Fall Man, Into The Sinkhole

Sweet and simple. The audio is a highlight for me. Love the soundtrack and the different sound fx crack me up. Works well with the goofy vibe

I like the visuals too on the cave, the upgrades, all of it. I wish the Fall Man himself had a bit more design to him. The blank white appearance feels out of place there.

With gameplay, I do think the combo of the slow-ish acceleration and the camera position makes it a bit difficult to respond and react. It can feel like things appear before you have a chance to move, even though you saw it ahead of time. This would be improved just with a bit more tightness on the controls

Also maybe I am doing something wrong but the dash doesn't seem to work for me.

All in all fun game, sound on!

Simple but it scratches an itch, easy to just sit there idley playing, like the sound effects brought me a grin, good work!

Great idea, love it!

@swooty Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I totally agree with you. They do start coming pretty fast once you get farther in. Adding those tweaks you mentioned would make it a bit easier to play for sure. I would love to give more character to fall guy. I was just worried I wouldn't have enough time to animate him if I went too detailed with his design.

@scott-r-howell Thank you :)

I like the sound effects and the music. The gameplay idea is simple and fun. Sadly the game runs way to fast, and it was therefor nearly impossible not too die super quickly. But overall a okay little jam game.

This was fun. A little too loud, but it waked me up. A good feeling of speed, good gameplay at all, it fits the theme. I would like to have more fx when you collect or collide with something, and maybe better visible object overall, But I liked to play it.

Nice little game. Great silly audio. The wall texture was a bit too repetitive and fast, which hurt my eyes after a few seconds.

@boboneoone Thanks for playing. Yeah, it's a looping static mesh, so I can definitely see where you're coming from.

@psychomonster I appreciate your feedback. Yeah, the audio is indeed a bit loud lol and the visuals and audio could use some improvement. I'm glad you enjoyed playing it though!

@jk5000 Thank you. It is a very challenging game and hard to get far in. My own personal best is only 889 meters. It's a hard balance to hit, trying to make it challenging but not too challenging. I appreciate your feedback.

Very silly!

Hey! I'm also glad to see another UE game!!

Literally made me laugh out loud, the sound design and models are spot on and are hilarious!

- Great interpretation of the theme - Next level funny - Well packaged and functional.

A bit of crit: - The fast movement of the walls was a bit too much for my brain haha - The collision with the walls and other objects didn't pack a punch, and I think that in this game even a few small changes to this subject would make a huge impact (literally).

Well done!! Thanks for the positivity and laughs

Cool, I think it would be better if the player was higher on the screen, the dash was less powerful (I often bumped into the walls) and the wall easier to see (playing on low helped).

Always cool to see a UE game in the jam! The concept is a classic runner style, and it’s definitely challenging. Slowing it down just a bit might make it more approachable without losing the tension. While the visuals are pretty minimal (especially for UE), I appreciated the inclusion of a settings menu -- always a nice touch that many jam games skip! Overall, fun idea and solid effort. Keep it up!

Fun little runner style game! I liked it, the dash is a cool mechanic:)
