Fallosophy
Use just two buttons to climb a colossal pinball table spanning the history of western philosophy. Fallosophy is a minimalist game that turns pinball into a quiet struggle against gravity. No score. No tilts. No savers. Falling down means climbing back up again. Why climb? What does it all mean?
Fallosophy is a tough precision pinball platformer set in a towering vertical world of ideas. Master flippers, plungers, and momentum as you climb through the eras of philosophy. You will fall. You will rise. And you will learn to ask why.
Journey Toward Understanding
From the echoing cave of ignorance to the shattered spires of modernity, Fallosophy takes you on a journey through worlds inspired by the evolution of philosophy: ancient, medieval, modern, and beyond. Traverse worlds shaped by thinkers and movements that transformed how humanity understands reality, truth, and the self.
Each level is both physical and conceptual. Platforms crumble like forgotten doctrines, ideas linger in the soundscape, and progress feels like revelation.
Ascend the History of Thought
You are Baetyl, a lone spark of thought, climbing from the dark cave of ignorance toward the light of understanding. A voice calls out from the depths. Calm, commanding, and impossibly old. It names itself the Philosopher King, and urges you upward. Yet with every ascent, its wisdom begins to sound more like control.
Stand on the Flippers of Giants
As you climb, you will discover that flippers are more than simple levers. They are instruments of thought. Blindly flipping will only send you back to the base of the world. To master Fallosophy, you must clear your mind and understand the flipper’s nature: the subtle bounce, the edge flip, the cradle. These are not tricks; they are the philosophies of motion.
What Fallosophy is Not
We want to make sure this game is for you before you buy it. To make this clear, this is what Fallosophy is not:
Not a Metroidvania. You will not unlock abilities or revisit earlier areas. Progress moves upward, not outward.
Not a casual pinball game. This is not about racking up points. It is about mastering control in a space where failure is constant and meaningful.
Not forgiving. Falling is part of the experience. You can lose minutes or even hours of progress in a single mistake.
Not a power fantasy. There are no upgrades, no win button, and no shortcuts to enlightenment.
Not an action game. There are no enemies to fight or projectiles to dodge. Only gravity, momentum, and your own impatience.
Okay, but what does it all mean?
That is for you to discover.
