Fallosophy

I turned pinball into Getting Over It. -Two buttons. -One vertical world shaped by the history of ideas. -No score. -No safety net. If you fall, you climb back up. It’s called Fallosophy. Would you keep climbing?

@Creiz We love Pinball Spire! But this one is more linear, not a metroidvania. More about precision and expands out to more mechanics from flippers as you ascend, like magnets, pistons and swings

@FallosophyGame Nobody's talking about store.steampowered.com/app/2601940/Pi… Pinball Spire? It's why I'm gonna buy this game day one, because I need more games like this.

@LiteralShmuck Did he give you a fright? 😂

the final boss of this genre of rage game this is fucking evil

@TheSalltt Did he give you a fright 😂

@FallosophyGame Just finished the demo... what the fuck was that /pos

@AyasuVT Hey! We didn't, but definitely agree it's something that we still need to work on. More than anything else I think right now it's missing the clean narrative thread the whole way through to the end of the demo, rather than disconnected musings. Expect updates :)

@FallosophyGame Okay, played the demo a bit, gameplay is fun. My only major critique is the text? I dunno if you guys used AI for the text(and I'm not accusing), but a lot of the text *sounds* like when AI is trying to sound fake philosophical. Otherwise I had a lot of fun with the demo!

@IncidentNoodle Weight, feel first of all. Thematically fallosophy is abour ascending through the history of human ideas and we evolve the concept of Pinball as you ascend beyond just flippers and plungers to things like swings, magnets and pistons

@FallosophyGame How’s it compare with FlippUp? Since they both have the same basic concept

@Vtuba3 Check out the demo and let me know what you think - we built stops into the design to counteract this

@FallosophyGame Looks cool. The only issue I can see is that you have no way to predict what's coming next because unlike Jump King, there's no time to stop and take in the situation, so you're almost for sure going to fall back down every time you hit a new screen.

@FallosophyGame Nice concept!

@sh_mallows We love that game! Ours uses two buttons, and thematically it involves a linear ascent through the history of human ideas, and as it does so, evolves the mechanics of pinball beyond just flippers and kickbacks to things like swings, pistons, pendulums and magnets

@FallosophyGame Looks fun. Yours looks more Jump King-esque from the outside, I think? How else would you say it differs from this one?

@ihugfoids We'll make sure the person responsible for this is fired (and that it's fixed in the next patch, thanks)

@FallosophyGame I'm stuck

@IHTAcast Aha good find, we were wondering when someone would catch that 😂

@FallosophyGame I love that the Plinko sounds play Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring

@Kyithios Oh man we tried this game as part of our research. It's a super interesting concept but the physics have not aged well and it was janky even for it's time. I think if someone were to take the RPG elements in this day and age though I think there would be something there

@FallosophyGame I'm getting more Jump King from this I think. But more than that? PINBALL QUEST IS BACK BABY! Sort of.

@ShouraiLive Got it! We'll put it in the next update :)

@FallosophyGame I think the arrows would help. As I previously said, I can only use my *right* hand. In order to do A & D, I'd have to reach all the way over to the left

@ShouraiLive We can add arrows as well if it helps. Any controller should work!

@FallosophyGame Interesting. I would've thought it would be the arrows but A & D are doable. 👍 How about controller support?

@00Redenpiller We're here to make that nightmare a reality :)

@FallosophyGame I had a nightmare once about being forced to play a game like this.

@StewTheRat Later this year all going well! Demo is up on the Steam page though if you want to give it a try!

@FallosophyGame I am so sick and tired of seeing awesome looking games on here instantly rushing to buy it to only see "add to wishlist". Whens it out?

@romantuerki We love Yoku! This one is not a metroidvania though, it's more linear and based on precision rather than permanent upgrades

@FallosophyGame Reminds me a lot of Yoku’s Island Express (a game I very much enjoyed)

@SylarSuper Aha well spotted. We were looking at a lot of illuminated manuscripts for the medieval area and this one stood out!

@FallosophyGame Oh hey, the Devil’s selfportrait from Codex Gigas!

@cranberryclock @binkamin_ Later this year, all going well

@FallosophyGame @binkamin_ The atmosphere feels wonderful. When can I get my hands on this?

@Apexpredatory1 There are definitely elements of it, a lot of precision involved especially the further up you ascend

@FallosophyGame Is it like Celeste but pinball?

@damduckiedam We love Yoku! But our game is not a metroidvania. It's a linear climb that's more about precision, rather than an exploratory game with powerups
