Human: Fall Flat Plus dives into Apple Arcade

Physics-based puzzle game Human: Fall Flat Plus arrived on Apple Arcade on Friday. If you subscribe to Apple Arcade ($5, £5, or AU$8 per month), you can play this game without additional costs, ads, or in-app purchases.

Human: Fall Flat Plus was published by 505 Games, the same studio that brought Terrarium to Apple’s App Store. Human: Fall Flat Plus is a remake of Human: Fall Flat, which won Best Casual Game from the Independent Game Developers’ Association Awards in 2018.

In Human: Fall Flat Plus, you solve puzzles in surreal landscapes with a character that moves with the coordination of a young child. That is, they always look like they are about to lose their balance and fall. Your character’s movements remind me of the classic web browser game QWOP, except here, falling down doesn’t cause the game to restart.

Watching your toddler-like character stumble, fall off small ledges and cliffs is fun, but it can also be frustrating. However, once you have solved a puzzle, no matter how long it takes, you can’t help but be proud of it.

If you are interested in this game or others, you can get a free month of Apple Arcade to sign up the first time, or you can get a three-month free trial with the purchase of a new Apple device. apple arcade adds new games and updates every week. To access Apple Arcade, open the App Store and tap the joystick icon at the bottom of your screen.
