Flat Heroes is a platform action game by indie studio Parallel Circles. It was published by Deck13 Interactive, the co-authors of The Surge.

Mechanics

Flat Heroes utilizes a side-view perspective. You play as the eponymous heroes, which are squares fighting for survival in over 300 levels, all of them designed by hand. You control the protagonists with simple moves (run, jump, dodge, and attack), and the gameplay involves jumping on platforms, avoiding traps and enemies' attacks, as well as eliminating the opponents (including 10 powerful boss enemies). It's worth noting that the game features a high difficulty level.

NintendoWorldReport: 9 / 10 by Jordan Rudek

Regardless, Parallel Circles has created a true winner here, and I look forward to going back to Survival mode to keep my name on the leaderboards (Mother3, naturally). I also plan to return to the Campaign Heroes stages, but I'll give my heart a little break first. Flat Heroes isn't the first game to feature a small square as the main character, and it won't be the last, but in the case of this game, Huey Lewis and the News had it right: It's hip to be square.

Nindie Spotlight: 9 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight

All said Flat Heroes is a complete and deep package whose unassuming appearance belies a wide variety of challenges and opportunities for fun. Even if you’re unable to get some friends together the massive 300 levels of the single-player campaign, Survival levels, and pretty competent bot for Versus mode could keep you occupied for quite some time. If you’ve been looking for something that’s satisfyingly different and impeccably crafted you’d be making a mistake by overlooking this indie gem.

Now, it might seem like I've given it quite a hard time but Flat Heroes isn't bad.
