Author : Sebastian Feb 10,2025

Flow Free: Shapes, the latest puzzle game from Big Duck Games, introduces a new twist to their popular Flow series. This pipe puzzle challenges players to connect colored lines, forming complete "flows" within uniquely shaped grids, ensuring no lines overlap.

The gameplay remains simple at its core: connect the dots. However, the incorporation of various shapes adds a layer of strategic complexity. With over 4000 free puzzles, players can also tackle Time Trial mode or the daily challenges. The game builds upon the established Flow Free formula, adding shaped grids to the mix, joining previous iterations like Bridges, Hexes, and Warps.

While the core mechanics remain familiar, the decision to segment the series based on grid shape feels somewhat arbitrary. Despite this minor criticism, Flow Free: Shapes delivers a satisfying puzzle experience. Fans of the series will find this iteration a welcome addition, available now on iOS and Android.
