How to Play
No download, no install, no manual. Open a tab, connect a wallet, and you're standing in Flatworld in about ten seconds.
Here's what those first ten seconds turn into — and what to do once you're in.
Connect an EVM wallet (MetaMask) on Robinhood Chain, hold at least 100 $FLAT, and pick a name. That name is yours, locked to your wallet, forever. Don't want to commit yet? Walk in as a guest and look around first — you just can't touch anything that matters.
You spawn on the Mainland with empty hands. Grab your tools, drag them onto hotbar slots 1–4, and click the ground to walk. That's the whole control scheme. There's no armor and no gear score here — staying alive is about paying attention, not stats.
Five realms, one character. Walk onto a portal at the edge of any map to cross between them — your bag and gold come too.
Mainland is home: bank, shops, market, casino. Nothing can kill you here. Gathering is where the good nodes are and the only place you can build. Wilderness is where the loot gets better and so does the chance you lose all of it. Arena is for staking gold and settling it one-on-one. Emberforge is metal and smithing, and it won't let you in until your levels are up.
Axe on trees, pickaxe on rock and ore, rod on fishing spots. Click a node with the right tool in hand and you work it — every swing feeds the matching skill, and the higher that skill climbs the faster and richer the node gets. Skills cap at 50.
Everything you pull stacks to 999 in your bag (press I). This is the loop that funds everything else you'll do, so get comfortable with it early.
Melee only. Equip a sword, click a target, keep clicking — or hold F. The town dummies are free practice and they don't hit back; use them until the timing feels natural.
Then the Wilderness. Better mobs, better drops, and a hard catch: die out there and your loot stays on the ground as a tombstone for anyone to grab. Low HP also drags your movement speed down, so the moment a fight turns you should already be healing — not deciding whether to.
Cast at a spot, wait for the bite, reel it in. Bigger fish need a higher Fishing level. Raw fish does nothing for you — cook it at a firepit and it becomes food that heals. Build your own firepit in the Gathering realm or borrow one you find.
Gold runs the economy — gear, cosmetics, land, casino, all of it. The shop is buy-only: to earn gold, haul big resource bundles to the Traveling Merchant's carriage (rotating offers, daily cap), or list your loot on the Marketplace and name your own price to other players. You can also trade face-to-face: walk up to someone on the Mainland and click them to open a direct trade — both sides offer items or gold, both accept, done.
Check the daily quests every day. Chop, mine, catch, kill — small objectives that pay potions and XP and reset on the clock. And keep an eye on your tools: they wear down with use and go dull at zero — repairs at the Blacksmith are cheap and grant Smithing XP.
Once gold's coming in, spend it. Claim a plot at the land office (rent is 40g/week — keep it paid or the plot is repossessed), and resell it later if you want. Join or found a guild (G): guilds run wheat farms on land plots — plant, grind flour at the windmill, bake bread for an XP buff — and can claim territory zones in the gathering realms for +25% yields, defended at the banner every Saturday evening. Put a mount under you and move faster (press Q), switch camera views with V, roll the spinner, or take the Mines table at the casino — cash out before your luck runs out.
That's Flatworld: gather, trade, fight, build, repeat. Everything else is just how deep you want to take it.
There isn't one yet — and that's on purpose. Flatworld runs on gold alone right now while the world gets battle-tested. The $FLAT token comes later, on top, without wiping what you've earned. So the time you put in today still counts. Don't wait for it. Play.
