Sounds good. On my end, the main issue was that the tool speed ruined the game progression, even with end-game gear, since I was spending so much time waiting for the flint axe and pickaxe to do anything.  

Also, if you're planning on leaving the inventory system in a similar state, please make the bags distinguishable. I want to be able to tell my many cloth bags apart. 

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)

I tried to kill the cat by landing on him with my spaceship, but it softlocked me - the quest to capture him was left unfinished, and when I left, the game seemed to think I captured him. I was so sure that was the way to get him, too...

I am stuck in Chapter 2. How do you find a working terminal in the office room to generate a one time access code to the storage room? I assumed it would be the large, obvious display that was already on in the middle of the room, but I cannot seem to interact with it. 

You can do this yourself by doing a 180 and right-clicking your way over the spawn wall as soon as you start the game. The longer you fall, the more screwed up the graphics get. You'll only see it in your hand and gun though. 

the game keeps softlocking. it's abandoned, right?

new graphics? (done by jumping off the map. I can't get back.)
