About Freefall
The goal is simple: don't hit anything. But it may not be that simple, as the world starts closing in around you, pulsating in time with the music while simultaneously starting to pulsate to the beat of the music. Inspired by games like Terry Cavanagh's Super Hexagon, Freefall will take you to a surprisingly zen-like state of mind as you navigate through its endless canals.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise Freefall as a charming, fast-paced arcade game with a great soundtrack and addictive gameplay loop similar to Super Hexagon, with particular appreciation for the developer's responsiveness in adding features like Y-axis inversion and VR support. Common complaints include performance issues on lower-end hardware and laptops, controller support that feels clunky compared to keyboard controls, and occasional difficulty with the game's mechanics. The game is generally seen as a solid, affordable pick for arcade enthusiasts looking for a quick, skill-based challenge.
Very fun game, great to play while you're high :)7 found this helpful
For those considering this game, Freefall has controller support but I personally found using a controller to be difficult. Just a heads up. Freefall I think is the wrong title. You can't fall if there is no down (and no gravity). Maybe Propulsion? The premise of the game is that you are flying through a field of implicit surfaces and avoiding them for as long as you can. Design-wise it is similar to Super Hexagon as the designer and everyone else point out. An arcade game that through attrition and repitition seeks to train your senses and reflexes to adapt to its bizarre interaction. There are no hit points and no checkpoints and your highscore is measured in time. Thematically though it is quite different. Super Hexagon was all about rotation. You needed to learn to detect orientation and direction through the cacophony of distractions the game throws at you. Freefall is more concerned with path-finding. You need to find a safe path through the game's cave-like structures kind of like the way water flows down a stream. Directing yourself towards an open hole in a world closing up is visually and mechanically pretty cool. I think this can't be understated. Most twitch arcad…2 found this helpful
A great game for the cheap. I would appreciate Linux support and better performance though. It isn't great for laptops. Any less than the RTX 2070 gpu in this laptop I would imagine not as enjoying.1 found this helpful
I like to collect colorful, simple-design, good-soundtrack, fast-paced arcade-style games. This game caught my eye and I bought it up, but I found it did not initially have an option to invert the Y axis, which is critical for my brain in a piloting game. The developer responded personally to my feedback and added the feature in the last patch, as well as VR support and a ton of other features. The work put into this game has greatly improved the experience and definitely made it worth the purchase to me. Also fun on steamlink!1 found this helpful
