Finished it. Pretty darn boring, the boss battles are the lowest lowpoint. Maybe ok for small children, but even little kids would get bored by the second boss. To me, this is a good example of poor level design.

About This Game
A STORY ABOUT DIMENSIONS, SHAPES AND JEWELS
According to the Flat Kingdom’s legends, the world was once filled with malice and chaos because the 3D realm dominated all. But one day, a wise sorcerer created six Magical Jewels that kept the effects of the third dimension at bay, granting peace and prosperity to the beautiful 2D world.
However, one day an evil masked thief named Hex stole one of those Jewels and kidnapped the princess. This disrupted the balance and made the chaos return.
The king of Flat Kingdom knew there was only one being able to save their land: Flat, the little shapeshifting hero! With his unique abilities, he’s not only able to change his shape, but is also the only one in the kingdom capable of withstanding the 3D chaos.
Now the time has come. Flat must use his incredible powers to save the world and restore the Flat Kingdom to its former glory. Will he be able to stop Hex before it’s too late?
GAMEPLAY
Flat Kingdom is filled with fun platforming action, puzzles and some Metroidvania elements. It also features a unique combat system! Instead of directly attacking your foes, you’ll have to touch them while transformed in the correct shape to beat them! Kinda like a rock-paper-scissor game.
Every shape in Flat Kingdom beats the opposite, so sharp triangles can defeat the soft circles, heavy squares beat the fragile triangles and squishy circles can triumph over the slow squares. Both enemies and puzzles can be beaten using the correct shape and strategy, so you'll have to observe them and come up with the best solution.
You can also learn new abilities along the way that will help you solve even more puzzles, beat enemies faster and reach new areas that were inaccessible to you before!
FEATURES
- Jump into a beautiful papercraft world, filled with details and references to classic games.
- Test your might with epic and challenging battles against giant bosses.
- Uncover all of the game’s secrets! There are side quests, upgrades and all kinds of surprises.
- Learn all about the kingdom’s lore and history by finding hidden scrolls.
- Music by legendary composer Manami Matsumae! (Mega Man, Shovel Knight).

User Reviews
I am extremely disappointed that I don't love this game: Pros: - Cute and unique art style - Interesting game mechanic ideas Cons: - Controls are very slow and awkward to use - Game mechanics were executed poorly I really believe this game had a lot of potential but the poor execution of the main mechanics really killed the experience for me. On another note, the pricing of this game is fairly reasonable so if you are not too bothered by awkward controls, this game may be worth your time and money.
I played this game up to the first boss battle, for the price it isn't a bad little game. Check out my video to kind of see what it's about before spending your money if you aren't sure. https://youtu.be/1yXMh-bvbV0
Excelent game, really amazed by you guys. I saw your interview in "TOKEN PODCAST", That's how I found this game. The only thing I haven't liked so far is the fact that the text of the dialogue boxes cuts off when the button "E" appears and you can't read the whole thing, which are really entretaining. THANK YOU!
[h1] This game is made out of paper, but it's a decent sheet of paper and the art style of this paper is the main feature of this paper game. [/h1]
Sorry devs, but I just can't recommend this game. On the bright side, the tone and art direction are pleasant (although graphical quality is extremely uneven). Gameplay-wise, the game seems to be inspired by Trine, and carries a bit of its charm. The rest is unfortunately not worthwhile. - not yet fun after half an hour of play - character controls are sluggish and unpolished - insanely heavy handholding - game pacing is slow and constantly interrupted - very weak narrative immersion - generic music and setting I think the worst is that gameplay concepts are completely arbitrary and unjustified narratively. For instance, the main mechanic of the game is about switching between three shapes (circle, triangle and square). Once you are in the right shape, simply touching an enemy will destroy it. This feels really dumb. A rabbit is jumping towards you and you're a circle? Oh man, you're in trouble! But if you're a triangle, the rabbit instantly vanishes by barely touching you ... poof....
This is a game that isn't that popular, but this is a good game. It has interesting art styles and interesting story lines. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to play a game that plays oddly but familiar.
A good platformer with fitting music, some annoying enemies and a lot of frustration for people like me who suck at platforming. Sometimes you aren't sure where to go and especially the time challenge bits with rising lava are frustrating as hell when you fail a jump once and have to do everything all over again. The bosses offer quite a challenge with the exception of the final boss for no apparent reason which was kind of a letdown. A meh story but fun worlds which are all different in appearance make for an inviting look and fun platforming, defintely worth playing.
Good platformer. If you played this game or a demo before the paprer's cut edition and didn't like it, you should give it another chance because the game is much better now. It combines the feeling of an action platformer and a puzzle platformer. It has some gameplay mechanics that translates into a very interesting gameplay dynamics: Flat can transform into 3 shapes, each shape has different properties and different ways to interact with the world. Most of them are very intuitive and provides some depth while still being simple. Also, some times its visual style is outstanding. Unfortunately the first levels feels a little unpolished, but after beating them the game is pretty good.
Great little platformer. Had a lot of fun with it on my first playthrough, and I'm probably going to play through it again soon on the hardest difficulty. Platformer fans should definitely pick it up. Good soundtrack too.
