Game Vortex writes: "It still warms my heart to see that massive AAA game development is not the end all, be all, of game creation. Small studios no doubt feel the pinch of being, well ...small. But, this does not stop them from creating beautiful, simple, clean, fun games for players to enjoy. Flotilla should be on the lips of everyone who speaks of great independent games for 2010. I have always believed there is a simple formula to the success of independent games. Take a mechanic that works, have a clean interface and graphics, and then make it fun to play. No problem, easy peasy. Score one for Flotilla. "
