'Human: Fall Flat' Celebrates 5th Anniversary With Level Design Competition

by Rainier on July 2, 2021 @ 11:54 a.m. PDT

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.

No Brakes Games and Curve Digital are delighted to announce that Human: Fall Flat is running an exciting 5th Anniversary Level Design Competition to celebrate five years of wobbly physics platformer fun, which opens for entries today!

Ahead of Human: Fall Flat’s fifth birthday on 22nd July, the competition invites fans to dream big and submit their most imaginative level design ideas on social media in any creative medium they choose. Participants can draw, paint, model from plasticine or building bricks, write a short description or even bake a level shaped cake - then share a high resolution picture of their creation for the chance to win. Judges will consider entries based on the amount of imagination that went into each entry - so get creative!

The lucky winner will have their dreamscape brought to life as a real in-game level across PC and console platforms and also receive an Arctis 7 SteelSeries headset and a SteelSeries Qck+ mousepad. Two runners up will also receive their very own SteelSeries Qck+ mousepad.

How to enter

To enter, all of the following actions must be completed on Gleam

  1. Follow Human: Fall Flat on Twitter
  2. Visit the official Human: Fall Flat facebook page 
  3. Upload an image of the level design

The competition is now open, and will run until 11pm BST on 12th August 2021. We can’t wait to see your designs! Good luck!

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.
