Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a strong or dominant protagonist may hit a wall with a main character presented as the weakest in the game.

- Players looking for a survival-crafting loop may prefer a game centered on building shelters and crafting, such as Mr. Prepper.
Our take on Flatworld
Players who expect a strong opening power curve may bounce off the premise that the main character is the weakest in the game. The specific friction point is combat against monsters and villains, where that weakness is central rather than a brief setup.
What is Flatworld?
Flatworld is an adventure game set in a parallel world of cities, dungeons, secrets, magic, puzzles, and enemies.
The player controls a character described as the weakest in the game and faces monsters and villains while exploring hostile areas. Magic abilities serve both combat and exploration: they can melt ice, electrocute targets, create gusts of wind, and place explosives to break cracked walls. Dungeons contain puzzles that require help from multiple playable characters and their distinct abilities. The story follows an organization whose business activity is harming Flatworld’s inhabitants, while the main character’s parents are also involved. Equipable badges provide upgrades, and characters can be customized with hats and visual effects.
