What Killed the Where's My Water Franchise?

Where's my Water was Disney's experiment getting into the mobile gaming market. Developed by Creature Feep, the game follows swampy as he needs to take a bath, with the player having to dig up dirt to navigate the water into his showerhead.

I am genuinely surprised why they killed this franchise, it's such an original concept for a mobile game. I absolutely loved the Where's My Water series and have fond memories playing all those games on my old small Cloudphone when visiting my grandma's place. I actually bought the game this year and had a good time.

[@luuduonghy659]

I think because it fail to attract players because even the game good at that time there are game better than this game My view

[@radioactive_baby0706]

I was obsessed with this game when I was younger

[@lavendernightshade5631]

[@janmil5630]

I remember borrowing my brothers phone a lot to play this game. For some reason this memory makes me feel "safe" and "cozy" inside my parents' house and longing for the good old times.

[@melindagallegan5093]

Is there a way to buy this game outright? All versions I have played had me having to pay at each gate.

Both Where's My Water and LittleBigPlanet made some of the most cozy and comfortable sewer areas in gaming.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

I remember playing _Where's My Mickey?_ back then before I found out that Disney made the 2013 series based on the Classic Mickey cartoons with new art style. The weirdest part about the game is when Goofy got stranded in a remote island and ate everything because a plant spits out a goo that made him hallucinate into thinking it's food. *Fun Fact:* The voice actor of Mickey Mouse in the 2013 series is the same actor who played Moe from The Three Stooges movie.

[@A_very_tinly_can]

Goofy trips balls and eats everything and everyone in sight. May god help us all...

Goofy was actually at a zoo

Also the ending when he or we realise he wasn't stranded on a island that was so unexpected

Honestly, I forgot it was a "franchise". I just remember playing the 1st game along with the other random XD games at the time (Sugar Rush Speedway, In-door miniature golf, JESSIE Pinball, etc.)

[@cimengngialah2735]

I’ll always remember the animated mini series they made. I also thought the alligator incident in Disney World caused Disney to disassociate themselves with the game…

I've actually been playing where's my water, the sequel, and where's my perry for the past 2 weeks. It's definetly worth a download if you have an android device, but be warned that the original game has an issue with 120 HZ screens so you'll have to set the limit to 60 HZ or some levels will break.

I miss the creativity of these games. As someone who played (most) of these games, they were a part of my childhood

[@themilkmilitary]

Congratulations on the editing 😅 also, I feel like games like this are bound to die simply because I don’t think any of these water games had an app purchases that might be one reason why they might feel like they need to delisted it because in app purchases are a very direct way to get money.😊 it’s sad how desperate for money they can be sometimes😕

[@PrettyKoolCrocodile]

No joke I predicted this today and was just gonna request this! I remember playing the Flash version at school (which is actually not well optimized even on my modern PC as of this year), I spent a lot of time with the spin offs namely Perry and Holiday and played the free version off various iPads at school. WMW2 was def where I fell off with the series and it's kinda sad how they ended off the series with a F2P sequel that locked up most of the levels under paywalls. Unlike other companies, I'm glad they're keeping at least WMW1 and WMW2 on the app store beyond EOL which is a lot better than vaulting literally everything legacy that brought new heights for good.

[@StockingAnarchy112]

me and my dad used to love these games! I remember playing for hours and my dad would help me with the levels. When he found out you couldn't download it anymore he was a bit sad. Just a nice memory with my dad!

I also remember LOVING Ally because I love her organ playing!

[@rbpgamemaster]

Actually, the Wheres my perry game was a bit different than "Wheres my water, but with steam". It had some steam levels yes, but it also had regular water levels too. The more unique aspect of it was the various inators and their effects. In particular, the Ice behaves completely different.

[@ShiroCh_ID]

yeah i totally agreed wheres my perry and mickey is actually make a new game mechanics other than the basic water puzzle of original wheres my water series

[@rapidlyvids]

The Talking Tom and Friends series, created by a mobile game company called Outfit7, Is suffering the franchise-run treatment, having the franchise being overrun with generic endless runners instead of the original “Talkback animal” or “Talkback animal you have to take care of” formula we’re all used to. Somebody should make a video on that…

[@tariqthehedgehog]

Who remembers having the lite version of WheresMyWater 1

[@tariqthehedgehog]

I probably think licensing issues caused lite to be deleted

[@CC_Cody2224]

This video reminds me of when I have multiple "versions" of Where's My Water installed, I only remembered it thanks to this. As a person who played Skylanders and Disney Infinity literally after Toys To Life already died, it would be interesting to see your next "What Killed" video.

[@theotherjared9824]

Disney just can't get it together on the video game front. Back when there was a dedicated video game division, they made a few original titles that were well received, but either were one off or crashed and burned like Where's my water. Now they almost exclusively license their properties to other studios to an incredibly mixed bag.

[@BlackDragon3443]

It was only a matter of time before you did this goated game series

Where’s My Water is one of my favorite childhood games! Right up there with the Angry Birds franchise!

5:57 I had a strange thought. Imagine a clip where it restarted again and again, and it began on this dude breathing like that. Would be stranger than if you watched this video linearly, like you’re supposed to. And the addition of adding two more icons on 6:02 had me thinking why you added that. Great video. I just wanted to add my thoughts before I forget them.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

I love the game so much, that I have been modding it for many months now. I actually created a working level editor. Granted, you have to get the apk onto your pc, extract it, then open it in the level editor, edit the level, export it, then repack the apk (then sign it), then install it on your device. Yes, it can be a hassle just to edit a level, but it is something. I am currently working on a much better system for modding wmw, and I plan on making a version that can run on mobile devices. I do also plan on creating a program that is able to get the apk from your device, extract it, then allow you to mod it however you want, then repack it and dign it, all automatically, so it can make the process easier (of course, if your device is rooted, I can make it across the files directly, which will make modding the game much much faster. Believe me, I have a jailbroken (rooted) ipad, and being able to mod the game without reinstalling it, is amazing). btw, the level editor is called Where's My Editor (I know, amazing name).

[@rentertainment2769]

The 2s or the sequels of the mentioned games makes sense as their second game (AB Seasons, CTR Holiday Gift, WM Holiday) tends to be a spinoff or an update-like to the original game and not worth of the 2 in the title

In the beginning, he mentioned, Disney interactive studios, and I have a story relating to that. I have a toy story three game for the Xbox 360 that I own.
