What is Flat Kingdom Paper's Cut Edition?
Flat Kingdom Paper's Cut Edition is a 2D platforming adventure set in a papercraft world threatened by an evil thief and returning 3D chaos.
Flat, the hero, changes between a circle, triangle, and square to solve puzzles, pass obstacles, and defeat enemies. Combat uses shape matchups: triangles overcome circles, squares overcome triangles, and circles overcome squares. The game combines platforming, puzzles, and some Metroidvania elements. New abilities open areas that were previously inaccessible. Players can fight giant bosses, pursue side quests, collect upgrades, find hidden scrolls about the kingdom's history, and uncover other secrets. The story follows Flat's attempt to recover a stolen Magical Jewel, rescue the princess, and restore balance to the 2D realm.
