Gameplay
Swampy's Story
Main article: Swampy's Story
In this main story, Swampy loves to take showers and be clean, however Cranky and his gang of alligators are rather sick of Swampy's ways and sabotage his pipe system. Because of this, the player's goal is to help Swampy fill his tub with water.
To beat levels, the player must in each level find a way to get water into Swampy's shower pipe. He/she can use their finger to dig paths through dirt and also trigger objects by touching or moving them with their finger. Once the player has completed a level, the next level is unlocked.
There are also collectible ducks in the game. There are three of them in each level and to get them the player must direct enough water to them for the duck to be full of water. Ducks are necessary to unlock chapters, and a number of them must be acquired to unlock each new chapter (though the player can also buy the Locksmith Duck to unlock a chapter/all chapters immediately.) There are also other collectibles in the game that are hidden in the dirt. The player can simply find these collectibles by digging through dirt. These collectibles will unlock bonus levels. There are three types of water in the game: clean, poison, toxic ooze, and Mud. Poison, toxic ooze, and mud can kill Swampy ducks. If the player lets Poison Water, toxic ooze, or mud enter Swampy's tub, the player will lose and will have to try again. Also, if the player happens to lose all of the water in the level, Swampy will cry and the player will have to try again.
Cranky's Story
Main article: Cranky's Story
On January 2012, Cranky's Story became available in the full version of Where's My Water. The first five levels are free to play; however to get the other levels, the player will have to make a one-time in-app purchase for $1.99 USD.
In this story, Cranky wants to eat food, but the problem is that it is being covered by algae. Because of this, the player must help Cranky and remove the algae.
Unlike Swampy's Story, which used regular water, this time Poison Water is needed to remove the algae. Like Swampy's Story, the player can use their finger to dig through dirt or trigger other objects. The water makes the algae grow on Cranky's food, and Toxic Ooze makes rocks on the food. If the player runs out of Poison Water or give Cranky water or Toxic Ooze, he/she will lose and will have to try again. There are Cranky Ducks in this stage, similar to the Swampy Ducks, except they must be filled with poison water. Both clean water and ooze kill the ducks. Also, instead of collectibles in this story, there are Food Groups, where Cranky gives a culinary review on the food. Also available in some Swampy levels are Cranky Challenges, which require the player to do a certain task in the level in a certain amount of time. If the player doesn't complete the task or fails it, Swampy will cry as if you have lost all the water.
Mystery Duck's Story
Main article: Mystery Duck's Story
On June 2012, the Mystery Duck mode was introduced along with the new chapter Out to Dry.
In Mystery Duck's levels (which are actually Swampy's levels, but with different ducks), Mystery Duck will either spawn a Mega Duck, ten Ducklings, or himself. The player's goal is to first fill the ducks in the level, then complete the level as usual, getting the water into Swampy's tub.
Allie's Story
Main article: Allie's Story
On May 2013, an update was released that added a new story, Allie's Story.
In this story, Swampy and Allie's other friends give her a special steam-powered pipe organ, but the only problem is that she needs steam to run it. The goal in each level is to get steam to Allie so she can use her organ. This level also introduces Allie Ducks, which can be filled with steam to collect.
Like Cranky's Story and Mystery Duck, the whole pack needs to be purchased for $1.99, however the first 5 levels are free to play. There are 4 chapters, the first two released on May 2013 and the last two chapters released on September 2013.
