Tap. Flip gravity. Don't crash. Freefall is a gravity-flip arcade puzzle built on a single rule: tap anywhere to flip gravity. Time your flips to thread a glowing sphere through 160 hand-built neon obstacle courses — and leave a trail of spray-painted light behind you on every run. Start free with the first 6 levels: play 5 normal levels, survive the Bonus Drop, then clear one more level. If it gets under your skin, unlock the full game with one $3.99 purchase. No ads. No lives. No subscription. 8 WORLDS, 8 FEELINGS Each world doesn't just change colour — it changes the physics. The Block floats and forgives. Neon Yard is snappy and twitchy. Glass refuses to stop. Furnace explodes off every tap. Void starts you upside down. Mainframe is pure, brutal precision. You'll learn the one mechanic eight times over. EVERY RUN IS A PIECE OF ART Your sphere paints as it flies. Land a clean line and you're left with a glowing trail worth screenshotting. No two runs ever look the same — share the ones you're proud of. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU • 160 hand-crafted levels across 8 distinct worlds • One-tap controls anyone can pick up in three seconds • Instant restart — no waiting, no "watch an ad to continue" • Chase 1, 2 or 3 stars on every single level • 100% offline. No account. No tracking. No WiFi required. • Native on iPhone and iPad. Dark-mode, OLED-friendly. FREE TO START. ONE UNLOCK. NO ADS. We built the physics puzzle we actually wanted to play — the kind that lets you feel the loop before asking for money, then never interrupts you with ads, timers, currencies, or lives. One full-game unlock. Play it on a plane, on the sofa, on the commute. For fans of Alto's Adventure, Monument Valley and Orbit who just want to buy a beautiful game and play it. Freefall. One tap. Eight worlds. Zero nonsense.
