About Falling Fred
Falling Fred sends poor Fred plummeting endlessly downward through a gauntlet of spinning blades, walls, and obstacles. Your job is to guide his fall away from anything that would end it violently — though 'end it violently' is usually quite funny.
The game's dark humor and exaggerated gore animations give it a distinctive personality. The vertical endless format was fairly novel at release and the tilt controls on mobile made it immediately intuitive.
- Vertical endless fall format
- Increasingly dense obstacle patterns as you descend
- Ragdoll gore animations for every death
- Score multipliers for near-miss moments
