flOw

In flOw, the player guides a small, multi-segmented worm- or snake-like creature through an aquatic environment. The game world, which is viewed from a top-down perspective, consists of two-dimensional planes stacked vertically upon each other. A blurred version of the layer below appears in the background of each plane. Planes contain organisms of varying sizes; the player's creature automatically attempts to consume them when they are nearby. The majority of these creatures are non-confrontational and are composed of cells that increase the number of segments in the player's creature when eaten. All planes, except for the highest and lowest, contain two specially colored organisms that move the player's creature up or down one plane when touched.

This is the PSP port of the enhanced PS3 version of a game that was originally released as an indie game to play on Flash-enabled browsers. Aside from the obvious compromises in terms of graphics, everything else is the same. You don't get any game overs in this game, which makes it an excellent choice in case you want to take a break from the typical action or puzzling in many other games.
