Found this awfully addictive last night, ended up playing through it all the way, twice.

It's a bit of an oldy tbh but very relaxing and somewhat like the first level of Spore.

KNiVES · 12 Oct 2008 at 10:36

It's also a PS3 game. This is a very well known and popular flash game.

Thats a long intro just for a flash game

I'm confused. Is it just like a mini game of the first section of Spore is this a loading screen?

Played it for far too long and managed to evolve into a second life form, one of the swirly ball things, muuuch harder, gave up after 5 mins!

eat the red thing to go up a level, eat the blue one to go down a level.

Or just use the cursor keys on your keyboard.

edit: sorry. That doesn't appear to work in this version.

This game is another example of a good internet creation that made it to the big time. It was free on the internet for awhile, then got adopted and sold for console use. Hopefully the designer is raking in the cash now.

The term "Flow" is most interesting as well. It is said to be the state where the task is difficult enough to not be boring, yet easy enough to not be frustrating (to sum up). Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_state

they should have called it something else then, because it sure was boring

Does it just go on and on?
I've played once with the blue background, then once with the orange background and after that it just seemed to go back to the worm thingy with the blue background again.
