GameSpy writes: "Something about Flock immediately draws you in. You look at the screen and you're faced with a world unlike any you've seen before. Is the ground ... quilted? Yes! The terrain is made up of big panels, stitched together like a thick frontier quilt. It's soft and fluffy. Fields of "wheat" are actually big shaggy piles of brown carpet. This is perhaps the cuddliest game ever. You want to just snuggle up on top of the level to take a nap.
You're in control of a soft little plush UFO that pops out of a stitched-together mothership, and your job while invading this uncommonly comfy world is to collect tiny animals. Hardcore gamers might take one look at the bright cheery graphics and say "Bah!" (Ram! Ewe!) But underneath the fuzzy-wuzzy exterior lurks a game with a wicked sense of humor and chuckle-inducing physics puzzles that calls to mind puzzle classics like Lemmings. It was one of the more pleasant surprises of the E3 show."
Spiffy:
-Simple controls; unique cozy visual style
-Clever physics puzzles; level editor
-Silly barnyard humor
Iffy:
-How could we say anything iffy about Flock? That would be like kicking a baby sheep in the face
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "It's fitting that Flock wants to treat players like its plethora of creatures: softly wooing you to stay as long as you wish. Sure, it still utilizes basic design principles: the wonder of what's hiding beneath the clouds, frilly cosmetics to alter your style, and an engaging collect-a-thon system wedded to the main objective; however, you never feel confined by them. That description may seem too abstract and imperceptible in writing, but that warmth within its design is immediately felt with a controller in hand. Sometimes that relaxed vibe could've been more substantive in its quest structure, but leaning too far would've diminished its unique identity. For whatever creative or technical missteps, virtually anyone who Flock Tuahs Richard Hogg & Hollow Ponds' latest is sure to enjoy it."
Flock is the latest game from Hollow Ponds and Richard Hogg. Nurture and guide your own flock of adorable flying creatures.
Review - Consider Flock like the finest of fine wines: enjoyed best with a group of friends having a chat, taken at your own pace, not rushed
