FlOw
flOw is a
Flash game created by
Jenova Chen and Nicholas Clark. The game involves the player guiding a tiny, aquatic
worm-like
microorganism through various depths of the ocean to consume other organisms and to evolve their organism as the player advances. It is currently available in both online and as a stand-alone offline download free of charge on Jenova Chen's official website. flOw is part of Chen's
thesis research at the
University of Southern California's Interactive Media Division and includes an embedded design of DDA (dynamic difficulty adjustment) which allows players with different skill levels to intuitively customize their experience and enjoy the game at their own desired pace. Within the first two weeks following its release, flOw attracted approximately 350,000 downloads. By the time the
thatgamecompany website launched, it had increased to more than 600,000 downloads. The latest version, as of November 2006, was released on
April 14,
2006.
