Welcome to the free ALPHA Version of Flow Factory. A beta, a demo, and the full release are planned for Steam.

It would mean the world to me if you took a moment to fill out the quick survey after playing:

>>> SURVEY <<<

Flow Factory is a physics-based factory automation game. Tinker with complex production lines, make them faster and more efficient. Deal with freely floating pieces and defy gravity. Build, research, optimize. Relax and enjoy everything running smoothly.

AUTOMATE

In Flow Factory you will mine for raw materials and build a factory. You will process materials into higher quality materials. Manage energy and resources wisely to keep your factory running.

TINKER

Think about the best way to combine different materials. You can merge your materials, grip, transport, rotate, duplicate, reshape, melt, blast, sort, distribute, accelerate them. Be creative, experiment and see what works.

PHYSICS-BASED

All resources float freely. You can grab and move them anywhere. Be clever with your logistics to avoid parts falling off. You will have to make smart use of gravity. By the way, you can reverse gravity as well.

CREATE THE FLOW

"It works!" It's not just you who is going to be in flow state and forget about time. Make sure your materials are also in flow. Get them whizzing down conveyors and through your machines. Release blockages. It's a wonderful feeling when your complex, sophisticated production chains run smoothly. Just sit back and enjoy the flow!

OPTIMIZE

"Wait, you can do even better!" Keep optimizing your production chains and processes. Produce more, faster, and more efficiently. Also, research new technologies and upgrades.

Easy to learn - hard to master. There are no opponents and therefore little stress, but you have to be careful that your factory doesn't blow up in your face.

Ran into out of memory exception after about 30min of play. Pretty neat game!

Thanks for your feedback! I'm aware of the memory issue and working on it. Adding language selection is a great suggestion.

It looks like a fun game, but it is a little laggy on my low spec system. But I did crash it by trying to build a smelter where there was a tower of orange blocks that were joined together. Here is the error from the console (because I could not copy from the alert):

Thanks for trying and for reporting :) Yes, the Browser version may be a bit laggy on low spec systems. I plan to provide a downloadable Windows version, which is faster. Will check the error ;)

Hello there,

this is a really good game! It's easy to understand and I had no bugs while playing it.

I like the UI animations and the overall mix of stylized and post processing.

I rated 5 / 5 Stars!
