Addictive, never-ending fight against gravity

FallDown! is a very simple game of skill, yet one that’s easy to get hooked on.

Looking at the screenshots you’re probably thinking it looks like a crappy old Spectrum game ported for the iPhone. Well, don’t let those old school neon graphics fool you, because FallDown! is one of the most addictive mobile games of the year.

The object of the game is simple: to guide your little ball down through the gaps in the platforms by tilting your iPhone from side to side. The screen is constantly scrolling upwards, and if you’re too slow and the ball ends up getting squished against the top, it’s game over. While there is a top, there is most certainly no bottom, meaning FallDown! is effectively a never-ending game.

The gameplay in FallDown! is very repetitive but it’s also highly additive, as you strive to beat your previous high score and get onto the online leaderboard. A little variety is added in the form of collectable power-ups, which change the behavior of the ball or the scrolling platforms.

It’s one of the least technologically advanced iPhone games, but FallDown! is fun, easy to play, and very, very addictive.
