Failed Falling

Failed Falling is a challenging platformer where falling is not a threat, but the goal. Starting from the top of a quiet, but still active volcano, sail the rising air currents with your reusable parachute to safely descend the peak, while being careful to not lose progress by staying in them for too long: the parachute might protect your body, but not your sanity...

-Using the air currents requires planning: once open, the parachute won't close until you reach the ground; there's no turning back!

-Most updrafts are a double-edged sword: you need them to proceed, but they can easily trap you and make you lose progress.

-Governing your momentum is key: the way you enter an updraft is the most important factor in the fate of your jumps.

-Open the parachute at the right time: timing when to activate it can make all the difference, but wait too long and it will automatically open.

-Practice is the way to victory: at any moment, you can activate practice mode to test your jumps before committing to them.

-Analyze your immediate surroundings: the practice hologram has a limited range, but good enough to give you an idea of what's to come.

-The threat of losing progress remains: once you stop practicing, you'll still need to successfully do it again without succumbing to pressure.

-Failures are always remembered: no matter if it's progress or regression, your current position is auto-saved; make all that practice count!

-Explore and enjoy the atmosphere: the volcano offers many different environments, each with their own ambience and music.

-Find secrets and meet quirky characters: the volcano has a rich history to uncover, but you can learn about it at your own pace.

-Take it easy or challenge yourself: the level design offers many ways to speed up the journey, but only for those who have mastered the game.

The volcano will always propel you upwards, not because of malice, but just by its nature. Will you persevere? Don't give up! You have to prove yourself...
