Read full description

Flowt is a focused strategy game about building efficient sea routes. Connect offshore ports, balance supply and demand, and keep cargo moving under pressure. The goal is simple: prevent overloads and push your best score as high as you can. How it plays • Every port accepts one cargo type and continuously produces the other two. • Ports can store only a small buffer. If they exceed it, a countdown begins—fail to clear it in time and the run ends. • Draw lines to connect ports. Ships follow those routes automatically, picking up what’s produced and delivering what’s needed. • Plan loops or back-and-forth routes; once placed, segments become permanent, so pathing discipline matters. • Storms slow ships; islands block routes—your network must adapt. • As your score rises, cargo spawns faster, testing the resilience of your design. • Hit milestones to unlock additional lines. Choose upgrades to suit your network: add an extra ship, increase capacity, or boost speed. Designed for clarity • Clean ocean aesthetic with subtle motion and lighting. • Crisp haptics and sound cues that reinforce state changes. • Smooth performance with responsive line drawing. Progression and competition • Create a profile and compete on the global leaderboard. • Share a score card image to challenge friends. Player options • Music and SFX toggles. • Email/password sign-in or Sign in with Apple. Fair model • Pay once. No ads. No pay-to-win. No energy timers. Notes • An account is required to save scores and participate in the leaderboard. • Internet connection required for authentication and ranking. Support • Questions or feedback: flowt.apps@gmail.com
