Flat Kingdom by FatPanda Studios is a 2.5D puzzle game in which you control Flat, who has the ability to change shape. Flat Kingdom is now on Kickstarter and has a PS4 and PS Vita stretch goal. Verocious takes a closer look.
Flat Kingdom Paper’s Cut Edition will release on April 1st. The title comes from Ratalaika Games and Fat Panda Games.
Flat Kingdom reminded me a lot of Super Paper Mario (the one on the Wii) and most of that feeling comes from the game’s art. You see the story of Flat Kingdom is about the chaotic relationship between the 3D world and the 2D one and the graphics reflect that theme by having 2D sprites move around of a Semi-3D backgrounds.
Hey Poor Player's Jonathan Trussler writes: "You’ve got to love a platformer that advertises its lack of a third dimension right in the title. Flat Kingdom is an unashamed 2D platformer that proudly boasts its straightforwardness. The plot is even about a princess of a fantasy kingdom being kidnapped, and some magic crystals being stolen – which would’ve been standard storyline fare back in the eighties. The protagonist of the tale – if anything – further reinforces Flat Kingdom’s unpretentiousness: it’s a little grey creature called Flat, who is capable of transforming into a circle, a triangle or a square. Don’t expect any labored monologues about a painful backstory from our hero!"
Looks like LBP with Tearaway with it's only identity there too, looks great.
