Playing FLAT

Your ultimate objective in FLAT is to defeat the Pulse Dragon.

Find additional weapons and healthkits by collecting Supply Capsules. Supply Capsules can be identified from a distance by a downward pointing "skybeam".

Enemy skaters will hunt you down, so be sure to finish them off.

General playing tips:

  • Hold down the W key to skate faster.
  • Combat music cues can give you advanced warning of enemies approaching from behind
  • Keep an eye out for skybeams to your left and right
  • Jumping can be used to dodge projectiles and hop over small crystals
  • Combat is easier when skating backwards

There are also a number of gameplay settings that can be adjusted to tune the game's experience to your preferences.

(Seriously, we didn't have a lot of time to flesh out story <3)
