The box art (with the help of your clever observation) seems that you lead a line, and face the leaders of other lines in "janken" / Rock-Paper-Scissors. I imagine that the winner would get the leader and his line added to the winner's line.

I really liked this box too, and am looking forward to seeing what you have in mind. I think I liked this cover even better before hearing the translation. Hope you don't let the title pervert your concept too badly.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to use Rock Paper Scissors as the main mechanic, if at all. I prototyped some floaty ribbon physics yesterday. Today I'm trying to design the controls. Maybe I'll have a sandbox prototype before I go to sleep? After that I'll see if I can procedurally generate those little critters with Flash's vector graphics. And then I will make a game.  |

It seems a month has passed. Oops! The game will be called "flowEST", since that title hasn't been claimed yet. |

Right now it is like this. Hmm... It didn't lag nearly as much when I ran it directly in the flash player.  The controls take some getting used to, but I like it. I bet it will work better if the player starts with just one critter and learns about the chain mechanics later... It's secretly a micromanagement RTS game, I think. I will have a version with a more clear objective ready for the deadline. I might make another, more complete version after that. |

Okay that is some FUN mechanics! I still got a bit overwhelmed by the long chain, and I'm not sure how to gather guys. I was just flying around with a single guy for fun.

Updated! It's basically a game now! Though it could use a bunch of polish.

I love the feeling this game gives out. Music fits really well, and it's fun balancing the chains to get a high score.

Nice job. I really like seeing the background and characters in motion. The music also fits this game well.

I love this! Really satisfying realization of that beautiful cover art The score aspect didn't matter that much for me; mostly I just enjoyed the music and cute bendy creatures ... |

3070. This game is secretly pretty stressful if you're trying to get a high score. But don't tell anyone! I wouldn't want to break the spell.  |

This game would be perfect for your multi-touch device of choice.
