A downloadable game for Windows

Escape the depths by bouncing on bubbles and avoid the hazards which slowly present themselves. Glowing red = danger... at least to start with! Each new depth you reach causes the colours to change and the hazards to increase, with enough random generation so each upfall is never the same. It's not easy, it's sometimes mean, but with fast restarts, lots to discover, and quick rounds you'll find yourself coming back over and over.  Can you find your way back to the surface?

Made for humans, by humans. Also on Steam here.

Totally, utterly free – The world isn't great right now for a lot of people so we wanted to give back. Upfall is completely free - no ads, no monetisation, no catch

Quick rounds – Each fall takes between 2 and 10 minutes so you can play between other games or on your lunch break

Unlocks and customisation – Unlock colour palettes, audio styles, ambiences, and characters to customise how the game looks and sounds

Keyboard or controller – Play keyboard only, feel the controller vibrate, or watch the DualShock 4/DualSense controller light change colour to reflect the game state

Chill but eerie – Simple rules to discover with a creepy, no-jump scares, atmosphere to keep you engaged and coming back


Do you want to know what playing a game might sound like in a massive underground oil tank? How about in an otherworldly gasometer, a 60 meter tall silo, or played through a slinky? Upfall experiments with convolution reverb to put the game into real, strange places around the globe that you can explore as you play.


A game by Amicable Animal with art from eggysworld and piano samples from Luci Holland.

(Just so you know: this game is provided as is, and we can't offer support as it's free. It is built in Unity so if you can play Unity games it should run fine!)

Install instructions

Download the game and unzip it somewhere. Run the Upfall.exe file to launch the game. Do not remove the steam_appid.txt file from the folder, or it will try to launch Steam. If you want achievements, remember you can grab a free version on Steam too!

The game should support keyboard and most controllers out there, including Xbox, PS4/PS5, and Joy-con controllers. Icons will update for those, and should have a fallback for other controllers too. If it's not being detected, quit the game, make sure the controller is active, and then relaunch it.
