[edit] Kinda like Spore?

The description of this game sounds an awful lot like the game Spore. Is that its intention? StealthHit06 02:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The online freeware game is nothing like spore. The version that will be released could possibliy resemble Spore, but it wouldn't be as deep, unless they add land to the gameplay and buildings. Lovok 15:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The only resemblence to Spore is the tidepool phase in Spore when you swim around and eat stuff. In Spore you design a being by modifying their bones and movements, and flOw is affected by what you eat and in which order you eat it. In Spore you are trying to advance to the next level, and in flOw you are just trying to eat everything until you beat that stage, and you go on to eat more. It's a minigame, not a simulation. Play the flash version to see what I am talking about. Cmsjustin 13:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Also of note is that Jenova Chen, the creator of flOw, is now working on Will Wright's Spore team. Cmsjustin 13:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

lol, let's say a game that's been released already is trying to rip off a game that hasn't even been completed yet and that we've neither played nor seen in any real form and has nothing whatsoever in common with it aside from being a game played by humans on an electronic device. Imbecile.--59.121.204.243 05:52, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

wtf man he wasn't saying it was a rip off all he was asking was are they similar no reason to go all fanboy on us —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derelix (talk • contribs) 10:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

On the forums for fl0w, the creator mentions that he's working on Spore, so the similarities seen between the two probably aren't coincidence. -NotAnAccount, Mon 12 Feb, 5:57 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

Agreed. Both sections are one and the same, and judging by the game screenshot, it's supposed to be an O, not a zero. Lovok 15:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree as well. This should be a no-brainer. Valdoran 15:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Merge. I'll get right on it. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

This is in response to the request on the VG assessment page. I have rated this article as Start-class, Low-importance, and have a few suggestions for improving it to B-class or higher.

This article desperately needs a review section, now that the game is out. So...add one! The list of PS3 playable creatures is too long as well (and lists are a bad idea in an article in general), so try to convert it to a prose paragraph. I know there's not much, if you'll pardon the pun, "depth" to the gameplay, but try to describe the differences between the flash and PS3 versions a bit more (unless there aren't any more, I don't have a PS3, just played the flash). Finally, and the review section will help with this, get more references. The 2 you have for release dates are good, but you need more. If you change things and feel like the article deserves a higher rating, just renominate it! --PresN 05:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Game Completion

How long does it take to finish the game? Drnoitall.hello 07:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

How can this be called a game? It's a gimmick most people pay for, play once, then never go back to again. Looks pretty but where is the "play"?! -- 62.25.106.209 16:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

its very fun and entertaining its not a matter of finishing the game because you can rush to the end if you want —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derelix (talk • contribs) 10:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Downloadable Add-on

There has been a new creature added in a downloadable pack for the PS3. The article needs to be updated to include this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.167.217 (talk) 02:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Electroplankton

Tjis game reminds me a lot of Electroplankton. Like with the little stylized micro-organisms, and the background. Think it's possible that they were inspired by Electroplankton?Emma Hordika (talk) 21:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)Emma Hordika
