Fall is a physics based puzzle game that rewards clever thinking and fast reflexes. Each board presents a new challenge to master, keep playing and see if you can perfect each level. How to play You don’t control The Shape, the shape can only fall, you control the board. Rotate the board to make The Shape fall how you want. Navigate the board and reach Home. It may seem simple, but we track each board rotation, how quickly can you get The Shape Home? Master Each Track Fall provides a number of tracks to play, each with its own unique challenge. Getting Home is tricky, you need to have the same number of blocks in The Shape as Home. Some blocks will grow the shape, others will shrink it, manage your size to complete the challenge. NEW: Our latest track is FROZEN! The shape falls much faster on a frozen track, use the new Freeze block to pause its fall and make that critical turn! Play Anywhere, Anytime Fall is perfect for a quick game, or for longer play sessions. Play a single level until you perfect it, or see how far into the track you can get.
