More about Flatworld

Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. None of the 328 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 97 percent of the 193 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

At 3.7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
