Have you ever thought: “What if the floor disappeared after you stepped on it?” Perhaps you have seen this idea in a game before. What if whole levels were built around that? That’s the starting point for our new game, Do Not Fall.
Starting a title from scratch, creating a gameplay mechanic, story, art direction and a brand new IP was definitely not an easy task. Actually, it was challenging, but exciting at the same time.
Originally, we wanted to create a game that allows four players to play together. A disappearing floor is a common gameplay design in action platform games, but what would it be like with four people playing together at the same time? We could already imagine the fun and laughter when picturing friends trying to push each other off the floor or set each other up while looking out for themselves.
Besides this core idea, we thought about adding different objectives in the game, which later on became different multiplayer modes. In soccer mode, for example, players compete to kick goals, block each other’s shots, step on the floor to let the ball drop, or find other ways to distract opponents and prevent them from scoring.
Later on, we expanded the core idea to a single player campaign. In single-player mode, the core idea of a crumbling floor remained, and we added different types of traps and obstacles. In addition, we added the ability to dash and jump. With all these elements, we created an entertaining game to challenge player’s skills, reflex, and strategy.
After months of work, Do Not Fall is finally ready for everyone on PSN. If you get frustrated from falling, please don’t throw your controller — our game doesn’t come with an insurance policy for your controller! Get ready, and Do Not Fall!
Its baffles the mind that you’d announce a game we’d never heard of for release the following day without a trailer.
haaaaa, 2nd! I wanna see more games on VITA!
Looked up regular and new multiplayer trailers on youtube. Looks pretty fun.
It was announced before and there is a trailer.
Is this for Vita or for PS3? You should probably state that sorta thing within the article.
@5 PS3
@6,
Thanks! But where is that stated? (I’m not doubting you by any means! Just wondering haha!)
Can we have a “like” and “Dislike” button for the comments? Please oh please!
what system? Im only interested if its on Vita…
Will buy if/when it comes to Vita.
This concept reminds me a lot of “Hamilton’s Great Adventure.”

can you play those modes with bots ? i prefer single player games. idk if this has enough content for my money. looks fun though.
Why isn’t this game coming for the vita? The system can clearly run this game better than the ps3 because of it’s features, such as tilt and touch. And this is the type of game you prefer to play on the vita, I mean, at home you play big titles , and at your grandma’s house (just an example) you play fun and challenging games such as these to keep you entertained for hours. In my opinion I’d not prefer to play this game instead of Saints Row or Battlefield 3.
We want crash and spyro on vita.
Man this looks very challenging may check into this 1.
I like seeing stuff like this. To me, this is exactly the type of fun (hopefully), instantly playable game that should make up a decent portion of the digital stores. I still remember when the XBLA launched, and I checked out stuff like Geometry Wars, Marble Blast Ultra and Small Arms before that first RROD (4 of which drove me to get a PS3, and I never looked back). I remember thinking, “Okay digital download games; you got me”. And while I’m glad that we’ve since moved on to larger, meatier games becoming downloadables as well, I’m always happy to see colorful, fun games like this show up.
Looks fun. I might give it a shot.
I’m assuming it’s for PS3 because the article mentions ‘throwing the controller’? Or is it for both PS3 and PS Vita?
Anyway interesting game.
Do not fall, Do not fall for this crap!
Looks interesting, lol would be cool if it’s on the Vita as well. But really cool game none the less.
and very competitive lol
