Happy 2017 – We’ve Moved!

In Uncategorized on January 11, 2017 by Big Duck Games

We are excited to welcome the new year with a shiny new web presence for Big Duck Games at bigduckgames.com. We will keep this archive of posts but mostly likely will no longer publish new posts here. Feel free to follow our new site or signup for our newsletter.

2016 was an amazing year for us. We released the acclaimed Flow Free: Hexes™, rolled out a number of content updates and improvements to Flow Free® and Flow Free: Bridges®, and doubled the size of our team (by hiring Ebyan and Marc, that is!).

Here’s to making 2017 our best year yet!

What’s new in Flow Free v1.2

In Uncategorized on July 28, 2012 by Big Duck Games

Flow Free version 1.2 for iOS and version 1.4 for Android were released earlier this week. Here’s a highlight of what’s new:

More Levels!

  • Four new level packs, two free, two paid. On the Free side, there’s now a Bonus Pack which contains additional levels from 5×5 to 9×9 and also an 8×8 mania pack which contains 150 8×8 levels. We thought this 8×8 mania pack might be a good way to challenge some of the more experienced players.
  • In the Level Store you can now purchase the Pink Pack which is a Jumbo size pack containing 10×10 – 14×14 levels and you can purchase the 9×9 mania pack. We’ve also added an option to purchase all the levels at a discount.

View your solution unobstructed!

After you complete a puzzle, you can now dismiss the dialog that comes up in order to view your solution. The middle button along the bottom is usually a refresh button but when you complete the puzzle, it will now turn into a close button which will close the dialog. You can also click anywhere outside the dialog on the board.

Click outside the dialog to view your solution

Hope you enjoy the update! Let us know if you have feedback or ideas for our next release. (Note – we haven’t yet enabled in-app purchases on Android. We are considering those.)
