Flock

What it is

Flock is a drag game for the browser. A flock of dots follows you, and your job is to take it through the gap in each wall that comes down the screen. The flock behaves on its own: its dots group together, keep a fair distance and line up with each other, and you only point the way.

A wide flock will not fit a narrow gap, so it helps to hold your finger still for a moment and let it stretch into a column. Dots that hit a wall are lost; now and then loose groups appear that give dots back to the flock when you collect them. Every wall you clear is one point, and the run ends when too little of the flock is left. The gaps narrow and the walls come down faster as you go.

With a finger or the mouse

With a finger or the mouse: touch and drag, and the flock heads where you point. The first touch starts the run.

With the keyboard

With the keyboard: use the arrow keys, or the A and D keys, to move it. Escape or the P key pauses the game.

Daily challenge

Pick “Daily challenge” on the start screen or after a run. On that day everyone gets the same walls and gaps, in the same order, and your best score for today is saved separately on your own device. Today’s challenge is the same for everyone on each difficulty, and each one keeps its own best score.

Difficulty

You can play Normal, Hard or Extreme. On the last two the walls come down faster and the gaps are tighter. Each keeps its own best score.
