FLOW.EXE
Read full descriptionHide full description
FLOW.EXE is a mobile-first pipe puzzle with the soul of a developer terminal. Every level is a broken pipeline. Tap modules to rotate them and reconnect INPUT → OUTPUT before your moves run out. Switches open gates, tunnels teleport the flow, firewalls conduct only when their logic holds, buffers store charge, splitters fork the stream — and THE AGENT patrols the board, twisting your pipes behind your back. • 95 hand-tuned levels across five tiers — BASIC to LEGEND. • 21 mechanics, each taught the moment you meet it. • A fresh daily puzzle every day — build your streak. • Par-perfect star ratings, achievements and leaderboards. • Clean monospace design, light and dark themes, English and Russian. • No ads, no timers, no nonsense.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FLOW.EXE at none against Linko's 3. FLOW.EXE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks). Linko's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
