Flat Heroes is embracing the future with Comic Sans!
"The first windows logo and current one (10) have a similar style. In graphic design, as in many other arts, trends are cyclic" explains Lucas Gonzalez, visual artist of the project, "It's a matter of time that Comic Sans comes back stronger than ever, and then we will be ready". Despite of the hate from the graphic designers establishment, Comic Sans was a revolution of its era. Initially designed for comic speech bubbles, the font quick broke these barriers and started expanding in any context of the society, from public services to police reports or commercial adverts or even sport trophies. Its simple and friendly style helps to communicate a clear message in a nice educated manner, allowing this font to replace other unfashionable options like Helvetica on the career for the perfect design. But Parallel Circles doesn't stop there. Roger Valldeperas, main tool programmer in Flat Heroes, is working on a tool to integrate WordArt in the game engine: "The idea was to implement a tool that allowed us to create a wide and fancy range of visual experiences. When we asked ourselves that question the answer was clear: WordArt". As always let us know your thoughts and suggestions, and get ready to play with the new style, starting tomorrow. April 1st !

Flat Heroes, as a widely know game for its visual style based on the latest graphic design tendencies is moving forward to meet Comic Sans: the new trendy font of our era.
Flat Heroes has always been trying to be at the forefront of the graphic design tendencies following several visual style trends, such as flat design or material design. Now it's preparing to go ahead in this stream adopting the late 90s trendy experience: Comic Sans. With this move the company expects to be ready to match the top cutting-edge visual tendencies when Flat Heroes comes out of Early Access.
The first iteration with the new art style has passed all internal quality test and will be available to all our Steam players tomorrow 1st of April.

Flat Heroes is a minimalist super intense local multiplayer game with cooperative and competitive modes for 1-4 players that features squares!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Flat Heroes is a minimalistic, super intense action game starring squares for 1 to 4 players. It features a delightful control that allows players to move around the scenario in a super fluid way allowing them to beat all the challenging scenarios that its cooperative mode offers.
The game also features four completely different versus modes for players to compete against each other or against the AI, each mode highlighting a different set of skills.
The graphic style is based on the latest graphic design trend, keeping a simple but direct aesthetic and polishing all the animations and transitions to create an eye candy experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Can I play the game alone?
> Yes. The levels of the waves (cooperative) mode have been designed to be enjoyed solo as well, and the versus modes will also feature bots to play against. That said, it's probably going to be more fun with friends!
- Will the game have online multiplayer?
> No. If the game sells well and we see an option we might consider it, but it's not a feature as of now.
- Can I play with controllers? What if I don't have any?
> The game has been designed to be played using controllers, so ideally you will need as many controllers as players. We are working on a keyboard-mouse control for those who don't have a gamepad, although only 1 player will be able to play using keyboard-mouse.
- Does it have a color-blind mode?
> Yes, the game allows players to lock a color scheme that suits their needs, during the Early Access we'll work with the community to make sure there's a color palette for each type of color-blindness.
- Is the waves mode too hard and frustrating?
> It's really accessible, the first levels are easy as you get introduced to the mechanics, and the game gets harder on the latest levels, especially if you are playing alone. But it gets easier if you bring in more friends to help you!
