What is QuadRiot?
It's simple. Students submit funny, strange, worthy-of-sharing links. The community votes (aka riots) on what bits are good enough to make it out of the queue and enter immortality on this front page. Presto! The best of the Interweb for your procrastination perusal.
There's the comforting, spacey music. There's the easy way "you" spin around and move through the water. And the ruthless way you eat everything to get ahead. It's Flow.
Point the mouse where you want to go, use the left click to go fast, and eat stuff to get bigger. If you eat a thing with a red dot, you'll "dive" deeper, where there's more stuff, and maybe some of it can eat you. If you eat a thing with a blue dot, you go back up. The red and blue things radiate circles that tell you where they are.
Seems fun, but I don't exactly understand it, and the page that says "How to play" won't load. Help?

It reminds me of the first stage of Spore.
