About Falling

Platform: NES
Developer: xram64
Year: 2018
Genre: Action
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

xram64's arcade game about a long fall through the sky, with Day, Sunset and Night modes.

You steer the falling character around floating platforms and collect orange tokens, with three lives. The fall speeds up the longer you last. Day is the normal mode, Sunset slower and more relaxed and Night the hardcore one.

It was the author's first project in assembly and the first game they designed from scratch, written in 6502 assembly with NESASM. A later update smoothed the difficulty into about 50 steps up to top speed at 255 seconds and gave Day mode a new music track. The source is on GitHub.
