Time Wasting on the go

What do you do when you have a few down minutes someplace random? Sure, I should probably be writing, but let’s face it, you can’t be in a constant state of writer-readiness. So me, I play around on my Android phone.

I’ve been there and done that with Angry Birds and 100 Floors. My latest obsessive game is a fairly innocuous-looking game called Flow Free.

At its base, Flow Free (probably just called Flow, but I’m cheap so mine is free) is just a connect-the-dots puzzle game, only you aren’t allowed to cross your own lines. The first few levels of free play (puzzle levels) are pretty simple, but things get tougher as you increase the size of the grid.

But it’s not the free play but the time trial levels I’ve been obsessing over. It consists of a series of the easier puzzles strung together on a timer – 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 4 minutes. And of course it keeps track of your records.

I can’t find other brag-posts of people touting their Flow accomplishments like I find for other games, but here’s mine.

Yeah, I’ve got to remember that when I complain about never having enough time to do stuff. Anyway, Flow Free is fun, addictive, simultaneously easy and challenging, and free through Google Play. What more could you want?
