WayForward’s award-winning Mighty Switch Force series, transformed into a pick-up-and-play puzzler!
Team up with Officer Patricia Wagon to save Tangent City from a fiery blaze! As a member of Planet Land’s Fire Brigade, your job is to douse the fire in each building — and to evacuate any Hooligan Sisters who may be trapped inside. It’s a dangerous job, but if anyone can save the city, you and Patty can!
Use your finger to slide blocks around the playfield, and tap & hold Officer Wagon to let loose a powerful water spray from her Infinity Dousing Apparatus (err… hose). Douse all of the flames, and the stage is clear! Sounds easy, right?
Block types vary from simple slide-puzzle obstacles to full-blown brain-busters like Turnpike Blocks, Mud Blocks, and Cloak Blocks. Each level has been lovingly crafted and is WayForward Certified, guaranteed to challenge, befuddle, and tickle your fancy.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Transitions good to mobile controls.
Good. But….. Make the first game in iOS where you get the prisoners. Other than less it good.
Please help us this game keeps us on the loading screen when we got it back.
We're addicted! This game is a lot of fun and cute :).
Has the same beautiful sprites and graphics from Mighty Switch Force 2 on the 3DS, a but it's a puzzle game that uses the same hose mechanics…if you play them both, you'll see what we mean. Anyway, we think everything this developer touches turns to gold. This is probably our favorite iOS game. Download it now.
You know, normally when you see things like this in the App Store the creators usually mess it up some how. This game had a lot of areas where the creator could have gone in the wrong direction, and honestly, we didn't notice a single problem playing through the whole game. The puzzles are mind bending yet addictively fun, and the game just never gets old. We had a lot of fun playing this game, and the design was just very well executed.
Addictive and fun game! Hope they make more levels – we completed the game in less than a week.
This is a very good game to play. Love it.
The game has potential but on our phone maybe others it skips making it difficult to move he blocks.
So since we didnt play the game in a long time we decided to play it again but… Then at one point it kept popping up to buy more levels and we wasnt even tapping the button to do that so we delete the app and it popped up one last time and it didnt do it again The end (REAL ok bruh) unless… It does it in the future.
We recently downloaded this game again since we had fond memories of playing it the first time we discovered it, but we soon discovered a reason to put the game down again. The gameplay and soundtrack seem pretty entertaining, but the bulk of the time spent on this app was waiting through advertising. We didn't have much of an opportunity to appreciate the artwork or music since the levels were short and an advertisement would pop up at the end of each level. It might just be our device (iPhone 6S, iOS 10.2.1), but the game would freeze on the ad, and we'd have to fully close and restart the app. After repeating this for about 20 minutes, we finally decided to write this review. We're sure the game is great, but it's no fun if it's such a struggle to play.
App never loads and stays on loading screen. Nothing changes. Will wait for update to see if it gets fixed.
The video they have to preview is the best thing we've ever seen.
This isn't really a game review, but still. Everyone here is saying that you have to pay after five levels. No you freaking don't! There are twenty five free levels! So just shut up already.
Join Cory, a 40-year-old black man on a quest to touch the predidents nipples. He's gonna shake it up and change it. He'll take it all and rearrange it. You better understand that we've got Cory in the house. This anime is fun for the whole family. He's gonna shake it up and change it. He'll take it all and rearrange it. You better understand that we've got Cory in the house. Rated PG for extreme sexual violence.
Fun, challenging, and addictive! We don't think we'd put any money into it, but we're having fun with what they give you for free. It gets pretty hard in the later stages. Bravo devs.
Fun set of puzzles but we can't seem to buy the extra levels.
We have the first 2 games on our 3DS, and now we have this.
>mfw jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
Fun little puzzler with no ads. It's pretty short, but we got it for free and it's definitely well made enough to be worth a buck.
Loving it the one screen of levels is enough for us these levels add up to atleast an hour of gameplay but we know getting those stars will add weeks of playtime to this game we love this gameplay it fits with the original series it shows you guys never run out of ideas.
We wish you could of ported the first two games though.
Excellent! Is very simple and easy to use. We love this game!Great App.
People that complain that there are only 5 levels don't know what the are talking about; there are 25 levels. The app will ask you to buy the bonus pack, which is 99 cents, but gives you 25 extra levels, making 50 overall. Very good deal.
Very solid puzzle game. The gameplay is a little hit-or-miss, but the game's charm makes up for it.
We're guessing there's 25 free levels but to hell with confirming that with those blocks that get introduced in the last five where you can only tell the shape if you have water touching them. At the presumably last level and we've decided to not even bother putting in any more effort. Awfully glitchy menu screen too, needs a patch.
