Interesting and innovative game. You control a aquatic creature that becomes longer and you eat others, and must become strong enough and go deep enough to defeat the boss and evolve to another specie.

People post about this game a lot and I really don't understand it. There are no rewards, the gameplay is practically non-existent and repetitive and the artwork is pretty decent but without ever being interesting.

It's about the self pacing. Personally, I think fl0w is really boring, but if you read the guys thesis he has some decent ideas.

is that aquatic creature a snake by any chance?

its rather monotonous

wat does ur thinger look like at the last level, are you all huge as fuck or wat

Like that.

I shouldn't have missed so much on the early levels, thought the red things give extra points rather than advancing levels.

Once you get to the last level and eat everything there, you get to start over as one of the circular thingys. After that, I assume, you get to be one of the manta thingys..

You would think so, but actually the game loops back the snake.

Hah I'm done with the first part. 8)
And now I'm through twice. Well nothing happened after eating the endboss the second time... :(

The pc version ends there...

The game is in fact a bit boring but I found the idea cool and original.

There's one design error: defeating the boss is easier if you don't level your creature at all.

this game is to pacman what GA is to BA.

Talking about pacman... here is the smaller pacman in the world!
