This is a Lua-based (LPP) reimplementation of the Android puzzle game Flowit.
A port of the puzzle game [https://github.com/Flowit-Game/Flowit/ Flowit] by ByteHamster. The original is an Android app written in Java; this is a reimplementation written in Lua. The port runs on desktop and PlayStation Vita. The desktop port is based on [https://love2d.org/ LÖVE] and the Vita port uses [[Lua Player Plus Vita]] by Rinnegatamante.
 
==About==
Easy to learn, hard to master. Play the addicting puzzle game Flowit now and to think outside the box. There are already 75 levels available and even more to come. The game features a clean and elegant design - you will be amazed by the simplicity and complexity at the same time. Fill all boxes with the color of their border by using the special boxes. Those, for example, fill surrounding boxes in only one direction with their color. Discover various types of special boxes in the provided level packs.
 
==Running on PS Vita==
* Download the latest VPK release file and sideload it using VitaShell or similar.
* Gameplay depends on the touchscreen, so the experience is better on the handheld PS Vita than on PS TV.

A port of the puzzle game Flowit by ByteHamster. The original is an Android app written in Java; this is a reimplementation written in Lua. The port runs on desktop and PlayStation Vita. The desktop port is based on LÖVE and the Vita port uses Lua Player Plus Vita by Rinnegatamante.

About

Easy to learn, hard to master. Play the addicting puzzle game Flowit now and to think outside the box. There are already 75 levels available and even more to come. The game features a clean and elegant design - you will be amazed by the simplicity and complexity at the same time. Fill all boxes with the color of their border by using the special boxes. Those, for example, fill surrounding boxes in only one direction with their color. Discover various types of special boxes in the provided level packs.

Running on PS Vita

  • Download the latest VPK release file and sideload it using VitaShell or similar.
  • Gameplay depends on the touchscreen, so the experience is better on the handheld PS Vita than on PS TV.
