Don't Fall

Don't Fall is a challenging platforming game about Grumpy, a curious frog who sets out to climb into the sky. He lives in a poor island shantytown that is gradually becoming deserted. One day, cars, pieces of earth, cans and other objects begin floating upward, and time stops. A rumor blames a black hole, but the disappearance of all humans remains unexplained. Other frogs tell Grumpy he cannot make the journey because he is “just a frog,” but he is determined to find out what is happening.

Jump and navigate

You charge Grumpy’s energy gauge by holding the space key, then release it to jump; the amount of energy determines the jump’s height. Releasing at the right time matters, since Grumpy may not have enough energy to jump otherwise. You can also steer him in the air, though with some limitations.

The game moves through a range of challenging phases, including 2D sections, top-down views, precision landings on small objects, path choices and water crossings.

Flags and collectibles

Flags act as checkpoints. After falling or dying, you can press E to reappear at the last flag you touched, up to three times per flag. Touching another flag that has not yet been activated grants three reappearances there.

Diamonds and keys are optional. They open doors that require a certain number of these items, unlocking rewards such as more diamonds or keys, teleporters that help you progress, bonus flags and other benefits. The game is mainly linear, and you can finish without collecting them. To complete the game, Grumpy must be blue; if he is still green, you have not yet finished.
