Battle for Flatland
Rise up against the High Priests of Flatland, together.
A cooperative boss fighting game: a tank, a healer and damage dealers against the tyrants of Flatland. Learn their abilities, play your role, and bring them down in fights that last minutes, not evenings.

Raids, without the grind
The feeling of a raid
A tank who holds the boss, a healer who keeps everyone standing, damage dealers who race against the clock, and a boss whose abilities you learn and counter together.
No farming, ever
No gear to collect, no levels to grind: everyone starts on an equal footing, and all that matters is how you play together.
Made for short sessions
No long preparation: create a game, take your places, fight. A fight lasts minutes, so it fits between two bedtime stories, and it's fine to stop when the kids call.
Never short of players
No healer tonight? Fill the team with bots. And learn any class in the tutorial, with a practice fight against the first boss.
The story
Flatland (from Edwin A. Abbott's novel) is a world in two dimensions, where the inhabitants are polygons.
At the bottom of its hierarchy are the isosceles triangles. Generation after generation, they grow closer to the equilateral triangle. From then on, each generation gains one more side, and climbs one rank higher.
At the very top are the Circles: polygons with so many sides that no one can tell them from a circle. They are the High Priests.
But lately, a rot has spread among the High Priests. No longer the good shepherds they used to be, they abuse their powers and oppress the people of Flatland.
A band of humbler polygons (Triangles, Squares, Pentagons and Hexagons) has risen against them. You are one of these rebels, and you strike first!
The High Priests are incredibly powerful, though: no one can defeat them alone. You fight them with your companions, and each of you has a role to play.
