Community Insight:
This game you should do and that is all.
Contains hundreds of levels to keep you occupied day after day! The somewhat liquid-ish illusion is build with sound effects. We love how the shapes, and sometimes 3D add a whole new complexity to the puzzle! Certainly is something.
While there are currently five versions of flow free, this- by far- the BEST one we have ever played. The complicated designs in levels actually offer a challenge! This has sharpened our mind a lot too. The puzzles start off comfortably easy, but then get excruciatingly hard, which we like! We dont have all the versions (only 3), we look forward to fully completing them all.
We love this app because we are learning shapes like Cubes, ABCs, Circles, and more kinds of shapes.

One thing we like to think back on after completing a puzzle is where the insight was. Having a playback option would be perfect for this and also possibly satisfying to watch for the players.
We completed all the puzzles in the Flow game, so we had to get this one, too. This is a wonderful way to occupy oneself waiting or winding down.
Yes, it does have ads. But it is a good puzzle game.
Youre so sweet Big Duck Games LLC.
This App is MUCH FUN AND VERRRY ADDICTIVE!! Its definitely 2 thumbs up.
Great mind game. This is entertaining and the different levels are there to work your mind strategizing how to complete the puzzle. Love this the odd shapes.
We wanted something that not only had limited adds but made our brain interested and kept us from scrolling through videos and this game was it. It put our Brian to work and before we knew it was on the next section, we love this game and we think you should try it too.
Its really fun and it helps ur brain.
We love this game as its a fun puzzle that we can play anywhere at any time! Better than the original in our opinion, and more challenging.
The last set of puzzles on August 2 were the best Ive ever seen! Almost took us back to our crypto days.
This is a very fun and challenging puzzle game and there are many things we like about it, but we would really appreciate it if it had an editor to make puzzles for our friends (:.
Its just like the generaters in roblox forsaken.
Love all flow free games, but why am we getting ads when we paid for this game? Please fix, we watch enough ads.
This game is great brain food for the elderly. We play 3 of the games they put out religiously, daily, (one for almost 2600 consecutive days) we feel they keep our head reallysharp and Im 75 year old.
Flow Free is an amazing game to play even when you dont have any connection. You can turn off cellular data for it and it is totally fine. We love this game so much. Play Flow Free!! Definitely recommend it to family friends and strangers.
The shapes that are on the app are amazing, its so satisfying to connect the colors to each other, on different shapes, instead of just squares and rectangles. Our favorite shapes, are the circles, the 8 shapes, and the stars. The ovals and cubes are good too, but those other three shapes we mentioned above, were our favorites. By the way, the next time you update the app, please add some star packs, because the only packs that have star shapes are the Starter Pack and the Kids Pack. The other four shapes, the ovals, 8 shapes, circles, and cubes, all have another pack, other than the Starter Pack and the Kids Pack. So, can you please add more packs that have star shapes. Thanks.
This is very fun and it relieves stress.
It is fun and it works our brain we love it and recommend it.
Easy and fun to play. Good stress reliever.
But our most favorite are the party pack, windmill, and overpass flows the knot flow pack, alley pack and clover packs are our most liked too.
This is so relaxing when your mad.
It makes us so calm and helps with our strategy skills and its just so peaceful definitely ten out of ten.
One level was so hard to finish.
Edit: They fixed the buttons at the bottom during gameplay to match the other games. Im not using a bunch of hints we dont need anymore. Thank you! Very happy Im not sure which person decided to do this but the reset button is in a different area compared to the other games and instead they put the use hints button. Not happy.

We find this game challenging and relaxing. We were playing Flow Free when they introduced Flow Free: Shapes. We love this new version! Its clever, has a great variety of puzzles with overpasses, knots, tesseracts, and you can play at your own pace or follow the daily schedule. It has lots of activities built in and the free play has all kinds of clever puzzles. In daily play, they sometimes give you a message within the puzzlesjust love that! You can also change the color schemes. We bought the ad free, so there are no other interruptions unless we want a free hint (you can also reasonably buy hint packages). We had a triple digit streak in Flow Free, and am approaching that in Shapes. The best part of both these games is that there are NO timers! Highly recommend these games if you want to enjoy a good challenge at your own pace. To the developers: thanks for the hours of fun with your games! Looking forward to more.
Kudos to the dev team, Im impressed! We were a big fan of the original Flow Free but wound up getting bored because the games werent challenging enough. With this Shapes version, you all have found clever ways to make it fun, exciting and challenging. Great job.
