Flow Free: Shapes is the newest twist on Big Duck Games\' Flow series

Author: Simon Jan 06,2025

Flow Free: Shapes, the latest puzzle game from Big Duck Games, challenges players to navigate colorful pipes around various shapes. The core gameplay remains true to the Flow Free formula: connect same-colored lines without overlaps to complete the flow. This iteration adds a new twist by incorporating differently shaped grids, offering a fresh take on the classic pipe puzzle.

With over 4000 free puzzles, players can enjoy hours of brain-teasing fun. Additional challenges await in Time Trial and Daily Puzzle modes. While the game's core mechanics are familiar to Flow Free fans, the introduction of shape-based grids provides a welcome change of pace.

The decision to release this as a separate entry in the series, rather than an update, is a minor point of contention. However, the quality of the gameplay remains consistently high. Flow Free: Shapes is available now on iOS and Android. For those seeking more puzzle game options, check out our list of the top 25 best puzzle games on iOS and Android.
