Flat Heroes

A small square. 300+ handcrafted levels. Tight, tuned controls.

Flat Heroes is the reason the studio exists: a fast-paced, minimalist action platformer where every player is a small square dodging a world that wants them gone. It is the purest expression of what Parallel Circles cares about: gameplay, interaction and game-feel, with nothing on screen that doesn’t earn its place.

1 to 4 players, drop-in / drop-out, across 300+ handcrafted levels, bosses and four versus modes. Elegance, turned into a deadly weapon.