Very very good game, ads every 5 levels and also lets you know when there is a ad. Keep up the good work.
We have been playing the flow games since they came out we loveeee these games pleaseeee please please make more levels!!!!! We dont even have to take second to solve your puzzles our finger just does the work. Your puzzles are so much fun to just have some thing to do.
We have all five flow free apps and find them to be amazingly fun and challenging. They start out easy and then they have some that are quite challenging so no matter what level youre at. Youll be able to enjoy this game. You dont have to complete one puzzle to move onto the next if you get stumped, you can move on or you can buy hints to help you through the puzzle and theyre very reasonable priced. What really nice is that the games themselves are free. We hope you enjoy these games suspense as we do give them all a try.
Update: we love the one-line connection like this weeks weekly game. Very awesome! Old review: we love this version of Flow Free! We especially love the games that loop behind cubes or swirl around like cloverleaf highways! We never know where a line is going to take us, but it swirls around the loop, and suddenly, there is the dot-mate, just waiting to be connected! Ive been playing Flow Free every single day, since there was just the classic Flow Free app (which should be renamed Flow Free Classic, but who am we to mess with perfection?) our streak records dont reflect every day, because early on, they didnt show how many days we played, and there were a few glitches that broke the streak. Still, Im not trying to prove anything to anyone but ourselves; so if a streak breaks from a glitch, and we fail to catch it, we just keep on playing! Ive been playing these so much that we can automatically play without examining the puzzle, first. We can play two puzzles at the same time with two hands. Im always trying to find ways to make it more challenging, such as predetermining which order we will play (reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, violets, pinks, whites, greys in that order, for instance). The only puzzle we find extremely challenging is the Warps puzzle that has a plus shaped border. But Im beginning to finally catch on to it. Its an obsession because Im playing on three devices, now. The earliest phone is iPhone 5, and it doesnt allow transition from one color to another or line-break prevention (which occasionally causes us to break up a line already drawn). Its an old device and there is no way to fix it. If we move the classic to the phone we have this game on (which will NOT work on iPhone 5), we may lose the streak we have so far. We know, we said we would just move on, but we enjoy playing it on the current phone. Since we inherited our parents CAG, we now have two birds making the Flow Free sound effects. This is one game we recommend.
Basically a perfect game. Super simple, addictive, challenging enough yet easy enough. Great time killer. Amazing value.
SO ADDICTING CANT STOP LITERALLY KEPT PLAYING UNTIL MY PHONE DIED PLAYED IT WHEN we WAS YOUNGER. THEN FORGOT ABOUT IT. AND WHEN we GOT AN AD ABOUT IT we WAS STUCK.
We really enjoy this game, it challenges our mind. There are lots of puzzles to challenge all skill levels. Definitely worth unlocking the bonus puzzles. Our only complaint is that our phone tends to heat up while playing this game. Never had an issue with other games doing this.
Calming sensational should be the game of the year.
Im only 50 levels into the starter and Im already addicted. This game is incredible.
Ive been a fan of this game series for years now and this one is definitely our favorite and the most satisfying one.
Love this app! Just enough challenge but satisfying.
We only got it today and we cant stop playing!!!! You must get this game if you dont you will totally regret it There are almost no ads and it is super satisfying.
Initially, this game UI didnt match the other flow games. But they have now fixed that, and made the UI consistent. The game itself is FANTASTIC. FUN, QUIET, STRESS FREE.
This id the best puzzle game ever the sfx and game is amazing.
We love flow free because we like the way how you connect a pipe just the the sound of water it sounds amazing and we use pen to write this review.
Ive played and completed their Flow Free and Flow Free: Hexes but this one might be our favorite version yet. Been playing Flow Free games over a decade and recommend them 100%. Its worth the low price to buy the app to avoid the ads. No glitches ever. Get lost in tons satisfying levels.
Ive been a fan of this series of games from the original and this version makes us think a lot more than the previous ones that we could usually breeze through. It is a well thought out sequel. Only negative point, and we dont use hints so it doesnt bother us is it is really easy to waste them when you didnt mean to use them.
What the title says, challenging but fun. Trying to solve these puzzles everyday as a daily thing is so fun. The daily ones are difficult but not throw your phone across the room difficult, just how we like it. We play this one more sometimes because we love the shapes, especially the cubes and the 8 shape one, its always so satisfying. Love these games so much, keep up the good work :3.
