To play it now, downloading it gives a Windows exe. There is now Platform/PlayStation3 version of it, created by Creator/ThatGameCompany. In the game, you play as a creature made of white lines that eat other white lined creatures.

8
9	* AllThereInTheManual: Well, the game's [[http://interactive.usc.edu/projects/cloud/flowing/flOw_04142006.zip download]]'s xml, which reveals that the creature is named Snakefish, the first boss is called Jellyfish, the second boss is called Manta, and there's a creature called a Flockfish in Level 14. In the second round, [[spoiler:you play as a Jellyfish]].
10	* BeautifulVoid: The only features are the creatures you eat, the creature you are, and the watery substance around you.
11	* CarnivorousHealingFactor: Eating the other creatures and these creatures' cells not only regenerates your health, but it also makes you grow.
12	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: A white enemy creature is unwounded or calm, a blue one is wounded and [[MercyInvincibility invulnerable]], and orange ones are attacking.
13	* ExperienceMeter: The creature's body functions as one. You eat things, you fill up the circles in your body, and once they're all filled you get bigger and all the circles are empty again.
14	* MercyInvincibility: Some enemies have this state after they get attacked, where they turn blue and are slightly faded out.
15	* MirrorBoss: Sometimes you have to eat creatures that are the creature you are, except usually smaller. At the very last level, you face another one.
16	* NoticeThis: The creatures that send you up and down a level if you eat them radiate a pulse of blue and red if they're off the screen, so you know where they are.
17	* OneWordTitle: The game is just called ''flow''.
18	* RedIsViolent: Some attacking creatures are red.
19	* RisingUpTheFoodChainGame: You start as a small creature that eats things to become bigger fish, help you eats the other creatures that try to eat you.
