Flatlands is a fun game with some discouraging features. It takes just a few worlds to learn the game.
also the game keeps setting resolution to 640x480
- farming
- limited amount of papyrus; forget to farm it & be doomed to farm cloth from zombies forever
- no indication to farm wheat. i think i ate all the animals in my only playable save.
- wheat seeds explode when not planted beside water
- finite unbreedable animals. my good save is now cowless after just 2 backpacks
- tools are really slow in this game. a lot of time was spent waiting to cut down trees & collect wheat.
- combat
- flint sword takes full stanima bar to kill cow
- enemies are spawning faster than I can kill them
- the fire staff sadly doesn't have splash
- I am fighting my battles with doors and walls rather than a sword
- boss
- he can shoot through walls, but not furniture (!)
- he spawnkills you, follows you through floors, and has very little indication for when he takes damage
- inventory
- hotbar is very small
- switching between bags is crucial and awkward
- you have to place items in your hotbar before you can use them.
- caves
- right click to use rope to ascend / descend floors. however, if you hold right click...
- spikes don't do anything
- silly furnace & oven mechanics.
- both use fuel even if there's nothing to cook/smelt (!)
- oven is playing hard to get (to understand) & it doesn't tell you how to make bread
- for anyone who doesn't know, oven can be used like this (resolution reduced)
