These water bears are sad and dehydrated. They need YOU to help get water to fall on their bubbles. Water bears are picky drinkers, though, so each one will only accept water of a particular color. Youll need to put your pipes in the right place and manipulate the color of the water to make all of the water bears happy.

Awesome
THIS IS AN AMAZING GAME!!!!
Highest Quality Puzzler!
I love everything about this game. First off as all apps should be it is smooth and free of any all bugs and glitches as far as I have observed. Second, it is simple with a great dare I say adorable design with crisp colorful graphics featuring the lovable dehydrated Water Bears! Dragging the pipes feels really nice and clean too. Everything snaps together easily and the pipes can be rotated and removed without hassle. The idea behind this game is great! Each puzzle is carefully crafted building upon the concepts of the last. The solutions to the puzzles are not always obvious but unlike other puzzle games this has never caused me to become frustrated with it. Rather, it only engages me and I end up eagerly continuing to play around with the pipes and explore possible design solutions! What a fantastic game! There is no such thing as truly "stuck"! Every time I play this game I feel my brain and spatial reasoning grow in size! No stress! Creative exploration is rewarded by skill achievements that grow over time and each level has no time limit or pressures the player with "ratings" of their maximum ability to complete each level (such as the classic standard of perfection to achieve all 3 stars)! Rather, the sole focus of each level is only to complete it. Because after all, coming to the actual solution through play and if need be trial and error is the most important part! Their is no punishment only discovery!
Innovative fun!
The colors and sounds really pull you in. The intriguing puzzles then keep you there. They advance gently in complexity, very accessible to my family. Great game!
