About the game

Freedom Fall is a diabolical down-scrolling platformer set in a prison tower so tall it touches the clouds. Presented with hand painted art, its old school vibe mixes with fast-paced free falling action and a story with both dark wit and heart.

What players say

I love this game, i dont know why.. but, it just fills me with joy and hope for sequel. The platforming itself is really easy, You can beat the game under 2 hours but please dont refund it.

The fact that this game only has 156 reviews at the time I'm writing this feels criminal to me. Somehow this game has been out for over 9 years (at time of writing) but flown completely under the radar. It's just a really solid platformer that oozes charm at every turn, courtesy of the text left everywhere for you by the princess. It's quite short, my two hours of playtime are two complete runs (I think, I'm...

Very short, very easy and very hard to look at. Something about the framerate and the art style makes it painful to look at, I beat this game in under an hour without using any of the powerups. If you're considering this game, go play Super Meat Boy instead.
