I hope you can climb back up...

Fall Away is a 2D platformer about Walter's quest to climb up a never-ending building.

Well, not actually never-ending. The game features 8 distinct vertical layers, each offering harder platforming challenges than the last.

Collect and master unique new abilities that let you bounce over, pull to, warp around, and phase through the ground in ways 2D platformers have never seen! Or just spend a while getting the hang of controlling Walter in the first layer. 

On his quest, Walter will not face any enemies or typical combat; Instead, he'll fight with gravity itself! When you fall, brush yourself off and use your new power-ups and knowledge to get even higher than you were before!

Also collect 10 beautiful screen borders made by Melody to fill the edges to a fullscreen (16:9) size! There are 12 songs to collect as well.

You can start a playthrough now and come back later to finish it. We'll remember you.*

Stream the soundtrack here, or collect all the songs in-game!

Have fun!
