Opinion:
Ill be honest and say that when I first saw Flow, it looked like a game that someone thew together in an evening to make a quick buck. But seeing as how the app was in the top 10 Free apps in the App store, I had to check it out.

Since we are being honest here, I will say that Flow got me by surprise. The basics of the game are as follows. You have a field of suares (ranging from 6x6 to 9x9 depending on the difficulty). The field is populated with pairs of dots, your goal is to connect all of the pairs while at the same time using up all of the squares on the board. Although I am usually indifferent to games of this type, after solving a few boards, I was absolutely hooked on Flow!

The free version of Flow comes with 150 boards, and a wide range of difficulty. One thing of note is that the iPad and iPhone versions have completely different boards, in essence making them side-quels to each other.

Most of the puzzles are easy, especially the ones on the smaller 6x6 and 7x7 boards. However I did have some tough time with a few 9x9 levels.

Flow is an absolutely perfect bathroom buddy. Each level can last less than 15 seconds, and with such an abundance of levels Flow is extremely modular and easily fits in to any schedule. You can drop 30 seconds on it and still feel like you have accomplished something. Ive yet to play the iPad version but Flow on iPhone is a must have, especially considering that its free. And if you are in love with it, you can purchase extra level packs via in-game purchases. If you dont alreayd have it, go grab it :).
