Disney's Where's My Water 2 comes to Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 today [Updated]

The final few weeks accept been practiced to fans of Disney'due south Where'due south My H2o? and its spin-off games, Where's My Perry? And Where'south My Mickey?. First the Windows 8 versions of all 3 titles went on sale, and and then like a week afterwards Disney gave them away free for some reason. The phone versions of the get-go two games besides went free for a cursory time at the beginning of the yr. It's safe to say that people who enjoy asking where liquids or drawing characters accept gone probably acquired two or three such games by now.

Well, later on today Windows Phone eight and Windows 8 users will go to ask "Where is my h2o currently located?" once once again. Disney is releasing Where'due south my Water? 2 for mobile Windows platforms – and simultaneously with the iOS versions! Well, virtually simultaneously. The Windows Phone 8 version showed upwardly a twenty-four hours tardily, and the Windows eight version took even longer.

Update: Both versions are now live! Store links and more details after the break.

New stuff

Where'due south My Water? ii stars Swampy, the series' original alligator protagonist. Or is he a crocodile? I forget. Joining Swampy are two crocogator friends, young girl Allie and Cranky the old-timer. Both were beginning introduced via downloadable expansions to the original game.

Possibly the about heady additions to this sequel are the new Duck Blitz levels. In these stages, players will aimlessly dig a path for water equally the screen scrolls downwards. It'southward like Mr. Driller but with h2o. You lot'll find these levels on the new overhead map.

Previous spin-off games like Where's My Mickey? introduced new mechanics like wind, pelting, and clouds. We're not sure if those return in Where'south My Water? ii, but it does include new locations such as a lather manufactory and a beach. Yous'll also be dealing with more than simply water now. Steam and toxicant must also be used to solve puzzles, which should change up how some levels play.

Free to play

Unlike previous games in the series, Where's My Water? 2 will be free to play. That would usually exist proficient news for most gamers, unless you're that guy who played a free game he didn't like a few years agone and now grumbles about them in the comments constantly.

Our grouchy friend might but have a reason to complain this time, though. Yes, Where's My Water? 2 is monetized with some innocuous In-App Purchases like power-ups and hints. But it's likewise bogged down by a time-based energy mechanic.

Each time you play a puzzle in this game, you'll eat some free energy. When that free energy runs out, you won't be able to play any new levels until it recharges over time… Not unless y'all pony up to restore your free energy. Every bit you might imagine, this mechanic limits players' ability to replay stages for better scores, to say zero of just chilling out and enjoying the game as long as they feel like it.

Find that h2o already

Free to play concerns aside, Where'southward My Water? 2 coming to Windows Telephone 8 and Windows 8 on the same date as iOS (and ahead of Android!) is a welcome prove of support from Disney. Hopefully nosotros'll see more timely releases like this in the future.
