Flow / Flow Pie

**svjones** · 02-23-2013, 11:24 AM

I've played this game on my friends Android weeks ago and loved it. It's challenging, addictive and there are a lot of puzzles for you to play.

I'm just curious if anyone knows if it's a Native BlackBerry App or Android port? The PlayBook version was a port but they made a Native one soon after that worked much better, so I can assume it's Native but I just want to be sure before I purchase it.

Thanks

Here's a link to the app

Through lack of comments, I decided to go for it and bought the app.

As I assumed, it's not a port but native so I'm very pleased. Great game if you haven't tried it yet, highly recommend it

Flow Pie is native. There is also other Flow app which is Android port

Hey they have sequel to this game also available in Blackberry World. It is even better

BlackBerry World - Flow Pie Bridges

It's a little disconcerting that none of these seem to be published by the game's original creator, Big Duck Games...

So, just heard back from Big Duck games, and neither of the Flow titles in BlackBerry World are theirs. I'd suggest steering clear, and if you wanted to support those doing the real work, pelt the copy-cats with one-star ratings. With any luck, that would encourage the original developer to scope out BB10.

Big Duck is NOT the originator but a successful copy-cats of a flash game "Stream Master", it also has the unlimited levels to play, you can check it out from the link below:
Stream Master Unlimited

To be honest, I don't think one should blame one but sing high praises to others.

I would agree with you for copy cats of the original idea for games like Tiny Bird, Tomb Escape, etc and would definitely support the original developers.
But this game for sure does not fall into that category. Also the current implementation of Flow Pie and Flow Pie Bridges is very smooth and in ways equal or even better than the version on iOS/Android.

It's one thing to be a knock off (nobody can really lay claim to a game mechanic after all) but to out and out swipe branding in an effort to deceive consumers strikes me as sleazy. I'm all for Flow-like games on BB10, but they have to try at least a little bit to differentiate.
