our lord and savior Swampy. From now on till the end of my days I will live in a swamp with dirt pipes like the one and only Swamp Swamp. So to conclude, I hope you guys will open your hearts to the marvel that is WMW2.
Love,
Swampy’s #1 Stan
Game was good but...
Fri Jun 28 2019 papermariofanI was having fun with this game, I played it when it came out, but I came back to play it again in early 2018, I used my brothers iPad to play it, When I got to the end of the soap factory, I found out that I had to watch 3 ads very 24 hours, I was fine with that, I got all the way in till the Woods, I stopped playing then but when I got my new iPad, I played this game on it, but when I got to the end of the soap factory, guess what? THE ADS TO UNLOCK THE KEYS WAS GONE, now I have to pay 1$ for this crap, AND ALL OF THE OTHER WORLDS, Disney you have Disgraced this game, SOO many people we complaining back in 2013 about this, Disney, WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN, I want to play this game again, but you are removing it from me, please bring back the ads thing on iPad
Ad Blocking Screen
Fri Nov 24 2023 Nicky the amazingI’ve played this game since it came out, and I recently got back into it. I made it much farther than I did when I first played it because of the ad option to move past gates, which I have no problems with. The issue I have now is that there is a giant ad at the bottom of the screen when I load levels. It’s for Kongregate, and it legitimately blocks a strip of the game at the bottom of the screen. This makes some levels unplayable as I can’t see where I’m supposed to get the water to or I can’t see ducks at the bottom of the screen. It doesn’t go away even in airplane mode, and there isn’t an option to pay to disable ads. It’s incredibly frustrating trying to play when I can’t see where I’m supposed to get the water, which is the entire point of the game. I can’t move forward, or complete challenges, so there’s basically no point in playing. Please remove the ad or give us the option for a one time payment to remove the ads in the game.
Really needs some iPhone X optimization.
Wed Jul 18 2018 Greg-_In the change log it shows the game being updated for the iPhone X, but actually playing it on one is kinda tough. The first thing is that it seems like all of the interactable objects are in the same location as the home bar on the iPhone X meaning that it’s VERY easy to accidentally “press” the home bar, which forces the game to pause every single time. I’ve had to retry many levels because of this (namely 64). An easy fix would be to move everything in the game “up” so you don’t accidentally press the home bar.
Another thing that really bothers me is the ads. I don’t mind watching ads for a free game, but when you get to the final gate of an area, you’re forced to either pay 💰, or watch 3 ads before you’re allowed to transition to the next area. Not only that, but you can only watch one ad per 24 hours. So you are forced to wait 48 JUST to transition between the next level. That is ridiculous to me.
Disney cash grab app
Tue Aug 13 2019 Big Poppa PopWish there is a way to turn off the “optional” video that pops up every other level that well you can’t skip it it shows up before every challenge if you don’t watch it and it’s the same at every time and I don’t need the bonus that watching it gives you. I don’t mind ads, but watching the same ad every other level for an unneeded bonus is a waste of time that makes me hesitate to go back to this app. I remember when this app first came out a number of years ago this was not an issue and back then the prequel app was free. As with all things that they’re doing these days, Disney is just in it for the cash grab and not for the fans anymore.
*EDIT* there are different areas in this app that in the past you needed to collect a certain number of ducks to get to. Now, You either pay to unlock the gate or you have to watch three videos and wait 24 hours between each video to continue. I said it before, and I said again. Disney does not care about their fans, they just wanna rob you blind.
If only
Mon Jul 22 2019 Our Lord and Savor Jebus ChrisThe game itself was very fun and interesting, and I enjoyed playing it. However the game was titled with adds (although they were skippable) that promoted Disney’s own games. But by far the worst part is after you go through the first three levels of the game. You come to a gate blocking your way. Usually these gates open after collecting a certain amount of ducks but this gate however was different. On this one it wasn’t based on your skill or cleverness in the game it was based on how much money or time you were willing to spend. For in order to open this gate you either had to pay $1 or wait 3 DAYS for adds to load so you could get though for free (I say three day because there was a button you press to wait the adds for the gate, and after watching one there is a 24 hour countdown till you can watch the next). So overall a good game but the forcing of players to pay money or wait three days just to open a gate is ridiculous and disappointing.
Still got it!
Sun Nov 29 2020 WantdememojisI must have played this when it first came out. I recently downloaded it again because I got sick of some of my other games with relentless ads and basically forced payments to proceed. And I just want to say THANK YOU so much for having a fun low stress mental puzzle game that is actually free to play. I have spent a few dollars here and there to buy keys, but that is nothing compared to the absolute thievery from of lot of these other games in the App Store.
Only minor complaint is I wish the digging could be a bit more precise, I feel like occasionally the scraping to get the water to the target is a bit clumsy, and would like to be able to be bit more detailed when drawing the path.
Needs update for iPhone 12
Tue Oct 26 2021 J.N. ThomasI love this game and think it’s super fun and a great way to kill so time but it annoys me so much when there are movable objects near the home bar because every time you click them the phone thinks your exiting the app and pauses the game. In addition it doesn’t like reading me taping the resume button so I have to tap it like 12 times for it to actually resume. Over all I love the game but I just can’t play some of the levels because it’s frustrating. And another thing I don’t mind the ads but I really don’t like the ‘pay to open the next gate or watch three ads but after you’ve watched one you have to wait 24 hours to watch the next.’ Please update the app to be reformatted to fit the newer iPhone models.
Not as good as I remember
Sun Mar 14 2021 Red...FoxI loved this game growing up but the game has really gone downhill, I haven’t gotten very far, maybe two levels, and already encountered a few problems. For one, the tap register is off by a good bit, it registers to the top right off center from your finger when you try to do anything, enough that when you try to dig it digs a good few centimeters above and to the right of where you’re pressing. Also, when you do press, it doesn’t always register the first time. Not to mention the level end screen is not sized right to the screen, and the “next” button is halfway cut off. I will update if I find any other problems.
Update 1: you can’t restart the level if you mess up. It doesn’t even trigger the failed Screen if you get rid of all the water if there’s a duck that’s still there full with a bit of water.
