  1. Re:New Flow Video by Score+Whore · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't get it. I've played the game. It's not that spectacular. Has about 30 minutes total play time. There's no reward. You just repeat the same thing over and over and it never gets harder or more interesting.

    When I first saw this story I got excited because it was about Flow. Then I saw it was about the music and I thought "so what, its the same damn new agey crap for the whole thing, who cares". However I have to admit, the music is INCREDIBLY well suited to the game. It is very soothing and has for lack of a better term....an "ethereal" feel about it.

    I'm psyched for Spore but I really wish there was a merging of the feel of Flow with the mechanics of Spore. There's almost something divine about playing Flow that would translate perfectly with its look and feel to the absolute godhood granted by Spore.

  3. Cloud by Domstersch · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Personally, I prefer the music of Vincent Diamante - from 'Cloud', another project that has a feel of flow about it. You can grab the OST from the extra download page.
