Flat Earths!

My friends and I played this game so much over the weekend and we had a great time! The colors and artwork are cute. The game play is lots of fun!

Flat Earths! is a Unity based "couch brawler", aka PvP only, local multiplayer only retro pixel platform brawler. Like Joust, or Smash Bros, only not as good. The game features a minimalist/MS Paint tier "art" style as a substitute for modern PC graphics, so the visuals are extremely poor and look phoned in. There's no online multiplayer, either. I had a look at my gaming rig to make sure, and it's definitely not a console peasant gaming appliance, so it seems this game is on a platform where the target audience isn't. You can do botmatching, but the game doesn't feature any actual content. Developers must learn that PvP, other players, are not an acceptable subsitute for doing the job of game developers and adding story, level design, plot, and meaningful single player interaction to games. The game is completely free. Nothing speaks more to a developers belief in themselves and their product than making their game available for everyone without remuneration. This is certainly a gesture that shows dedication to the gaming industry. It's a shame in this case that the implementation is below the minimum standards a dedicated PC game should offer to enthusiasts. There's no "maybe" option in Steam, unfortunately, but I hope to see more work from this developer, perhaps as part of a professional game development company that can make full use of their talents without needing to make budget/quality compromises.

OK so this is a clone of 1982's Joust general gameplay; several mechanics are different. There's basic single-player against bots, but it's aimed at couch co-op (i.e. not my demographic). The art style looks great. Better than Astro Joust. https://youtu.be/BWoiLNri0OM https://store.steampowered.com/app/762670/Astro_Joust/

Uzaya giden tek şey hayal gücünüzdü. Şimdiye kadarki ilk gerçeklik tabanlı video oyunu. Mil kare başına 8 inçlik eğrilik bu oyunda bulunmuyor… ya da bizim bölgemizde.

I made this to play it with friends. We have fun playing it. Perhaps you'll have fun playing it. FYI this review is as biased as they get.
