Fallosophy

Played the demo and had a good time, bought on release and was not disappointed! Only complaint would be that it felt a bit short other than that it was a very enjoyable play through that I will likely play through a few more times in the future!

I started this game and the narrator quickly annoyed me, way more pretentious than the voiceover in Getting Over It, which I enjoyed. Without the voice it's pretty much Getting Over It but pinball, decently executed. The added mechanics in the following stages are pretty good, more fun than the first stage. The final stage though really struck me with its visual style and some other, more unusual ideas. I even turned the narrator back on, and liked it there. That one stage really felt like some of my favorite 2000's indie games.

this game was very cool and fun and whatnot but the demo was barely shorter than the full game so id say play the demo and only buy the full thing if u wanna support the devs work since its price is still pretty cheap

Though I don't often leave reviews, I feel like Fallosophy is deserving of one. Fallosophy distinguishes itself from the "rage game" genre in two ways that make it far more enjoyable (at least to me). 1) The controls aren't purposely unintuitive. Many rage games have control-schemes that are designed to be difficult to properly learn. They're commonly very different than controls usually feel in a video game which leads to difficulty unlearning habits ingrained by other games in order to properly play, improve, and make progress. Fallosophy doesn't create artificial difficulty by making the controls unwieldy. Instead, the natural difficulty of moving a pinball with only flippers [spoiler] at first [/spoiler] creates the difficulty of the game. It's an uncommon skill to have, but one that is intuitive and feels good. 2) There are checkpoints. While having punishment for failure is good game design, there is such a thing as too much. Most "rage games" are overly punishing by design. They usually purposely invoke feelings of rage and hopelessness upon failure, sometimes resetting the player all the way back to the beginning of the game for a single mistake. Fallosophy doesn't have…

Well thought out routes with a challenging, but do-able difficulty. I dug it (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)

It did not overstay its welcome.
