I only know a little bit of classical mechanics, so I could be wrong here, but if we consider earth to be flat we could still take the center of mass and apply the normal inverse square law. If you go further away from the center of mass, the force of gravity would decrease (see poorly drawn picture). Since the top is flat, though, the further out you go the more sideways you'd have to stand to have your feet pointing to the center of mass, so everything would have to be super tilted at the edges (again, see picture).
