This is what you need after a stressed out day...Very cool...Synth Sounds are 'Out Of This World'...I play around with a lot of Synths and come up with some weird sounds myself..but this is amazing stuff

You should'nt have done this because it's very addictive...I've downloaded it but there are so many other games to choose from...And they all so good...They should put an age restriction on this one...1-6 year old then we wouln't get addicted to it...

No! I can't do that, i already have to go offline to get some work done, if i downloaded flow to play offline, that'd be the end of the world!

Thanks, great (too good ;)) reference!  :Thmbsup:

I got down to where it's all the way black and as far as I can tell I've killed/eaten everything there is up until this point, but there is one single little dot that I can't eat. Something tells me that when I do, that's the end of the game.

Is there any way to tell if there is still food on a level?

yeah i got down to all black - there are some big orange creatures down there that will eat you and pop you up a level..
(ps. for those that haven't read the help for the game, you eat the (+) things to go deeper and (-) to go up, so me and deozaan are eating (+) to go as deep down in the "pond" as possible):

i haven't tried going "up" as far as possible.. i'll bet there are different creatures up there.

Did anyone find the end of the game?
I went to the bottom, and ate everything i could find, but then, nothing appeared.
I could only find the "go up" and "go down" thinguies in each level..

That's the object of the game so that you can forget about reality for the rest of infinity...I've never got to the end of it...The object of stop playing is when you get bored of hearing the same sound over and over again..HehHeh

Very cool.. though it is annoying that it seems like you aren't really going anywhere while playing. That's one of the most important things about games: the player needs to feel some sort of progress. Of course your organism grows and the other beings around you get harder to deal with, but that's about it! Nothing substantial changes.. as far as I could tell, at least. Also, given the fact that there is no way to save a game or even pause it, I assume the game is built in such a way where players are expected to just sort of come back when they feel like it, starting the game over every time.
