- Introducing our new project, Boxing x Rhythm VR game BEAT THE BEATS! - 25 January 2024
Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well. We (the devs) just wanted to let you know we’re working on something new. It’s called BEAT THE BEATS! Wishlist here! Beat the Beats is an electric mix of rhythm and boxing game. Use actual boxing-style punches to pound your way through musical arcade levels in hypnotic VR, working up a sweat as you climb the leaderboards. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, please head over to the Steam page and add it to your wishlist, and be sure to follow us for more updates. We are planning to release the game later this year on SteamVR. Thank you so much! Lucas and Josef (Parallel Circles)
- Small distribution update! - 25 July 2019
Hi everyone! We are very happy to finally get full control of the publishing rights of Flat Heroes. After a lot of discussing we have decided to bring the price of our game on par with other platforms (9.99$). We think that the new price will still be very fair for the scope of Flat Heroes and it will give us a tiny bit more room to work on projects to come. The adjusted price will come into effect earliest August 1st 2019. We wanted to give you a quick shout about this upfront so you still have the chance to buy the game at the current price if you want to. Thank you so much!
- Small Update: Launch Options! - 19 August 2018
Hi everyone! After reading some feedback from the community, we made a small update to add a few launch options (to enable them go to Steam, right click on Flat Heroes > "Properties" > "Set Launch Options", and write the commands you want to use, without the ' ): '-disableGeometryShaders' : use it to go back to the more "flat" version, we prefer the new and improved style, but we won't judge you if you want the old one back :) - '-show-screen-selector' : to see the launcher that lets you change the resolution and Graphics Quality '-mouseButtonSupport' : a few users wanted the old mouse+keyboard control (where you attacked with the mouse), use this if you want the old controls back. If there are any issues, you can find us in the forums! :)

Flat Heroes has finally been released. As you know we haven't updated the game since quite some time. We did this for a reason: To give you one massive update with tons and tons of content. Flat Heroes has now over 300 Levels, 10 unique bossfights, daily challenges, more survival modes and tons of smaller bugfixes and adjustments. And we believe it was well worth the wait. With all the new content, we hope you will enjoy Flat Heroes even more. And now: Go. Play. Become a true hero!

- Achievement news! - 25 February 2018
Hi! First of all, apologies for our absence these last months, we are completely focused on the final version with the aim of creating a bigger and more intense experience to satisfy all players, and is taking a bit more time than expected. We should be able to announce a release date with lots of new content soon! For the time being we're going to start integrating Steam Achievements, but because of how Steam is set up the number of achievements we're testing is going to be public at all times and all we can do is set them as hidden. So from now on you may see that Steam says Flat Heroes has a number of hidden achievements, but there will be no way of unlocking them until the final release.

- New update v0.485 is live! - 9 March 2017
Hey everyone! We've just made another quick update to improve some of the aspects players have reported! The most notable one is probably making the transitions between levels faster, with the option to make it super fast if you know how! (*hold jump!*) We've also added the option to disable the screen-shake and made some bug fixes. Update notes: - Quicker level transitions, and even quicker if you want! - Added option to disable screen-shake - Fixed levels color offset - Minor changes on first boss - Some minor bugs fixed - The play-with-controller message should only apear the first 3 times. Enjoy! Parallel Circles

- Level progression tweaking - 4 March 2017
Hey everyone! We've had some players reporting a few issues on level progression so we made a quick change to ensure new players can learn the basics :) That includes a change of the boss of world2, and we've had to remove the last boss for the time being, sorry about that! But no worries, it'll be back on the next update! We also wanted to thank everyone who have given feedback as it helps us a lot and that's why we are on Early Access, so please keep sending us feedback and stay tuned for the next updates! For any sugestions or comments join us on the Steam Discussions or find us on Twitter and Facebook! Thanks, Parallel Circles

- New update v0.48 is live!! - 25 February 2017
Hey everyone! Today there's a new Flat Heroes update (v0.48)! We've been working on the difficulty curve to make it a bit more smooth, and this update also adds a new world and brings some new enemies to the waves mode. It's a great opportunity to revisit the adventure again! We also updated the player's movement set to add some more depth and give players more options in each situation, so there are new and more exciting ways to beat some levels now! And we reworked the charging and shooting mechanics for the versus modes, which should make it more viable to use in combats. And you may also find lots of small changes that we've been doing to polish the game further :) Here are the update notes: New Final Boss! Currently on world 6, let us know what you think! New enemy inspired by some retro game (guess which one!), but of course a bit more intense New enemy based on beehives... but of…
