Fall Man, Into The Sinkhole by Clintor24
The goal of Fall Man is to collect as many coins as possible and last as long as you can by avoiding the walls and flying debris while falling down an endless sink hole. Collecting health pick-ups restores your health so you can last longer, but they're rare so don't miss em when they show up!
Controls are A/D or left and right arrow keys to move left and right. Left or right + Alt key to dash. Esc. to exit the game.
This is my first ever game jam and was a lot of fun to make. I made everything, the music track, 3D modeling and animation, all coding and UI. I hope you enjoy, and if you do. Please leave your feedback. Would love to know what you got for the high score!

I like the visuals too on the cave, the upgrades, all of it. I wish the Fall Man himself had a bit more design to him. The blank white appearance feels out of place there.
With gameplay, I do think the combo of the slow-ish acceleration and the camera position makes it a bit difficult to respond and react. It can feel like things appear before you have a chance to move, even though you saw it ahead of time. This would be improved just with a bit more tightness on the controls
Also maybe I am doing something wrong but the dash doesn't seem to work for me.
All in all fun game, sound on!
I'm also glad to see another UE game!!
Literally made me laugh out loud, the sound design and models are spot on and are hilarious!
- Great interpretation of the theme
- Next level funny
- Well packaged and functional.
A bit of crit:
- The fast movement of the walls was a bit too much for my brain haha
- The collision with the walls and other objects didn't pack a punch, and I think that in this game even a few small changes to this subject would make a huge impact (literally).
Well done!! Thanks for the positivity and laughs
The concept is a classic runner style, and itβs definitely challenging. Slowing it down just a bit might make it more approachable without losing the tension.
While the visuals are pretty minimal (especially for UE), I appreciated the inclusion of a settings menu -- always a nice touch that many jam games skip!
Overall, fun idea and solid effort. Keep it up!
