What exactly does that mean, "It's like our other Sparkle games"?

Because this looks EXACTLY like flOw. Exactly. I doubt heavily that this is a coincidence.

As long as we agree that you're totally ripping off someone else's work. Carry on.

Steam has a massive population of extremely ♥♥♥♥ing stupid people. Do not lower yourself to their level.

Doom and Quake are both ID games... I'm guessing this may be allowed... lol

It's really sad & ugly to see a developer copying another game so blatantly. BTW Doom and Quake are both ID games...

I first encountered such game in 2006, which is the famous Flow. The version that I played was a Flash (an Adobe plugin for web browser for people who are too young to know) game that you can download and play for free on a desktop PC. The game was created by Jenova Chen (a Chinese game designer, you can find him on Wikipedia) for his master's thesis, to showcase the use of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Flow theory for game design and get you hooked to the game, I guess this is how the game got its name. I bought the game for my PSP (PlayStation Portable, think Nintendo switch in a smaller formfactor, my device is still running after 15 years!) the next year, which is much better than the free one. Some years later I bought Sparkle 2 Evo on Steam out of curiosity and in the hope that it would better than Flow, unfortunately IMHO it is not. The funny thing is, when I saw Sparkle Zero I thought it was Flow itself but renamed (maybe it is?).
