A downloadable game

Flow Below is a 2D Platformer which tells the story of a young spirit, who dwells underground to help their village by turning on water valves which transported the village's water supply, as they have been mysteriously turned on...

Note! This game is in VERY EARLY development, meaning that you WILL encounter bugs, but nothing major hopefully. If you do find a bug, please comment about it!

As you enter the entrance of the caves, you trip. Leading yourself to a very painful fall, which leaves you with no memory, and no reason as to why you are underground.

While playing the game, you will encounter many unique characters, albeit with very subjective humour, as you discover new unfamiliar locations, which tell a story as to how you're village is where it is today, all the while picking up the pieces of your memory.

The game is divided into 4 primary areas, each having a unique theme and idea. with each area being split into 2 sub-areas.  Which introduce a new mechanic as you progress through the caves back up to where you came from!


The demo currently, only has 1 sub-area done with 7 more to be included with the final game, alongside many new modes, features and stories.


Since this is a demo with the purpose of playtesting, your feedback is more than appriciated, so any ideas, questions, criticisms or thoughts are welcome!
