Flatland - Vol. 1 is a fast-paced hardcore platformer featuring hand-crafted levels and Lightning-fast respawns. Help Square survive his journey to the depths of Flatland, a minimalist neon-style 2D world. Run, jump, die, learn, repeat.
Update: I ended up giving the second game in the series a shot because based on the trailer it looked much better. And it ended up being SIGNIFICANTLY better than this game in almost every possible way. Would strongly suggest you buy/play that game instead, "Flatland Vol 2".

- Touching the wall in-air makes you stick to it. You can not get away by moving to the opposite direction, but only by jumping. This...
