As I say, This game is really addictive. I found this game on the web and at first it looked pretty boring. But fortunately I keep playing it, Then i realized that the game no matter it was simple, I was having a great time playing it. In difficulty it is kind of easy, but when you pass from the first part it gets some difficult. By the way if you are interested in playing it you can play it at: http://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/flowing/ .
In fl0w you start off as a small sea creature and you eat other creatures to evolve into a bigger creature and if other creatures bit you it reduces your size and you have to eat more creatures to regain your size.

Being a bigger creature means you have a wider mouth to increase your chances of a successful bite but it doesn't really give you any extra advantages.

You start off near the surface of the sea and eating certain lifeforms(indicated by red sonar)will allow you to go deeper and face bigger more dangerous creatures while you can return to the surface by eating lifeforms(indicated by blue sonar)where the smaller less dangerous lifeforms will be.

Obviously the deeper you go the darker the water gets and the more bizzare lifeforms are down there.

The music is so relaxing,you hear an tranquility sound,that suits the ocean and the feeling of the beginning of life(since life did start in the ocean)

You hear sounds effects that sound like you're under water and it's peaceful.

The main problem with the gameplay is there isn't much depth,I don't know if you can actually lose the game as if your creature has been eaten a lot you can simply return close to the surface where the smaller non dangerous lifeforms are and eat them to become big again.So there is no real challenge.

This game has kind of the idea from the Cell Phase from Spore. But one difference is that you don't decide how to evolve.

I hope you try it
