Swampy the alligator has a problem. He lives in the city sewers and needs water for a bath. Unfortunately, that water isn’t reaching his bath shower head because the pipes have all got messed up. Can you help him?
And so it goes for Hannah’s newest thing. It’s actually a lovely app created by Disney called “Where’s My Water? “, and can be had for cheap at USD0.99. The game requires our girl to figure out little puzzles on how to guide water flow from source to Swampy’s bath shower. The game comes packed with hundreds of puzzles, and some of the later ones are fiendishly difficult even for adults.
It’s also become quite a bonding moment for daughter and daddy whenever we indulge in a puzzle or two each night for 15 minutes, and our girl will thereafter run excitedly to mommy explaining the different things she has been trying to solve each water puzzle.=)
This isn’t, of course, the only physics based puzzler around for tablet or mobile devices. There’s the ubiquitous Angry Birds. But for some reason, Hannah never got quite into that even though she recognizes the animal creatures anywhere – she’ll point at the animal plush toys at a toy store and say “Angry Birds!!!”. On the other hand, she’s loves Where’s My Water!
As to fears on whether she’ll get hooked; it doesn’t look like it. She still very much loves the train set Ling bought her for Christmas, and still wants us to read with her her prayer book, or to do stickers with her.=)
