This is the minimalist game we need to talk about: simple graphics, simple icon, no music, but a brand new idea. (Yet I wont regret saying minimalist not an option. Addition polishing might yield  still better results.)

Remember time of good old video game tetris. There was no music, no graphics, still it was a fun. No character, no dialog, some random shaped tiles, even today I liked to play it.  Flow is a kind of such game. For any developer out their, I must say that, if you got such an idea than, you can turn into some millions.

Main menu: Again minimalist
Don't get disappointed by the dark background; it looks kind cool on a real idevice. Only thing I disappointed is lack of music, again its OK. Sound effects are nice.

Game play

Connect the same colored dots and that's it. Note that you can't overlap the lines while connecting.


In the end
Initial levels are very easy. You can increase the difficulty by choosing a larger board.


I have not checked what the inapp purchases contain.