We honestly downloaded the game because of the trailers theme song lol. Catchy.
This game is amazing. The only draw back is that it makes you pay for level two , and the game is a little short but it really makes you think and it's fun at the same time.
The game is a great puzzle game but with only 25 levels and each level taking about 3 min you could beat it in about a day or two. Still it's fun an free so it's hard give it less than 4 stars.
This game is amazing. But its the first game in which we had to buy levels.
We love this game, as well as the one that's on 3DS. We highly recommend giving this a try.
Fun game; just wish you didn't have to beat the time to move on to the next level.
It's a fun and challenging game to play in its own right, but if you want the true MSF experience, get the first two games on 3DS. They have much more variety and platforming action.
We love this game and we always play it when we listen to our music on our headphones and the only thing that we dont like it that you cant mute the game, you have to listen to the annoying music of the game while listening to your music.. Please make an update that we could mute the game while listening to music.
MSF: HiD is a puzzle game in which you shuffle around blocks to create pipes for you to shoot water through to douse fires. You get 25 levels and 25 more for $0.99. Sounds alright until you realize they literally locked half the game behind a pay wall. The gameplay itself is fine, as the puzzles are challenging but not impossible. But each level comes with a par time attached to it for you to aim at beating. We got par for EVERY SINGLE LEVEL that you get without paying the extra $0.99. And you want to know what we got? NOTHING. That's right, for the beating the first 25 levels under the par time, you get nothing. There might be something for completing all 50 under the par time, but there is no point to having that par time if you don't give the player some kind of reward. So all the work we put into completing the game was for nothing. That's why our completionist rating for this game is: Play it.
Got it for free. That's all it's worth and that says a lot.
It's very nice game, but we just don't feel it. The colors are depressing.
Nice game to pass our time But we finished all the levels in half an hour and cant buy more levels Thats why only 3 stars If the problem is fixed and the levels are more difficult then probably 5 stars.
No point in adding the time limit Messes with completionists like ourselves.
Judging from our gameplay, this is a very intriguing game. The puzzle format has been taken on before by other games, but WayFoward has changed that. The pipes do not have to be fully connected in order to put out the fire, and/or mud. The game is really nice, we also like the fact that you can save citizens, but there is a downfall. We have seen many reviews that says you have to pay $0.99 to advance to the rest of the 25, after you finish 5. We must agree, we do not like this, especially for this game being App of the Week. Conclusion; Fun puzzling game, but has to get rid of the pay-to-advance setting. Rating; 3/5 Stars.
The puzzles all feel the same. We didn't find it fun to shoot for the challenge stars.
The 3ds version is much better than this but it is an ok game.
Game play is good. Naturally fun and fairly intuitive but the game suffers from poor level design. Nothing is inherently hard but rather frustrating tedious to maneuver pieces in the right order. Which means it quickly stops being fun and quickly becomes annoying.
We enjoy the puzzles a lot but the voice acting is extremely grating. We get that it's supposed to have that bubbly anime feel but a sound control menu is needed really badly because it gets old quick.
Game Mechanics are top notch, the puzzle itself is meh.
When we started the game, we were automatically told to buy the new maps, as well as told us to sign into ITunes. The puzzles are a nice challenge, but not worth buying.
The free ones are too easy you'll finish them in an hour an then you have to pay to get more. So if you want a quick pass time its fine.
We quickly beat this game it has a great look a good soundtrack and that's it the puzzle aspect of the game needs a little improvement and it's a very short game even shorter without the extra map pack add on.
The puzzles are all pretty much the same, none of them is particularly insightful, and it doesn't take long before you finish the ones you paid for and they start nagging you to buy more.
This was previously a paid game and we paid for it. Now, though, apparently the developer didn't make the money that he wanted to, so he turns the game into a free game for everyone. But, of course, the catch is that in this shady update he fills the game with advertisements, hoping to annoy all of the free users into making the in-app purchase to remove the ad's. That is totally immoral and a complete ripoff to everyone who paid their hard earned money for this game. If you paid previously, you now get ad's in your game and have to pay all over again to remove those advertisements. Only in the mobile application arena can a crooked, immoral and unethical developer like this get away with such a shady bait-and-switch action. Nowhere else would customers put up with this crap. We haven't updated to this most recent and vile update. So, thankfully we still have the full, ad-free game that we paid for. And we, of course, will not ever update this game again and we would highly advise other paid customers to never update this game either. It's criminal developers like this crook that give respectable and moral game developers a real bad name on the App Store. You should be ashamed of your highly unethical actions. We know we will never be purchasing another one of this developer's games. IPhone 6 Plus/ iOS 8.3.
