A port of the puzzle game Flowit by ByteHamster. The original is an Android app written in Java; this is a reimplementation written in Lua.

The port runs on desktop and PlayStation Vita. The desktop port is based on LÖVE and the Vita port uses Lua Player Plus Vita by Rinnegatamante.

Features

  • Easy to learn, hard to master.
  • 75 levels available.
  • Clean and elegant design.

Installation

Download the latest VPK release file and sideload it using VitaShell or similar.

Gameplay depends on the touchscreen, so the experience is better on the handheld PS Vita than on PS TV.

User guide

How to play

Fill all boxes with the color of their border by using the special boxes. Those, for example, fill surrounding boxes in only one direction with their color. Discover various types of special boxes in the provided level packs.

The app can run in English, Chinese (中文), or Japanese (日本語). Localization strings are in lib/translation.lua.

Making levels

New levels can be created using the online editor at https://flowit.bytehamster.com and contributed upstream.

Alternatively, you can create levels and append the resulting XML to the level packs in assets/levels/.
