I have the same issue on iPhone, where the game is on the left side of my screen and a majority of the game itself is cut off, I can swipe between what levels I can see and click on the levels only. Once in a level, I can only move the crane around, can’t use it. I can leave the level and that’s it. I would love to play this game again because I used to when I was younger.

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.

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.
