'Human: Fall Flat' (ALL) Surpasses $25 Million Sales, Gets New Lunar Update

by Rainier on Feb. 11, 2021 @ 12:00 p.m. PST

Human: Fall Flat is a quirky, open-ended, physics-based, third-person puzzle and exploration game set in surreal, floating dreamscapes.

Your goal is to escape the dreams of falling by solving puzzles with nothing but your wits and physics.

Human Fall Flat is a surreal physics puzzle game in which players are tasked with helping Bob (a builder – but not *that* one) escape his surreal dreamscapes. The world of Bob’s dreams are built on his daily experiences, hopes, fears and memories, crafted into nightmarish puzzles by the nefarious dream maker.

At its heart, it’s a game which will make you laugh. Bob is a human. No hero, no super powers. Bob’s journey is as random as it is surreal – with no fixed solutions to the obstacles he must overcome. Taking the form of open-ended sandbox levels in which players can experiment with solutions, Bob must traverse this beautiful yet deadly world in a bid to understand what’s powering his dreams.

Curve Digital announced that No Brakes Games' Human: Fall Flat has now sold over 25 million units across the globe.

The achievement comes on the back of a successful mobile release in China in association with XD Inc and 505 Games which led to more than 2.5 million sales within the first month.

Gary Rowe, VP of Franchise at Curve Digital said: “We’re delighted to celebrate this incredible milestone with our talented partner No Brakes Games. The community has really taken Human: Fall Flat into their hearts and their excitement and support has enabled us to keep updating the game with ingenious new levels. 2020 was our biggest year yet, but alongside No Brakes we’ve got even bigger plans for the future and we’re excited to share more soon.” 

To celebrate the Chinese New Year, a new Lunar Lobby launches today exclusively on Steam. Created by the winner of the latest Human: Fall Flat Steam Workshop Competition, Muyao Li, who landed a prize of $10,000 for his effort, the lobby explores seven areas inspired by traditional Chinese tales. Within the new lobby players are tasked with uniting the 12 zodiac symbols, can shake the Fortune Tree and have the opportunity of riding the Fortune Carp rollercoaster as it transforms into a dragon.

With a staggering combined audience of over 220M followers, Xiao Tuantuan, Daimei, Sanren, Zrdxr and LanZhanFei are some of the most popular content creators in China and this February, players will receive five in-game skins based on their likeness. Captured in Human: Fall Flat style, the new skins will provide some great customisation options for players around the world to explore.

Human: Fall Flat is a hilarious, light-hearted physics platformer set in a world of floating dreamscapes which can be played solo or with up to 8 friends. Each dream level provides a new environment to navigate, with multiple routes and perfectly playful puzzles which ensure exploration and ingenuity are rewarded.

Tomas Sakalauskas, Human: Fall Flat’s creator at No Brakes Games said “My ambition was always that Human: Fall Flat would be a game that inspires creators and players to build and explore new levels without any limitation. It’s wonderful to see a brand-new lobby exploring the rich culture and tradition of the Lunar New Year. I am constantly surprised by the innovation that comes out of the worldwide community."

Players control Bob’s basic movement, but operate his arms independently, making his journey haphazard, hilarious and fraught with danger. Bob can pull stuff. He can push stuff. He can kick stuff. He can carry stuff. He can climb stuff. He can break stuff. And he can use stuff on other stuff to make other stuff happen.

Along the way, players will learn more about the human condition – and maybe something about themselves, too.

Will you try to open that mysterious door, or would you rather see how far you can throw a speaker set out that window?

Human: Fall Flat is currently available on Android, iOS, Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
