FlowPlay is a virtual world community built around browser-based casual games. Users get to play the best casual games as their own created anime-like avatar. When they play games they earn stuff for their virtual life like clothing, refrigerators and other virtual store items. The site wants to provide the option to play casual games or interact with people in the virtual world (or both).
