I feel like this type of game would not have difficulty. Like once you get it, every level is easy. Am I wrong?

I haven't played this one but have played Free Flow, which I assume this is based on because Free Flow is very old, and you're mostly right once you figure out the trick.

But it can be made more difficult. Free Flow has levels with bridges, some with portals, etc. I know they have a couple other interactions as well but I can't remember. I stopped keeping up with it. Nothing upped the difficulty too much but I imagine they would seem much more difficult if you haven't been playing for long.

But you know the right arrow top legt, right? Admittedly a big button 'next' would be nice

Yeah it just breaks my "flow" when I reach up to tap it because the game itself is all on the lower part of my screen

I am thankful for every fdroid game recommendation I get because all I see when I browse is just claude coded or bad (or really good for 3h, until its good sometimes because of lack of content.. Or way to complicated for a mobile game)

Fun for a little bit, but got too easy way too fast even at largest sizes.

It starts with a 5x5 grid and goes up to 14x14. It's way more difficult on a bigger grid.

Amazing, a few weeks ago I was looking for a foss version on f-droid of the classic Flow Free game and I'm glad it's finally here

Thanks for the recommendation! It has been an immediate addiction. Just today I have finished the first 150 maps from 5x5 till 9x9. At first the first ones were too easy and as the difficulty increased I have started to see the patterns and now even the bigger sizes are relatively simple, but still some make me stop and think first. I avoid using the drawing in short paths to make it a bit harder for me. Only the minimum steps allowed, and yet it is still too easy most of the time like some others have said. That's not necessarily bad, as it feels like a game to relax, connecting the pipes is very satisfactory.

I like the "tangle" aspect of the game, but not the "space filling" aspect.
